Van Zandt pickups

[Twisteramps]

My PRS I recently acquired has a VZ pickup in the neck, stock HFS PRS pickup in the bridge. The VZ pickup sounds awesome - very fat, can get pinch harmonics and has a nice top end too. Not muddy sounding. Anyone else use these? I'm thinking about tossing the HFS and VZ'ing the bridge too.

Re: Van Zandt pickups

I use VanZandt singles in all my guitars that have single coil routes. Blues model for neck/middle, rock model for bridge. They always make the guitars I put them in sound better. I haven't tried the hums before, but maybe I should?

I have vintage plus single coils in the neck/middle of a gutted Model 6. It sounds so good, I'm going to jerry rig another vintage plus in the bridge humbucker route and put in a five way switch. It'll look like shit, but who cares!
