Es 335 Gibson CS Nashville Replacing Pickups to Virgil Arlo and the RS-Guitar works harness

[@vkelly1975]

sGreat demo I also put the same Virgil arlo 59 humbuckers in my Custom shop Gibson Les Paul R9 reissue which already has vintage 50 wiring bummble bee capicitors, Gibson Custom buckers sounded great no doubt about it no run of the mill burstbuckers pro or 57, so when I changed to Virgil Arlo like yourself I was blown away with the clarity definition in every note you play handles gain notes seem to bloom I’ve never heard anything likI saw hese makes you want to keep playing what more can 🗣‼️🎸🗣🇮🇪

vkelly1975 I’ve been using Doyle’s coils lately . Considering the virgils for a 345 I just got but damn if those Doyle’s coils aren’t the closest thing to real I’ve come across yet

Are these pickups worth $1500?

[@rebbeche]

That’s for u to decide if u want to spend this amount on pickups. I didn’t pay that amount I bought them before he stoped making them. They really sound amazing, but u can find great affordable ones like wizz, throwbacks, Stephen design ( amazing pickups one of my favourite but long wait time). Hope that helps.

Gibson guitars are great but I have changed out every one's electronics and pickups

[@DanNic88]

Then they're not "great" then are they!?

@@DanNic88 I used to buy and sell a bunch of guitars and have a high end place near me. Gibsons w/ the 57 pus are good, otherwise I always change them out. QC for wood isn't perfect either. You have to look for lp, tele, whatever to make sure they are tonally good by playing them without an amp. Usually the thicker the neck the better the tone but you cannot take dead wood and make it ring. Anderson, Suhr, LSL, PRS are better w/ QC but some guitars still stand out. Those and other guitarmakers are wonderful in their own right but if you want a gibson lp then nothing else will do unless it is an old gibson lp or a gil Yaron lp. Great yes. Some are. Exquisite. Few are. Put some sheptones, wolftones, klopmans or ron ellis's into a good one with some 50's wiring and you are set. I agree with your sentiment but I personally have reconciled myself with this fact. (I would be happy buying them without any electronics at all.) Then again some are crap; just dead wood.

Fucks sake if I spent 2 and a half grand on a Gibson I don't think I'd change anything
