Epiphone vs Entwistle Darkstars - Comparison of PUPs for Maggie

Описание: Comparison between non-potted Epiphone chinese pickups and Entwistle DARKSTARS on Maggie with identical settings through the Boss GT100.

I couldn't hold off and had to install the new pickups tonight and actually they are very nice. The microphonic squeal has gone and the Entwistles are much further from the strings as they are over-wound 16K PUPs. However for my money the Epiphones are brighter and a more classic tone.

To be fair there is not a huge amount of difference to the unobservant ear but it was worth swapping them out to resolve the noise issues.

I shielded all of the cavities while swapping out the PUPs and most of the buzz has gone although there still seems to be a ground loop hum when I turn the volume pot down. Anyone got any ideas what I have overlooked here?

Cheers
CGS
