In today's economy it's essential to get the most you can for your buying dollar. So there's no reason to over pay for Black Alnico when there are 1000's of them for sale on eBay. Plus, eBay is one of the biggest and most trusted online shopping sites in the entire world. This site is authorized by eBay to help you find the Black Alnico you are searching for and show them to you. If you don't see the Black Alnico you are hunting for below. Use the search feature on the right to find the style you want.
I had just bought a Les Paul speical II, and I want different pickups. I love the Zebra alnico's. I dont want anything to pricey, I found (didn't buy yet) a couple of different Humbuckers, that a guy recommended very much. It is a black Special II and I dont like gold with black, but please tell me what ever you can. Thanks!
Well, I have a few ideas I can throw your way.
First off, my personal experience - I love me some Seymour Duncans, especially for this type of guitar, to get that nice fat round tone. While I personally think the JB is a little too trebly, I like the Alternative 8 in the bridge and Alnico II Pro's in the neck. Its a great combination with lots of Alnico chime, a Slash-y bell-like lead tone in the neck, and plenty of chunk-with-clarity in the bridge. I use a 1meg pot for the Alt8 to help keep treble, and its worked pretty well for me.
Gibson pickups rule - more likely to be ceramic than Alnico, but in general going to have more treble and a more "precise" or "clear" sound than the Seymour Duncan models I've already listed. The 500T and Dirty Fingers are the two most popular models I've heard of, and two of the most aggressive pups that Gibson makes, so ideal for a good rocking sound in the bridge. For the neck, I imagine the 490T is just about ideal if you want the more modern sound (more treble) or a '57 classic for a warmer, more "classic" sound.
DiMarzio, Rockfield... there are many pup brands out there, and many models can work for you, it just really depends on the sound you want.
I've also put a link at the bottom for GFS pickups. These are cheap pickups, but not low-quality. There are a ton of reviews on harmony-central - browse through to see if any of them match the tone you want. For the price, you could be 2-3 sets for the same price as a Dirty Fingers!
