Hi Guys,
First time posting and it's probably going to be a long one Lol.
Recently purchased a Sire Hybrid Hollow body, (pic below) They call it a hybrid hollow because, while it's completely hollow it's not routed as deep as a traditional hollow body. The only block inside is under the ABS bridge.
Want to use this for fusion jazz. I'm playing through a Katana MKII 50. A quick search tells me that I want alnico 2's or 5's with vintage/low output.
I have a Fender American pro tele II, that I put a jazz humbucker in the neck and a JB for tele in the bridge. While I like the JB I'm not a big fan of the Jazz, too sterile? (I'm probably going to get flamed for that Lol). So for this one I'm leaning toward a Full Shred in the neck, (about 90% certain but my mind can be changed Lol). Because this is a hollow body I wanted to stay away from the JB in this guitar cause of the mid-honk that can happen with JB's.
So I have the bridge narrowed down to the following:
Jazz bridge - sounds nice on the sample but worried since I'm not a big fan of the Jazz neck
59 custom
Full Shred bridge
Screamin demon
If anyone else has any recommendations I'm all ears.
Oh, the fusion I'd like to play is a brighter style with low to mid gain, if any at all. HARMONICALLY RICH.
I'm also going cover less.
Mahogany body, maple cap, mahogany neck, ebony fretboard.
Thanks!
