Pickup for AC/DC toans

Agree with the above. I think most any medium gain PAF would do. There was a Gibson Angus Young Signature set, but not sure if they still make them.

Gibson 57 Classic set or the 500T set.

I would think that snap, brightness and clarity of a Duncan Custom may work....as long as the amp was undergained.

i think we all kind of generalize ac/dc tone, but Dirty Deeds dosent really sound much at all like back in black, and neither really sound like razors edge for instance.

I had one in a 61 sg standard that was badass

I really love the Powerage tones but love all the different tones. Also the Mesa rig on Live is amazing

I have a Harley Benton SG that nails the older stuff. Not sure what pickups are in it. It through the Quickrod with the gain dialed back and the volume cranked sounds really close to the HTH tone.

I mean, you can't get much better info than right from the horse's mouth in that video... custom SD pickups wound to 7.7/7.8 with 9-gauge strings. But I doubt he was using those 40 years ago... Really, any PAF-style should get the job done. The difference between pickups isn't all that huge.

Personally, my favorite low-output classic rock pickups are Lindy Fralin. For a hotter wind, I like the BKP Black Dog.

I will tell you this . If you want the nastier Let there Be Rock try a JB into your SL . Call me crazy but it works . I have a 78 2203 though I’ll add .
