Has anyone compared these 2 bridge pickups in a Les Paul? Thoughts?
Thanks in advance

I haven't had an Aldrich in quite awhile, but I do currently have a Godwood in a LP. The Aldrich is quite a bit hotter with a lot more hair around it. If I remember correctly, it's a big more compressed with a more pronounced high end. Both are great pickups. I actually prefer the Detroiter to the Godwood. Similar output with more attitude and aggression.

I had a set of Aldrichs in my LP for about a year. In the end they seemed too compressed and somewhat stiff to me. Next were the Godwoods. They have been in for least 3 years and are not coming out. They are much more dynamic to my ears, clean up better but still cover a lot of ground even though they are not as hot as the Aldrich.

Excellent stuff...thanks guys!
SFW: great job with the vids. Sounds like the amp might be set with less gain on the Aldrich clip? IMO the Godwood sounds killer, but again it's tough to tell not hearing them in the room. Which do you prefer and why?

The Aldrick video starts off in the Blue channel and I move to the Red channel later on. The Godwood starts right off on the red channel.

Ok...that makes sense. I watched the full video and noticed when the red channel kicked in. Which pickup did you like more? They both sound great...

I had a RY set in a previous LP and it did sound killer. Maybe I should just go that route again

I think between the two I would buy the Godwood again. The Aldrich wasn't a bad pickup by any means... I just didn't get on with it. I'm currently rocking the Tremonti bridge pup and have no plans to remove it.
