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

I got one 256p that came with p90 pickups,they sounded good but I changed them for EMG p90 pickups,better sustain!
