pickups for a concord 3

Watching a concord 3 that is bereft of pickups. On the slim chance that I get it - what would be a suitable pickup set to go in? Nowt stupid expensive, mind.. I guess the actual Westy pickups are rare as dinosaur poo, and priced accordingly. .?

Good luck.

that's a concord ii without all the brass n gold hardware mind.
another case of unpleasant grain/woods under a painted finish, has a certain charm though.

I have a set (or 3!) of concord II pickups which I could probably part with, though I don't have a C-III set I'm afraid.

If I snag the guitar, we'll have to talk..

I also have a brand new set of Artec single coils, ceramic but nice and warm...never installed...
OR....if you want to spend BIG money..I have a set of Burns'  Noiseless Rez o Matic ENR for sale....again, never installed.
win that first.

The gold and platinum grade are very decent pups for the price.

Concord I+II pickups are err...not too clever, crap! Just cheap ceramic jobbies.

I've actually got a set of Ironstone's in a guitar I cobbled together. They weren't the gold or platinum.. Silver, maybe..

I have the platinum set in a concord II, sound great if a little low on volume, the originals were much louder however, I wouldn't go so far as to say they're "crap!" just a bit flat/dead sounding, but a little chorus and they liven up just fine...

Just out of interest here's an old shot of a Concord III's pups.

is that a version 1? ie GS450 pups?

Here's the whole guitar.

oh ok yeh, that one

Now in someone else's arms...       Plenty Strat's though...

Where did this guitar end up????

Dunno... Not here...

I was tempted to have a punt but after seeing your post Bob, I took a step back. I'm sure it shall re-emerge at some point
