ESP LTD EC-256 pick ups
ESP LTD EC-256 pick ups
So i got a esp ltd ec-256 a month ago and a string snapped. So i decided to take all the strings off and clean the body. I took the pick ups out and noticed they arent esp pick ups. They g and b pick up co. The pick ups are suposed to be lh-150's. S are these better or worse?
G&B is the company who make the pickups for LTD - they are the lh150's - the stock pickups for the guitar -
They sound good - I kept them in one of my 256 guitars.
but dimarzios, duncans or some boutiques pickups will sound better.
I put a JB in the neck and an sh5 in the bridge of my ec256 and it is a monster - I own a lot of very high end guitars
but the relatively humble 256 lives next to my amps and I play it at least 3 or 4 times a week.
Wiring the pickup split to the push pull tone pot is a bit fussy if you are doing that yourself
