Re: ever make a jb/pg hybrid?

Yes and yes to the PG/Custom Hybrid

I personally didn't dig the 59/JB Hybrid... the JB/ Custom Hybrid sounds great though
 
Re: ever make a jb/pg hybrid?

How does the Custom/JB hybrid compare to the Custom/59 hybrid? Quite a bit more output huh?
 
Re: ever make a jb/pg hybrid?

got me interested sorta in something here...

anyone know what a JB sounds like with A2 mag? (not a hybrid, jes plain ol JB)...
 
Re: ever make a jb/pg hybrid?

Yeah the Allan Holdsworth tone. JB w/ Alnico 2. Only his has 12 slotted screws, but same basic idea.
 
Re: ever make a jb/pg hybrid?

So, apparently George Lynch is using a JB with an A2 magnet and different guage wire winding...

Necrobump vs new thread. Necrobump wins this time.

As the title suggests, anyone have experience with a JB/PG hybrid? It may be an option for me in the near future, but if it's known to be a terrible combo, I'd rather save the time and effort. There's just not much info on this combo, which leads me to believe it lacks magic.

I've never tried it, but that is certainly a big difference between those coils.

I actually really like it. Warmer highs, more mids, less of the upper mid "honk" that many complain about, softer attack, more forgiving. I also love the Distortion with an A2 (but really, anything sounds better to my ears than ceramic mags).

I haven't actually done this one, but I would expect it to be very bright and piercing with anything but an A2. And with the A2 it may be a very interesting pup worth the try.

It may have been his tone around Metal Fatigue in the mid-80s, but later on (I think, his better tone), was a much lower output pickup. I think it was something like a neck 59 in the bridge with 2 rows of screws.
