Re: New hybrids I made this weekend
Invader/Custom. Built the one with the 'vader caps for Lats, it's an A8, mine has a big ceramic. It's ****ing great! I didn't try his, I'll let him review it, but I really like mine.
Mine displaced a Warpig for convenience sake, but might just take it's place permanently. It's sensitive to height adjustments, mounted lower it has that pronounced, open, chorusy hybrid sound, not near as hot feeling as you'd think. Mounted higher it gets tighter and less of the hybrid-ness is as apparent, sounds more like a metal pickup. What's really cool is that lead sounds and cleaner sounds are nicer sounding and more "sparkly" than either the big ceramic Custom or the Invader, regardless of height. It's really balanced, not overly bright or dark. I'm smitten with it right now.

Re: New hybrids I made this weekend
Yeah, I need to figure something out for recording, I just need it to be cheeep. I've got an old ass ardvarck sound card, but I can't find the driver, I have no mics, and the only software I've got is super old Cubase, I mean like 2002 old, haha. I could maybe do something with my iphone like F73 did, but I don't know how much that would show anyone (other than the awesomeness that is Izzo on the gits).

Re: New hybrids I made this weekend
Nah, I don't really like it better, but I like it in that guitar for what I'm doing with it. If I was doing straight up death metal and doom with it, there's pretty much nothing better than the pig. The hybrid has some ironic similarities to my BK's in general, the height sensitivity, overall presence without being harsh, etc. There must be a correlation between "scatterwinding" and offset coils. It's got a little bit of that 500T/SuperD buzz-grit, which I'm sure is coming from the Custom (it has a lot of it with the big ceramic). That can be looked at as a good thing or a bad thing, I dig it myself.
I am keeping it in that guitar though, kind of a happy accident, it's the sound I didn't know I was looking for. I should have tried out Lats' pickup, I'm curious how it sounds with an A8 and the caps, but I was sick of testing stuff out as I also made a 498T/Deto. I've still gotta reverse leads, the coils are OOP and figure out what mags to put in that one.

Re: New hybrids I made this weekend
Did you keep the additional side magnets from the Invader in either pickup? I have really been digging a JB/Custom Hybrid in one axe lately... A5 magnet... have been tempted to put a Ceramic in there to make it a little more aggressive.
With the A5 it retains the JB's great vocal quality without sounding too one-notey... really nails the Dokken Under Lock & Key tone even though Lynch primarily used a Distortion during that period.GMP Guitars RULE!

Re: New hybrids I made this weekend
king when you speak of the warpig, is that the bridge with the ceramic or A5 magnet? cause they give both options for bridge.
i wonder which one is better, or they both could have there purpose id suppose.
