    Humbucker Pickup suggestions for LS-60

    Hi Folks, I am very happy with my `81 LS-60, but the pickups are very thin. Less sustain, little harsh on highs... :-? Any suggestions for more bottom end, middle and nice tone for blues-rock to hard rock ? Think I would prefer Alnico 2 Magnets. Focus on a set.... maybe Seymour Duncan or Di...

    Just bought a 1981 LS-60.... what can I expect?

    Yesterday the Tokai arrived. I cleaned it, new strings and: FIRE !!! Sounds and plays great. Comes close to the "old" Les Paul Sound on neck PU. The bridge PU sounds a lot smaller, less punch & bass, little "strat" like. Not bad, but not that what I expect from this weapon. Differences to my...

    Thank you all for your kind and professional answers regarding my question about the LS-60. I am getting much more excited to receive the guitar from day to day. Most answers about the pickups are that they aren`t the best choice for this great guitar. So I am looking for some others. If the...

    OK. But aren`t the DiMarzio PAF not discontinued? Up to this guitar, I`ve only known the ones with sticker on backside. This one has other Gotohs. http://imageevent.com/chingo123/september2008/tokailoverockls60metred3581?p=35&w=4&c=4&n=0&m=-1&s=0&y=0&z=3&l=0 ??? :o

    Binding or not, that`s not important for me. It should feel nice, play well & sounding good. Without fret binding, the price for refretting is much lower and the guitar stays nearly original after refretting. Sure - the GM has other specs - and a higher price. The value of the Tokai is...

    Just bought a 1981 LS-60.... what can I expect?

    Very interesting. The Joe Walsh Pic is pretty cool. Well, my GM Les Paul is a weapon. Really a good guitar. Maybe I can tune the LS-60 with a Faber Bridge, other Caps & other Pickups. Therefore your opinion is very interesting for me. Does everybody knows the pickups which are in my bought...
