Zhangbucker P90's in Gibson SG through a Vox AC30

[70goldtop]

With the type of music you're playing with the example,humbuckers would've sounded better in both circumstances.P90's sound best through a semi hollowbody and jazz or blues.

Cool. Where's the SG??

[bootlegapples]

I like the second guitar/pickup tone....it seems to have both a broader response and more meat...sounds more balanced.It also seems to have less icepick than the stock Gibson pickups.

I'm looking into Zhanbuckers so thanks for the demo..

Gibson SG's are 1 of my fav Guitars, tho I prefer the older models like the 1966 model. Still that guitar would be sweet to own! =]

All one really needs are Telecaster (no fancy EMG stuff) and SG with a couple of P90s. I am not sure about the AC30, i'd rather go for JMP50. I had one, but it got electricuted, along with '72 tele.

Great! Nice to see what the SG sounds like with P90s. I prefer humbuckers in an sg, but p90s in a les paul.

I know I'm comparing the bridge and neck,apples and oranges I know,but I swear that alnico 2 kills the alnico 5 in complexity.

The alnico 2 has more depth,character and sounds spongier.

Hey "spentonmediocrrity". I would definatly say that the A2 is a warmer "woodier" type of tone while the A5 is a bit more scooped but definatly more top end. I think we all hear things a little differently and have different ways of describing tonal characteristics. Because of that, its nice to have these videos so that each can hear the tones instead of having to interpret them. Hope you liked the clip :)

it's a gibson les paul doublecut

gmlasam you need to watch more of the vid before leaving a comment.

Thanks for this vid. This is the exact guitar/amp combo I have been thinking of getting, but it's hard to demo it at a decent volume in a shop. I'm sold now.

Anyone need a SF Vibrolux?? LOL

[gmlasam]

The title of this video is misleading. That guitar is not a an SG is a Les Paul double cut away.

hey dude, from TW?

[TooAbsurd]

I think they sound a bit muddy on higher gain settings, but hot damn they sound great clean.

[P90Advocate]

Hey TooAbsurd-thanks for the comment! I want to make a bit of a qualification on the recording and let you know that the mic was just my Mac Book and it was definatly clipping. The amp was on like a 1/4 of the volume and the treble was on a 1/4 and bass was off. A bit more clarity could have been had by turning the treble up a bit. I still think they are great pickups and have no plans to ever change them. Thanks again :) !
