65 Mustang Re-issue Pickup Replacements

Hi All.

Sorry to ask this question as i have no doubt it will have been covered on many occasions.

I have recently bought this guitar and absolutely love it to pieces.

The stock pups dont work for me, and i want to replace them with something that would give me a heavier sound. I play mostly ac/dc, nirvana style, and i want to know what is out there for me to get this sound.

I have heard that Seymour Duncan Little 59's are good, but then other people say these arnt right. Then i read somewhere about hotrails or antiquity, but there is so much out there it has overflowed my brain.

Bottom line is, what can i put in the neck and bridge to get a rock / heavy sound.

cheers for any advice forthcoming

for heavy stuff I would get Seymour Duncans, the little 59 is good as are the hotrails that you mentioned. I use a Jb Jr and I love the sound, but it's all about what You like so just watch some youtube videos read some reviews. also take a look at Lace PU's I've heard they are good (even tho I have never used them they are worth looking into).

Thanks for the help here foxylady.

I've had a look on youtube and i really cant make my mind up between the little 59 and the Jb Jr ☹

at least i've brought it down to deciding over these two now.

cheers for your time on this.

No problem, Id go the Little 59.

after much more investigation, im now 99% sure im going down the route of the lace sensor pickups (red and blue) as it seems quite common the more i search for it. it also seems that these will fit straight into a re-issued mustang without a hitch.

can anybody (who has this set up) tell me what the sound is like please ?

cheers
