Hybrids!

Re: Hybrids!

A JB/Custom with an A2 magnet is what intrigues me the most.

I will have to try a DD with 2 slug coils so I can make it look like a Stag Mag to match the real Stag Mag in the neck. And to try making a '59 into a Stag Mag.

That combo tends to sound better with an A5 or the Ceramic from a Custom...

I could understand the ceramic, but I want nothing resembling the icepickyness (if that's a word) of the JB or the scooped sound of the C5.

Have you actually tried these 2 pickups in your guitar?

I tried the JB in my Heritage and thought it was too icepicky.

In my old LP I tried the C5 and it sounded too gutless.

I made a gibson version of the CC and liked it (498T+A2 mag). I like the the sound of the CC but want the extra oomph offered by the JB/Dist. coil.

Re: Hybrids!

Maybe you would prefer the A2 magnet then!

LOL :laugh2:

I REALLY appreciate your help BachToRock! What's your particular take on the different tonalities expressed with the different magnets with this particular hybrid.

Re: Hybrids!

a lil off topic, but i'd love to see a hybrid of the JB and the ibanez AH2. hopefully it would have the powerful highs of the AH2 and the chug power of the JB.

Where can you get that?

Stewart-MacDonald sells lots of pickup making supplies. I've ordered from them before and they're great. Here's a link:

Thanks! I though my question was lost for good.
