Gimme your two cents

[pabloman]

Ok guys, so I'm building a mahagony hollowbody maple top wolfgang type thing with a maple/maple neck and a PRS tremolo. I'm going to finish it in Tru-Oil. I have a set of PRS Santana II zebra pickups. I also have a 57 classic plus for the bridge and a P94 for the neck. I'm not sure which set to go with. I've never had these in anything and truthfully I probably will try them both out. Just wondering your thoughts and maybe advice.

My first thought was "bright sounding guitar", so the pickups should probably be chosen with that in mind. Sounds like a high gain guitar too!

I have a PRS Custom 22, I can say nothing is wrong with their pickups, top quality, I would try them first. As far as the Gibson stuff, depends what axe you got them out of, Gibson makes some cheap shit these days and has to buy electronics to match a price point. They sure have destroyed the reputation they had for being a top builder in the last 10 years.

Seymour Duncan's favorite combo.

It's like a 59 and a Jazz, or some similar combo.

These didn't come out of anything. They are replacement parts and Gibson manufactures their own. They are actually pretty good pups but thanks anyway. :guitarplayer2:

It's a JB and a Jazz and I already have that in another guitar and a couple other JB's in stuff as well. But anyway I have the PRS set and the Gibson set so I was lookin for opinions on those. It's gonna be one or the other. Thanks though. arty07:

Um... Maybe it's just me, but I'm Canadian, and still, being so frekin far from Aus, I have a half dozen of these:

Worthless in general usage. Shopkeepers, bus drivers etc....not obliged to accept them. We now round up or down to the nearest 5c in every cash transaction. 2c & 1c coins have to be handed into banks, dunno if they are still obliged to recognise their value or not.

If you are collecting them, they might have a little sentimental vaue and not much more, millions of them made between 1966 - 199? or so.

Australia can be embarrassingly sensible sometimes <grin>

There have been half-hearted attempts to get rid of the US penny (1 cent coin) in recent years. As it is, it costs almost 2 cents to make a penny even after changing them from a copper coin to copper-clad zinc to reduce production costs. Plus, almost nobody uses them - they mainly end up in jars. But, there have been studies that show how getting rid of the penny would actually save us money, so naturally no politician will ever vote for that.

Nobody asked for a political analysis of the penny.... :tard:
