It's supposed to be exclusive to the guitar, but you think it would be too much to ask for shop floor custom?

Looks like it's a double screw BW with hexes installed.

I wonder how different it sounds.

Depends on who you talk to.

Re: Blackened Black Winter?

Hexes usually = sharper attack, less bass, tighter

Double screw usually = warmer, less stiff

Combine those two and it's probably not all that different.

i wished they kept the Nazgul Sentient combo in that guitar.

Re: Blackened Black Winter?

In theory the difference would be comparable to the difference between the full shred and the custom 5 right?

Re: Blackened Black Winter?

Allegedly, yes.

Re: Blackened Black Winter?

Would a pickup with hexes in the three lower strings and screws in the rest be doable?

Re: Blackened Black Winter?

yup. these hex polepieces are interchangeable with regular screws.

Re: Blackened Black Winter?

Wow, the Black Winter is plenty bright as it is. It would be interesting to hear a comparison, though.

Re: Blackened Black Winter?

That would be cool. Fine tuning the sound of your pickup with either hex or normal screws, and then their height...

Re: Blackened Black Winter?

Being double screw, even though hexes, it's probably not brighter than the original.
