Got the Suhr Aldrich pickups in and installed in my LP standard. I also replaced thed pots, the 2 tone pots became push pull pots so I could coil split the pickups. The stock volume pots were 300k, the stock tone pots were 500k. I put all 500k pots in.
So far I really like the Aldrich pickups, they are clear, yet full. I don't hear the tendency for harsh treble like I got from the stock Burstbucker pro #1 and #2. The clean was a little worse on the neck Aldrich pickup, but still good. The neck Aldrich could be a touch warmer, but sounds good. It lacks some of the Chime that the BBpro1 had. It does take gain a lot better. So overall its an improvement. The Bridge is a huge improvement, much more full and beefy and versatile. It is smoother than the BBQ in my other Les Pauls. The split of both pickups is not that great. The bridge splits alot better than the neck, its a nice option to have.
So far I am really happy with the change...
