Just installed Suhr Aldrich pickups in my Les Paul Standard

[Econ]

Wow!!!!!! What a difference!!!! My Friedman BE 100 now sounds incredible. I had Suhr Aldrich pickups on alder and basswood bodied guitars, but never in mahogany bodied guitars. I think I'm going to get me a couple more Les Pauls. Maybe a Les Paul Axcess. Time to put some gear in the classifieds section.

Didn't like the Aldrich at first but it grew on me.
The Duncan custom custom is similar but not as balanced, worth checking out as well.

That's what I actually liked about the Aldrich in my Les Paul. It is a hot pickup, but well balanced.

I found the Custom Custom to have flabby bass and a very very smooth high; Aldrich are hotter and defined IMHO. Both have a sweet high end.

I have an Aldrich set in my lp standard LE, great pickups and they split well too. The neck does great under high gain.

They seem as though they were designed for an LP. They have just the right amount of everything.

I have an Aldrich in the bridge of my Axcess. I really dig it.

I was thinking on using the Aldrich's on my Ibanez s540 with body made out of mahogany and neck of Maple with rosewood fingerboard. anyone with some sort experience think this a good Idea?

I've got two Stratocasters with Aldrich pickups in them and they kill.

Great all around pickup.

I think it is true for Mahogony guitars. I tried a bunch in my 67 reissue fying V before I overwhelmingly prefered the Aldrich to anything I've tried in it. Almost everything I tried in that thing sounded like a muddy mess. Put the Aldrich in and it sounds great.

Oh, and I'm a pretty big fan of the JB, and it sounded OK in the V but the Aldrich sounded way better. And it cleaned up better with the volume knob.

Yea, I've got one in my V also.

I wonder how it would do in an SG?

I have been thinking on giving then a shot too. I hear on you on mahogany, I've experimented with a bunch of different body woods and my favorite is mahogany capped with maple. I have 3 super strats and 3 Lp's with one LP all mahogany. Still something special going on with a Les Paul into a tube head. I never cared for LP's up until 2012 when I bought one out of the blue...now I have 3 and 20+ other guitars get little love

I keep hearing the love for the Aldrich pups.

So...

Is there a good YT vid that really showcases the difference over std blah buckers?

I have a 2012 LP that just needs new pups. It can't hang with the old LP with Motor City's.

I had an Aldrich in my Les Paul years ago when I used to gig. Perfect pickup with that guitar.

There are a a few that compare the Aldrich with the JB if that helps.
