5/26/2004 at 15:02Does anyone of you guys know how to get that classical 50's twang sound? I
want to replace my guitar's humbuckers (it's a semi-hollow) and I've found
these TV'Tron pickups from tv jones (www.tvjones.com) but I want to know if
there are some other options... do you know any?
5/26/2004 at 15:08You need a Good Tele Pickup for that sweet Twang. Single coil!
DiMarzio "Twang King" Tele Bridge & Neck pickups are a good choice.
Humbuckers are boxy sounding.
That's what I think
5/26/2004 at 15:36Do you think I need to change my guitar? cuz I told you it is a
semi-hollowbody, and those pickups (which I think are great) doesn't fit on
it! or can I adapt them somehow? there is a way?... thanks.
5/26/2004 at 15:40Ooooops! I forget to say the guitar is a gibson's 335 like....
5/26/2004 at 16:23In order to give you better advice it would be helpful to know what kind of
players you like etc......
What kind of Twang are your looking for?
The Country Twang??
A 335 in my opinion is a great jazz blues guitar.
The Fender Telecaster will give you all the twang you need.
5/26/2004 at 22:22You are right! ok let me explain you... I've known that strat-solidbody
sound my whole life, but the last year I bougth this semi-hollowbody
guitar, and right now I'm more interested in this kind of axes (the "jazzy"
ones), I love those warm sweet sounds!. Well, recently I've found the
Gretsch tone, even Rickenbacker tones, wich to my ears have some sweet
twang sound i.e. Brian Setzer or even George Harrison in some of the early
Beatles songs... that's what I'm looking for...
I don't have the whole amount for a Gretsch (or something like that,
rickenbackers, guilds...) so I want to experiment with the one I have and
see if I can get that twang sound.
Thanks again!
5/27/2004 at 00:16What you need is a Humbucker sized P90.
The P90 is gibsons single coil pickup. they usually are a different size to
humbuckers, but Gibson and a few others make them to drop straight into a
humbucker mounting.
Failing that, buy a Tele
