Topic: SD/Bonamassa Pickups...first run

I have been thinking about moving my SDJB pickups from the Magellan line into my D'Angelico semi-hollow body guitar and and getting a set of Principle Skinner for my '58 reissue.   

Has anyone tried the Magellan pickups in a semi hollow body?...what did you think...if not, those who ahve them, do you think it will be a good fit.

I get some great jazzy tones put of them and thinking they would open up my D'Angelico big time..

Your opinions and thoughts are greatly appreciated!!!

Hi well that's a question that is only answered by trying. I have found that the pickup needs to be tried to decide. So many variables the guitar howcits made, the pots , the caps etc. I have had 4 of the same les Paul's, JB gold tops original 300, tried the same pickup in each and they all sounded different.
Not an answer but reality
Good luck cheers Ron
