Tornade MS Pickups

Winding, rewiring and installation by Marc of Tornade MS. What can I say?.... A 58 Les Paul VOS that finally sounds like it should...:) In terms of use, I've had the opportunity to play in studio with it and you can really tell the change. The sound is open, the low-mids, the highs, everything is well-defined. The difference is especially glaring when you play with the crunch of an amp, with a moderate attack for clean sounds and more attack to get a fat crunch that knocks you off your feet! In short, I sold my BurstBuck 1 & 2 on AF and I don't regret having sold them to switch to these pickups! Oh, and one last thing...you'll be able to hear all the wrong notes you play! Hahaha, that's the flip side of the coin, but it's up to you to improve your playing :)

I have a Mexican Tele tuned to G. I replaced the lousy original pickups with a Seymour Duncan Broadcaster and a Vintage 54 at the neck. I also had it rewired to make it all vintage. It was clearly better, but the sound of the bridge pickup was too rough. I then contacted Marc Aimar to ask him for advice and he recommended the Nocaster set together with a Broadcaster wiring. To be honest, it's like night and day!!! The bridge pickup sounds twangy and rough at the same time. The sound is full. The neck pickup is awesome, too, it sounds clear and super well-defined. And the blend allows me to get sounds ranging from very twangy (but with fullness) to smoother (but really punchy!!) sounds with the bridge pickup. I also have a Tornade MS '50s Strat and, honestly speaking, Marc is a genius!!! I don't regret my choice at all.
