Re: HHx

I'm gonna start working on expanding my middle humbucker guitar collection sooner or later. What types of humbuckers do you find work the best in the middle? I like P90s in the middle, but I'm trying to look at humbuckers I'm that spot now.

Re: HHx

Cool. Yeah a mid hb is a great sound. I'd say anything would work except for hot bridge humbuckers which I think are unnecessary. For me, something a little hotter than vintage is working well with a little more punch but not too hot to either be compressed or out of balance with the bridge. My Phat Cat bridge is 8.5k and my Distortion neck/Full Shred neck is 9.6k. So I'd say medium to low medium output works great. Regular vintage output will work fine also probably if you're balancing with a medium output in the bridge. Full hot output bridge pups are unnecessary I think.

Re: HHx

I like the look, but it would get in the way of the pick and my hybrid picking fingers. On my Strat, I lower the middle pickup flush with the pickguard, so it is just a weird personal quirk.

Re: HHx

But it's missing a neck pickup . . . the best sound that a guitar makes!

This is true for me, too- I have no use for a guitar without a neck pickup. But I get it that many never touch the neck pickup, and like the middle more.

I play traditional jazz so I have a neck humbucker only strat with an A5 59 with A2 spacers. Playing a neck humbucker always puts me in jazz mode and I try to distinguish my jazz playing from my rock playing. Plus I don't like the giant contrast between neck and bridge so I don't like HH. I've tried other pickup combos and didn't like them that much SSS, HSS, HSH, HS. I think I've had it with singles because true scs are way too bluesy for me and overdoes it since I'm always noodling blues. I don't like single coil size humbuckers cuz the sound quality isn't good enough for me. I had an HHH pickguard but that's way too much shet goin on. So HHx is the best pickup combo for me where the ax has 1 personality but can do several styles well... unless I'm playing trad jazz and I pick up my neck hb ax dialed for jazz.

Re: HHx

If you play that Distortion/JB in series do yourself a favor and get strap locks or at the very least make sure you have your thumb wrapped around that low-E.
