Arbor les paul

[Frolid]

Hey guys, I got an arbor les paul, I believe it is a standard one with a cherry sunburst finish, agathis body, nato neck, and stock electronics.

So i ask you, what pickups should i get for 'em? because on http://www.dimarzio.com, it doesn't have a pickup picker for agathis body

EMG 85/60. I haven't had many agathis guitars but they seem to be sort of finicky. EMG seem less prone to changing tone dramatically in different wood, and that combo is a solid one, a bit warmer than the 81.

Hmm, maybe Blackouts?

 

[Frolid]

what would recommendations be for passive pups in that guitar?

Well, I think a lot of the agathis bodied guitars come from factories with duncan designed JB/Jazz combos in them. That combo is never a bad choice, but it depends on what music you play and your tendencies.

You might email Wade at Motor City Pickups and see what he says.

And thanks! I might just do that.

Any other passive recommendations anyone? Agathis body, and playing metal.

Any ideas ?
