What pickup for semi hollow body guitars?

[thefyn]

I was thinking of picking up a cheap semi hollow body because I am pretty sure my modded rat/jcm800 would sound stinkingly awesome.

I want a nice loose bloomy sizzle like:

I have my SD P-Rails ready when I get a hollowbody.

I like the Duncan Alnico Pro II's a lot, especially in a semi. I'd prolly go for that and a 59

SD Seth Lovers IMHO.

I put a set of BG Lizards into my Artcore AM 93. Love they way they sound in it.

I had a pair of those...Really good all rounders.

Doesn't the AM93 come with Custom 58's? Those are pretty much the only ibby pickup I've ever played that I liked.

It came with the Super Custom 58s. I really liked the sound of them but they were just so hot and I wanted a bit of a more mellow sound.

Ahh. Makes sense. I only played a solid body guitar with Custom 58s. They might be scream a bit more in a semi hollow. That said, I've been strongly considering getting rid of my 7 string and picking up an AM93.

I can't say enough good things about my AM93. It instantly became my #1. My American Std Strat and Gibson 60s Tribute Les Paul have collected nothing but dust lately. I am still surprised how much I like compared to my other guitars.

I have a DiMarzio SD in my Epi Dot, and I love it. Feedback can be an issue if you're too close to the amp (so not the best choice for tight stages if you play with lots of gain), but it sounds awesome.

Well, you ain't helping my GAS.

Seth Lovers SD are the best I've ever heard in a hollowbody. SO sweet

Would it help to say they are not that expensive?

I have gfs mean 90 in the neck of my dot and a VEH in the bridge. It sounds great.

[Elessar [Sly]]

Bare knuckle Mule set

[Marc G]

I left the stock Gibson 490/498 set in my ES-137 and they sound great, though I would imagine pickups that aren't too mid focused might e best for a semi to avoid feedback issues.

[Elessar [Sly]]

You could get some Fralins put in there.

The answer is either Filtertrons(stock gretsch or TV Jones), Mean 90's or Surf 90's. Any other answer is wrong.
