I am having GMW do a Michael Schenker V replica:

Any suggestions for pickup combinations?

Thanks

Re: Schenker Fans

I've been wanting to do that finish to my Gothic V, how much are they charging? (if you don't mind me asking)
As for pickups, I like the SD Custom 5 + Pearly Gates. The stock Gibson pickups sound muddy to me. Of course, you'll get dozens of varying opinions! (I seem to be changing pickups every couple of weeks)

I would go with a Dimarzio Air Norton in the neck and a Dimarzio Fred in the bridge. A little on the nose I know but it's got that Gibson sound only more ballsy like you need for Schenker.

Whatever Michael used is what I would put in. I am sure it is easy to find out.
I would go with vintage creme Dimarzio Super Distortions. Classics for a classic!

I think he uses a Seymour Duncan 59 and a Custom...I can't remember but I know where to find out.

I thought he used a Gibson 500T in the bridge?

EMG Duncan and Schaller are what he said he liked back in 88.
Never said what models though. [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]
