Reading again this it reminds me of my experience with G&L jumbo MFD pickups, once in my Asat : I've never come along well with them, and that's exactly what they show, a wider dynamic range, a broader freq span , but definitely stiff pickups to play, I'd say even difficult, lot of volume but...

I can't live without my Ditto X2 I use it often with my band too, it's funny when they look at me wondering why my hands are not on the fretboard and still they hear the riff

I feel them different, I'd say more compressed in lack of a better definition, but I end up thinking it must be something about the thinner wire, not the output

Frog is my god

No no, where the pickup comes from, it seems mine :D

...that black tape reminds me the one and the way I used with my experiments with hybrids... where did you get it?

everytime I hear live a strat with EMG it always and instantly remind me of THAT 80s sound, it's like a time machine for my mind, that surgical in between position I've always (sorry) hated and I don't know why, every guy playng a guitar like that loves a ton of chorus over, it's a trademark

FWIW here it's very difficult to find stuff like that apart from Amazon , even small shops often rely on it or even Aliexpress, and Milano, where I live, is a 2M people city for example, online shop exists but they're very expensive, too much indeed

could you please post a picture of the bridge? I have a suspect

I read. Don't want to get in a rabbit hole, and this topic is a notorious one, years ago, when I had the opportunity, I spent days and days, I'd say months, using industrial level spectrum analyzers (not mine, I'll tell you in a ear, it was an off work personal research where I worked) testing...

material matters but not in audio range and not a the voltage range we use on guitar, given a selected value what we hear as differences are mostly component tolerances or, for pots for example, different tapers . I'm a shameless hifi snob but I definitely hate gurus claiming snake oil solutions...

I hate myself for selling my RV-7 back in the day...

me :D anyway, in my experience ceramics tend to sound 'stiffer', I don't know how to rephrase it in a different way, it's like my playing is easier with alnicos, not a rule but I've often noticed it

OT: I've always asked myself if a reverse headstock , with the lighter strings down, still needs the stringtrees , does anybody has one ?

I don't trust anymore chinese modern tubes, not reliable and I'm not even a touring guitarist , For power tubes I stick to JJ and EHX, the sonic differences are there but not so huge , it's not Hi FI critical listening For preamp signal tubes, using combo amps only today, more than brands I just...
