seymour duncan hot-rodded pickup replacement

Oops, I did it again! No, I didn’t do a Britney. I have re-installed the Seymour Duncan Hot Rodded pickups. After months of missing that tone, I replaced my old pickups with these pups on my Onyx Les Paul copy. And the results, pure tonal bliss. The bridge is really sharp and crisp while the neck pickup is warm and ‘Jazzy’. Incidentally, I found out that I actually had DiMarzio pickups. Interesting. I have attached a video I made during the pickup ’surgery’. Enjoy!
