I sense a trend... The 59/C here is home brewed.

Re: 59/Custom Hybrid?
I love the way you matched the tuners with the pickguard.
For my own guitars, I've beem known to be a sucker for the contrast between black hardware and natural wood finishes...
Told ya! Sucker!
That's quite the pretty girl right there, man!

I like contrast but I can also be matchy matchy sometimes. LOL

Re: 59/Custom Hybrid?
To my shame, my '59/Custom is still in its box and with the tape seal unbroken.
I shall have to "create" a vacancy for it to fill. :naughty:

Re: 59/Custom Hybrid?
They sound great, a very useful sound, esp. for clean rhythm work. There is a volume drop, but that works in my favour because I mostly use the parallel setting for cleaner chord stuff. Plus the 59/Custom in parallel combined with the neck pickup provides another great rhythm sound, too.
I guess it may not be particularly useful for high-gain players, but for general-purpose guitar work on a dual-humbucker instrument, it can provide two extra, different, sounds that are somewhat more subtle than the humbuckers in full series-coil mode. There is still some degree of noise cancelling, too, unlike cancelling one coil.

Re: 59/Custom Hybrid?
Haven't tried it in parallel, but use it as a single coil a lot, i.e. half the time.
Agree that combined with neck it sounds great.
Slap it in that white RG410

Trust me, you don't want the slug coil to be the 59. Imagine hornets with razor blade wings in your ears...
