        Ok, surgery done.
        Custom in the bridge and Rebel Yell in the neck.

        The Custom has a bit of top end sizzle that I need to get used to. The last pickup that was in there had an A8 magnet, so yes....completely different high end response.
        I have only played it through my 20W Blackstar and it sounded big even at slightly louder than bedroom levels.
        I can’t wait to hear it through the Splawn at band levels. And I’m also curious as to how it will sit in the band mix. Judging from what little I have just heard now, I think it’s going to sound really good.

            yeah man, looks great. the sizzle you hear with the custom really helps it cut through but using a lower value pot will tame if it you wanna have it gone

              I actually already have 250k pots in that guitar. It’s not an overwhelming sizzle. It’s just different from the Fokin A8 that was in it before.

                Just realized...I was playing through a different cab than usual. This one has a WGS vet30/ET65 combo. I’m likely hearing the V30 mids. Also I noticed the screws on the pickup were adjusted all over the place. Probably set up for the previous owners guitar. I adjusted them a bit and that also helped.

                  Have you considered the Jazz neck? I'd think it would work well with a LP? I'm not a big fan of the 59. Found it bland and stiff. The Jazz to me is clearer and more articulate.
