Has anyone tried combining the 5/2 Nashville Studio Strat neck and RWRP middle pickups with a Twangbanger in the bridge? This seems like it should be a good combination, given the lower resonant peak and EQ listed for the 5/2's as compared to SSL-1's or APS-1's. I like the SSL-1/SSL-1/TB combo I have in one Strat, but I'd like something a bit less bright and a bit more chunky to replace the Texas Specials in another Strat. Any comments from 5/2 users would be appreciated. THanks!

i just played an esquire with a 5/2 and it sounded great. its been a while since i tried one. i like the 5/2 much better than the texas specials, a warmer tone with out as much bite. should match up well with the twangbanger in the bridge

Re: 5/2 Nashville Studio and Twangbanger Strat combo?
Thanks, Jeremy. I actually tried a 5/2 Tele set in an alder/rosewood American Tele and really liked the lead pickup, but the rhythm pickup was pretty dull and lifeless sounding. I exchanged them for a set of Antiquity flatpoles, but I sometimes think about trying the 5/2 Tele lead again. It sounds like the 5/2 Strat neck and middle may work for me. Any other comments from anyone?

I haven't tried this, but I'm considering it. I have an '85 MIJ Strat with the original prototype 5-2s for Strat and I'm thinking of Twangbangin' the bridge position. The only thing holding me back is that they're the prototypes, and I'm kinda sentimental that way.
