I found  a sound clip of somebody using GFS pickups on You tube, and it was the sound I was looking for.  Here is the link, great tone - and the pickup is in a 51!:<br><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEUfJc6b-lU">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEUfJc6b-lU</a><br><br><br>Here is a link to GFS, which has really good prices on replacement pickups.  I used Hot Liverpool pickups, but the others are also good:<br><br><a href="http://store.guitarfetish.com/livialhuch.html">http://store.guitarfetish.com/livialhuch.html</a><br><br><br>I liked these so much, that I bought their Memphis pickups and put them in my Epi Sheraton semi hollow and got pretty close to a Rickenbacker jangly sound.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Classic rock guy here too, and I also love it.  BUT, I did change the pickups.

What did you change to and why? Could you give any more details please? I've been eyeing off an SG Epi in the local shop, but I've also been considering just buying better pickups for another guitar that I already have. It's comfortable to play, but just has two very basic el cheapo humbuckers plus one single coil in the middle. I'd like to upgrade, but I don't know enough about pickups to make an informed choice. I don't imagine they'd be that hard to fit new ones as the spaces are already there.<br><br>Can anybody recommend good pickups to upgrade to please?<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Chris]]></content:encoded>

However, a big majority of the reviewers are using the guitar for metal.  That's not really my style - I'm more of a blues and classic rock guy.  <br><br>Is the G-400 good for music other than metal?]]></content:encoded>
