… in a Les Paul.
I just installed a customs set of pickups from Q Pickups into a 2005 Les Paul Standard belonging to a friend of mine replacing the stock Burstbuckers (1&2).
The neck pickup is a heavy formvar 50s style Strat pickup in a humbucker footprint and the bridge is an unpotted A4 PAF. Very different sounding pickups obviously.
The bridge pickup is more on the flatter/full-range end of PAF style pickups, I prefer the Monty’s in my own LP, which seems to have a bit more poke but the Q certainly sounds good too.
The neck is the real star of the - bright, full, twangy, not particularly Stratty in one way but still a great sound.

Q’s website isn’t really active as they seem to do most of their selling through Reverb.
