    pickups on es2v

    After a bit of deliberation ive decided for my 2nd build to do an es 2v.building an rc1 as well would have made for a very unhappy wife.
    Before i order the guitar i wanted work out what hardware im going to ad to the guitar.
    Having used dirty fingers p/u on my es1tl which have an awsome dirty sound i was wanting to use something different, no use having all my guitars sounding the same.
    I wanted to get a deep warm clean sound out of the neck p/u but dont know which pickups will give this guitar such a sound.
    The bridge p/u I'm not sure yet, any help would be greatly appreciated

    Ive been searching the web and quite like the sound of the seymore duncan antiquity, plus the would look great with a clear finish on the maple veneer

    G'day mate. I'm starting an ES kit and thinking of going with some P90's and playing around with the pot and cap values to get the tone just right
