I am sure this has been asked about a million times, maybe even me, but what is an unusual pairing with a SD Custom? I have an ESP LTD M400M, mahogany body, maple neck and rosewood board, 1 volume and a three way toggle.
What I have found with this guitar is its very "throaty" is best way I could describe it. At first I thought it was more of a nasally sound, tried a bunch of mag swags, put a BW bridge in it, still had that same throatiness. Best tone to describe what the guitar sounds like that I could think of is CC Deville.
Had a liberator pot laying around here and since I suck at soldering figured Id give it a shot at putting the Liberator in, with some amp tweaking, it doesnt sound bad with the Custom back home in it. With the Liberator, the guitar doesnt sound as throaty as before and
Currently there is a Jazz in the neck, which Ive been kinda meh. Currently the Jazz is also direct mounted, which can rectified but either drilling out the tabs or I think I have enough space under the fret board extension to a a thin pickup ring.
I have a guitar with a 59 neck, which isnt bad, a BW neck, which I like after a few height adjustments. Id like something in between those two, doesnt have to be high output but not your typical pairing. I was kinda thinking a phat cat but not sure how that would go with the throatiness of the guitar.
