I recently discovered that the SD Custom Shop makes a proper JB/59 hybrid bridge pickup for certain ESP "Exhibition" series guitars, which are beautiful, but terribly expensive.
Has anyone here ever made or tried a JB/59 hybrid? I tried searching, but there wasn't really anything about it.
Videos of the ESP guitars sound pretty awesome! The JB/59 hybrid seems to have a tight response with plenty of sparkle up top and the right amount of sizzle/rudeness/attitude (whatever you want to call it, ha ha!)
I'm especially curious how the JB/59 compares to the 59/Custom hybrid. I know asking about such an uncommon pickup like this is a total shot in the dark.
Several other hybrid discussion threads suggested that the JB and 59 were simply "too far apart" to make a decent hybrid, but, after hearing these clips, I'm thinking peeps be crazy...
