Pickups in Tribute Legacy HB?

Post by nascarbean_97 »

So, I am concerned about the bridge pickup in this model. Is it a bright sounding pickup like a duncan JB? Or is it dark? Or does it have good mids...? Anybody got one that could describe it?

Not overly bright and not dark. I still think it is the best humbucker I've played for good classic rock crunch. I never played any really heavy stuff on it. I keep saying I will eventually build a guitar with that pickup in the bridge and the neck pickup from an asat special. Love that pickup.
