Dimarzio and Duncan together

Had this Santana SE for a few weeks now. For me, I’m digging the feel and vibe of it. Master vol master tone, no splitting or anything.

I have 2 other SEs and left the stock pickups in, but there was just a harshness from these stock santanas that started getting to me.

so I put a super distortion in the bridge, and a Duncan 59 in the neck. This is now my 2nd guitar with that pairing and I like the way they work together. The super D is fat and full sounding. I set the amp up so it’s just right. Then when I flip to the 59 neck it is smooth and bassy, great for that type of neck vibe. Like I can flip from ace’s Alive 1 sound to a Sweet Child kind of vibe at the flick of a switch.

for anyone interested, I used the appropriate hot and ground on each pickup, and there are no problems or mismatches of phase or polarity.
