I've got my old '91 Charvel 3DR, JB bridge, that I installed a HB in the neck some 26 years ago...
SD59 didn't get it
Fury sounded really good, but I hate the adaptor rings, ruins the look of the guitar
HFH ... better, but pretty thin and a bit ice-picky on the high end, otherwise quite good.
I was going to try a Jazz next, but a few people here convinced me I'd probably like the FS better.
Then I started reading about the Gravity Storms, the description sounds pretty good....
(from a member's blog review: )
[ceramic magnet in neck] It makes the Gravity Storm feel a little like you are playing a single coil pickup that just happens to be very fat sounding, and hum-free.
from DMZ:
The Gravity Storm™ Neck model is sweet and warm, but the texture has an edge to it. It has the depth of a humbucker with some of the bite of a single-coil. Most neck humbuckers don’t do a great job at reproducing pick harmonics, especially if they have a warm sound. This one’s different, particularly with 24-fret guitars. The combination of fat neck position tone with harmonics is something we haven’t often encountered before. It has a throaty quality that sounds like a cross between a humbucker and a single-coil.
This guitar is used exclusively for high-gain (Vai-like) stuff; it's my only axe with a Floyd.
So, HFH vs FS vs GS ?
