Anyone tried this? If so, how does it sound. I have a DD in my SG. I love it but its a big pickgaurd SG and the pickup doesn't sit parallel with the strings. To compensate I raise the pole pieces up to try to get them at about the same distance from the strings as the slug side. I just thought that maybe invader pole pieces would look a lot better.

Re: Distortion with Invader pole pieces
They won't fit, the screws are larger. You can try going to a hardware store and take a screw (or the pickup) to see if you can find one that'd fit.

I don't know if this answers your question, but I thought the Duncan Designed Detonator was a Distortion wind with Invader polepieces.

Re: Distortion with Invader pole pieces
You have to remove the slugs on a distortion. Then it will fit. I got great results using hex threaded inserts. Bit more conventional esthetics than thos3 humongous invader poles. Imho those poles work best with that triple mag setup of the invader.

Re: Distortion with Invader pole pieces
FWIW because the Invader pole pieces are thick all the way down, (10-32 thread?) they need slug bobbins, or for the screw bobbin to be drilled out and the spacer removed. An easier conversion would be to start with an Invader, and remove the two extra side magnets. But even then it is best to insert a humbucker spacer tipped on its side where the side magnets used to be.
