If I'm a WCR Godwood fan...

[djpatb]

...what other bridge PU's might I enjoy? Something that is on the hot end of the PAF range, thick, fat, good harmonics, etc. Thanks!

Zhangbucker Duanebucker or Brownbucker.
My Duanebucker has more beef than a Godwood.

Tom Holmes. Stephens Design VL II.

I'm the opposite, recently picked up a 36th Anni bridge that I really like and am still spending time with the AT-1, which I just dropped in. I admit, the Godwoods interest me since they get a lot of buzz here, but I have also been advised that they are not "better" than the above.

Guitarforce Rebelfire or Guitarforce Force 59

Guitarforce Rebelfire or Guitarforce Force 59

The issue I have with boutique humbucker threads is that they start to sound like a high school metal band's search for a cool name. :D

You just nailed most of the other PU's I'm been thinking about trying!

BB Pro... Seriously, maybe they differ one from another, but I had a BB Pro that worked better on my LP than goodwood

I have the Goodwood in the bridge of my main Les Paul and the Wolfetone Timbre Wolfe in the bridge of another. The Wolfetone is a bit hotter but still nice. The Wolfetone Marshallhead is every bit as nice as the WCR and somewhat similar. Those are my two favorite humbuckers.

I have Goodwoods in one of my LPs and Marshallheads in the other. The WCRs are a little smoother but the Wolfetones have an awesome grind to them. Both are similar in output and characteristics. the Marshallheads will get you closer to the brown sound.

[Eric Pykala]

Another huge Marshallhead fan.

I've tried a ton of pickups this past year and the Guitarforce rebelfire was the closest to the Godwood. Really close but maybe a tad brighter.

[RockStarNick]

Very under the radar, but the Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Brobucker is 10K, aged alnico 5, and incredible.

This may have been discussed elsewhere and I missed it; why was the Goodwood/Godwood name change?

IIR, it was a product change ... the think the builder quote was "more of everything".
