I'm partial to Bill Lawrence pickups. I have an XR-16 on the E9 of my Carter D10 with a switch mounted under the guitar to switch it from humbucker to single coil. I have a 710 on my C6 neck. I've never tried one, but many love the 705.

| Telonics 206 is another humbucker worthy of consideration |

Barry: You didn't say, and no one asked.
What pickup do you have in there now?
and.....
What are you looking to change in terms of tone, noise, etc? |

What Dave G said (Telonics), except I use the Model 84 version, with each string adjustable for both chime and growl...if you don't know what you want, you can just twirl the adjusting slugs till it nouns right...but be prepared to spend a while doing that, bit by bit.

Bill Ferguson I think uses XR16 in his Carter, and he always sounds good. I have XR16 in my Zum D10 and love them.

A different pickup may give you a very slight change. On the other hand (depending on what amp you're using now), a different amp might give you a whole new world of sounds and EFX.  |
