Thoughts on an H2+ replacement option
Hey, I would describe myself as having an on-again, off-again relationship w/ my H2+ that I've had for ~20 yrs. Some days I love what it brings to the table on clean tones and when split, but there's also this "thickness" and maybe a bit of a dark/harshness w/ this pickup that rubs me the wrong way sometimes w/ gain/distortion. I should mention that I do like it better w/ certain amps than others. Anyway, I still *love* the sound of the split SA1's in this pickguard and I'm debating swapping the H2+ w/ either an HF2 or maybe an H2. I've been looking at the EQ numbers on the site and still scratching my head.
I do have an HC1+ in a different guitar and really enjoy it, but I can't find much about how these balance w/ the SAs. I suspect either pickup would sound "new" to my ear for a while and would solve the immediate problem. I'm leaning towards the HF2, but I'm curious what others think as these seem to usually be paired w/ the SCs now. .....am I over thinking this? (I suspect I am)
Cheers,
Ben
