Re: Let see your Custom Shop pickups?
Agreed.
Even so, is the goal to get a custom model that someone else already has? Still.... I generally talk to MJ about my goals for something from her Custom Shop.

This. She's unmatched at translating what you want into a custom design.

Re: Let see your Custom Shop pickups?
I don't have any because I'm broke. But if I COULD have some, they would be hot-rodded a5 single coils wound to ~9K DCR, voiced to sound punchy and Hendrixy but still great for (traditional) metal.

So tell me if I'm wrong, but I thought SD already made the frankenstein pickups that come stock in the striped series

Re: Let see your Custom Shop pickups?
If you do a search, there is at least one thread where people within the Duncan company pretty much confirm the IM1 and the EVH Frankenstein are practically the same thing with different magnets.
The Duncan company supposedly had prototypes for a Wolfgang model. It's interesting that didn't work out. Wonder if anyone knows what prompted EVH to go with the ones he's using...which are actually also very good.

Nope. The stock pickup in the stripes series is the Fender-made EVH Wolfgang.
Duncan makes the afternarket EVH Frankenstein, but it is not the same as the IM1. The Frankie pickup is standard sized And has squared mounting legs. The IM1 the I got from the custom shop has trembucker spacing and rounded legs for direct mount without modification to the screwy EVH rout. (I had to send Derek the baseplate from the stock Wolfgang so he could machine it to fit!). Plus the minor differences that Darth alluded to.

You appear to be holding a 2 humbucker guitar. Why is it RWRP???

It could be that he wants an out of phase sound in the between position

Inner coils and outer coils, hum cancelling and in phase!

Re: Let see your Custom Shop pickups?
If you're on a budget, you should definitely check out the Duncan Designed SC-101 set found in the Squier Deluxe Strat models and a few others! It's pretty common to find a complete set out of a newer guitar in the $60 range on eBay and Reverb. The neck and middle models are more traditional in voicing and output, while the overwound bridge pretty much nails exactly what you're after. It's a good sounding and very versatile set, plus all 3 pickups use Alnico 5 magnets, just as you want!
