Hello, everyone!
I'm new to the forum but even just reading the existing threads I've had so many answers to my questions and I thank you! But I'm opening this thread and writing to you because I need some great advice on my new Seymour Duncan pickups!
I am restoring my very first guitar, a late 80's Ibanez RG 550.
I got to try the PATB-1 at the bridge and loved it so it was my very first choice! After that I decided I wanted to experiment by pairing it with a Sentient (6-string) for the neck because it seemed to me to be very defined both in the cleans and when the solos get very interesting (I play mainly hard rock/progressive metal so as a pickup it lends itself).
I haven't fitted the Sentient yet because I'd like to take it all apart once to redo the whole wiring for the guitar (it really needs it). So the point now is just the middle pickup!
Do you have any advice? Very often I also play very funk rhythms in my songs (Extreme's influence is part of me!) but for that specific genre I have at my disposal another guitar a bit more adequate, a Washburn. Any advice on what to put in the middle?
Would a Cool Rails be an appropriate choice? Or maybe a Custom Staggered? I am very, very undecided!
I would obviously use a 5-way switch so that I can mix all the different pickups together properly.
Thanks in advance to everyone for the response!
Regards,
Simone
