Hey guys
I have given up on the Bill Lawrence USA in my Washburn N4. Its just doesnt have the low end warmth. The N4 is a bright guitar and it doesn't fit.
I have heard so much about the Custom 8.
How would that sound ya think. I have tried all the Customs in my fat strat. the Custom Custom sounded great. Full and bright but needed a little more omph. C5 too scooped but sounded real great. I ended up with the strait Custom.
Now I need a p/u for my N4. Im considering the C8, the TB6 (Ive always love the power of that one with the ability to clean up and split.) or something from John Suhr.
Any thoughs and/or ideas.
thanks in advance.

I put a Pearly Gates in my Alder N4. I sold the guitar since but you can hear it here:

The amp is an old 2x12 Park combo, basically a Marshall JMP really.

Excuse the playing. This was my first ever time on stage (hence hiding under the baseball cap), about 4 years ago.

The Pearly Gates was a big improvement on the Bill Lawrence, much more warm and balanced. The BL was like an Ice Pick to my ears.

However, in the end, the guitar never had the Les Paul type crunch I wanted to hear and I sold the guitar. Shame really, I miss it now, it was an early Davies model too. The '59 in the neck was a beautiful match.

I too didn't like the BLUSA, in my N4- too bright!
I had an old Gibson 498T lying around, so on a whim I put it in- sounds pretty good- much warmer.
I was surprised, because I haven't found too many guitars I like the sound of w/ 498
