Humbucker-size Pickup Shootout

In this series of videos, I tested six of my humbucker-sized pickups in the same guitar with the same rig and the same mic.  The guitar is an Epiphone Les Paul with 500K CTS pots played through a vintage Bassman (black faceplate).  A Strymon Flint is used for reverb, overdrive is a Fulltone OCD, and distortion is a Russian Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi.  One SM57 is used to mic the 12" speaker cab.  I was very happy with the results and surprised at the variety of tones I could get from one guitar.  All of these pickups are available to buy on the "Hand Made Pickups" tab.
