At least the wood won't affect the differences. I Learn't this today after being led astray for all these years.
Thank you Ariarse.

Nice! LOVE the new version. Definitely an improvement.

And I'm STILL going with:

4
2
1
5
3

Gonna even go out on a limb and say 3 is an Epiphone pup or some other stock pup.

Before reading anymore comments, I listened to the new clips. I decided to change my list. So now its:
4
2
1

Funny that we have the same list.

I'm not gonna analyze the sounds or guess what the pickups are. Just listen, pick and wait for the announcement. This is already fun, Jolly. Thanks!

Me still ...

I was really hoping the pickup room know it all heavy hitters would join in on this.

I'm not surprised at all. They are afraid that they "won't nail it" and ruin their rep.

That's a shame - they don't get it. We are all different, we all have ears. Pick. So what if you are a long time anti-PG guy and pick a PG? Doesn't mean squat. Just means that Jolly's guitar, plus a PG, plus 11 Rack, plus Jolly's fingers did something you liked.

Doesn't mean you are wrong, doesn't mean the same stuff would actually work for you.

I could probably (and still might) pick a favorite for every phrase; Chords, leads, chug, riffs. I'll give the new ones a listen when I can.

This. That's kinda where I was going with what I listed. I see #5 isn't very popular, but I felt that it had the better performance in each phase, not necessarily the best in any of them individually. I'll listen to the new clips here in a minute.

Heh, keeping my order the same (5, 1, 2, 4, 3), and I'm even gonna take a stab at naming them knowing that my pickup rep is probably gonna be obliterated.

1. DD
2. JB
3. CC
4. Custom
5. No idea, I think I like it, Dimebucker?

1. Distortion
2. JB
3. Alt 8
4. Custom
5. Custom Custom

I have now given the cleans a good listen

For dirt, I'm sticking with my original order. However, for cleans:

4 - best all around clean
2 - nice bottom
3 - lot's of mid/treble. Tight. This might be a Distortion? PG?
5 - Just ok. Jazz?
1 - I did not like this. Loud. Invader?

I might just give up the goods on Easter Sunday and let you all know what the pickups are. That would be a week, so that seems cool to me.

I liked 4 the best and 3 the least

I thought 5 stayed the tightest under the gain. Was thick without being too boomy in the bass. Listened on good headphones.
