Hey guys, new here but I just picked up a Blacktop and I'm thinking of making some changes to it. First I'm planning on swapping out the pickups for Seymour Duncans, the Jazz model neck/JB model bridge. any one have any experience with that pairing?
also I was thinking about swapping out the bridge from its stock model to a Gotoh Humbucker bridge (http://www.warmoth.com/Gotoh-Humbucker- ... 4C709.aspx). Does anyone know how that would affect the tone or if there's any real difference between the two?
thanks

I'd use it stock for a couple of weeks mate because those stock pickups are pretty damn good.

i agree they are good pickups......no the bridge may not line up with the string holes and mounting screws. Try it out and let us know
