Hi there,
I have just purchased a Cort X-11:
http://www.cort.co.kr/cort_usa/gire/spec/egspec.asp?md=x-11
and so far I was unable to get any pleasant sound at all from it, it sounds weird, like my baby nephew's plastic guitar. It has a Hum-Sing-Hum configuration using Mighty Mite Motherbuckers and an Mighty Mite MMS (at least that is what it says on their site).
I decided to toss out all of the MightyMites and to put in Seymour Duncans, so I punched in these values into the Tone Wizard on Seymour Duncan's site:
Instrument: Guitar
Guitar Type: Hum-Sing-Hum
Guitar body wood: Basswood
Fretboard wood: Rosewood
Bridge Type: Locking Trem
which generated a huge pile of results considering each of the possible music styles, but using the opinions I read in these forums I was able to narrow them down to this:
Bridge:
TB-14 Custom 5 OR
TB-5 Custom
Neck:
SH-2N Jazz Model
(I eliminated the SH-1N '59 Model using forum opinions)
Middle:
SSL-1 Vintage Staggered (this one showed up the most) OR
SSL-4 Quarter-Pound Flat OR
SSL-5 Custom Staggered OR
STK-S2 Hot Stack OR
SVR-1 Vintage Rails
I want to know your opinion on:
1) Custom 5 or Custom (i.e. TB-14 vs. TB-5 or SH-14 vs. SH-5)?
2) What single coil?
3) does the TB-14 + SH-2N + any of the middle PUs cited work? Or is it a totally wrong combination? (meaning that the Tone Wizard goofed and I didn't quite understand the opinions on this forum).
4) any other comment?
Thanks, bowzee
