Do you have a standard spec (output, magnets & wiring type) for SC rails or are there options?
Which of your pickups would you recommend I look at? I've never played anything else resembling a PAF (that I'm aware of) so not sure what I should be looking at, but generally just want a really musical sounding Les Paul, that cleans up well and has plenty of touch sensitivity and harmonics. Generally into Billy Gibbons, Derek Trucks, Bonamassa type sounds.
Cheers!
I would probably go for either my Forces Sweetheart from my 'Standard' range or the Bean-O from my Masterwound range. Both are alnico 4 so are a little brighter but still with plenty of 'sing' in the mids.
If you want more mid 'push' then go alnico 2 (at the slight expense of bass 'snap') ... my Blitz Spirits or Masterwound Tubesnakes.

Delivery was also incredibly quick and the price very reasonable.
I know where I'll be buying all my pickups from in the future.
The Nightfighter Alnico 2 Customs have taken off in a big way in the very short time I've been making them ... seems they mix old and new in a good way to lots of folks ears.
I'm not releasing a lot of new designs at the moment, though I have quite a few in the production queue, but I saw a gap in the market and popped the NFA2C in to see what happened ...
Enjoy :-)

The neck pickup blew me away - that was the main reason why I wanted to replace the 57 Classics as the neck one felt a bit lifeless. The Forces Sweetheart just nails that lovely flute-like articulation when playing past the 15th fret on the SG, just delicious.
To be honest I was a bit surprised by the bridge: to my ears it's really clear and cutting, perhaps lacking a bit of oomph in the SG for fat blues rock but conversely making it fabulous for classic hard-rock/hair metal tones. Didn't see that coming!
All in all very pleased. Quality, price, service - all great. Thanks Ash!
And what does it sound like in neck position ? I have a "super-tele" project, and I'm pretty much set on the brass knuckle for the bridge but not sure about the neck pickup yet.
Thanks
