I have a LP Traditional Pro, 2013, and it came with a BB3, that I felt was very shrill and ice picky no matter the amp, particularly on the treble strings. The wound strings are fine. I play modded Marshalls/Splawns. I replaced it with the Duncan Whole Lotta and I'm now experiencing the same thing. I LOVE the guitar and the way it plays, but I've struggled with this off and on. ...I don't remember the WLH always being like this so I'm wondering if it's something else.
I play 11-56's in EFlat and i top wrap the strings. None are touching the bridge.
Before I throw out the guitar, I want to try some things... I've done the following:
1) Played with pup height. I have it raised, but the treble string poles sunk down.
2) Tone knob barely helps, and i feel it loses clarity.
3) I know how to dial an amp, so please don't go there...
I have read that older strings can get 'shrill' and you need to change them. ...I've had these Elixir's on the LP for a while now. So I will see if that helps, but I can't believe it's just old strings...
Any pup advice or changes are appreciated. It might just be my ears, but...
Thanks!
