Not a fan of LOTR, I assume?

Oh, I totally am. The name just sounded a little try-hard to me.
Hey, they should make a more mellow set and name the neck pickup "Frodo"

I have purchased some allen head pole pieces to try in some different pickups. My hope is they tighten and brighten. The JB in my 5150 homage may get them first or maybe the custom in the RG I gig with
For posterity, I've also tried the FS7 bridge with a small ceramic. The sound is actually *very* similar to a Custom SH-5. So much so, that I went ahead and got an actual Custom to compare it against. The Custom has a little more "oomph," and chunk, at the expense of some tightness, but not by much.
The main difference is on the wound strings where the FS is tighter, but also a bit more anemic when distorted.
Also, my copies of both FS bridge and SH-5 Custom have slightly offset coils. By about 0.3k ohms. Might be within tolerance, but I remember the 6 string versions reading nearly identical for both coils. So does the Pegasus 7. I wonder if the 7 string versions of the Custom wind have offset coils by design?
