Hi everyone,
I recently fell in love with the American vintage II 63 Tele but am way too poor so thought I’d try sprucing up my old Ibanez SA160 to console myself. Warning! I am a complete noob when it comes to mods.
The Ibanez is an HSS w mahogany body and maple neck w rosewood fingerboard. The components and pups are pretty ****e though.
I dable in blues, rock and pop and much prefer warmer/smoother sounds.
I’ll change the 5-way selector and to 500k pots but am getting lost when it comes to pups. I’m pretty keen on p rails for the bridge in parallel (I won’t bother splitting) but am not sure what singles to go with.
Esp when it comes to the whole output, wind and polarity direction stuff. I’d be keen for any advice but I’m tossing up these options:
N: lil 59
M: lil 59
B: p-rails
N: custom staggered
M: custom staggered
B: p-rails
N: cool rails
M: vintage hot
B: p-rails
N: cool rails
M: cool rails
B: p-rails
Again, I’m a complete noob so any advice would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.
