    On MF the Epi V is made of Alder which would explain the brightness.

        thoughts on a Jazz/JB combo for the V?

          I've already got the seth although it hasn't been installed in my guitar yet. I am going to put the Fralin in the neck too. I'll let everyone know when I get it all together.

            When I think of a Flying V I immediatley see Albert King or Lonnie Mack. Both of those guys always got a ballsy but clean tone from the V. Both play guitars from the late 50's early 60's which means the guitars have PAF PUPS. If that is the sound you want I would say either the Seths or the Ants are the way to go. I think these two models come as close to a real PAF as you can get!

              I concur with the No CC bridge people. I like it in my paul, but maybe not in a bright guitar.
