    Default SD PUs for an LP Classic

    I've decided to change the stock PUs in my LP Classic and was hoping to get some input from some more experienced people. The reason that I'm having such a hard figuring out which PUs is because I play a lot of different types of music. I play some Beatles, Black Sabbath, Metallica and just about anything in between, new and old. I've also started learning to play some blues. So, the question is which PUs could handle such a wide range of musical styles???

    Thanks

    You really can't go wrong with '59s or Seth Lovers for vintage tone . . . and I think that they're heavy enough to play Black Sabbath/Metallica. How does your guitar sound right now though, and what do you want out of your new pickups? If you know what kind of sounds you want it'll be a lot easier to find the pickups for you . ..

    I agree with the '59 & Seth suggestion. They both do vintage and classic rock very well. Another option is the APS2 like Slash uses. You could consider the CC too. People will probably suggest the PG, but I'm not a big fan of those.
