Today I decided to keep the ridiculously priced Pegasus/Sentient set I rather impulsively bought the other night. Now I've got to decide what I'm going to put them in? Initially I was just going to return them and get my money back but after the return shipping and a 15% restocking fee I was going to take a pretty big hit! Yesterday I got an offer from a forum bro, he said he would be happy to take them off my hands for what I paid! Awesome offer, basically he was going to bail me out of my own stupidity? I slept on it & although I may need to sell my son into white slavery to do this, I really want to try them out!
You see, I'm very intrigued by these but there's really not a lot out there as far as demos & reviews about them, @ least not for 6 string humbuckers anyway? Lots of stuff on Black Winters, I found some great Pegasus 7 string vids & quite a few 6 string videos for the Nazgul but as far as the Pegasus/Sentient 6 string set there was like 4 & none of them were very impartial? Obviously the one that Duncan uses which is the best of them BTW, only had good things to say & two others just had awful sound quality & some guy fumbling around with his shred stick. The only other one I found that was any good was in Russian & I couldn't tell if he loved or hated them? He looked very angry, I think he probably lives in some awful little village where everyone has guns & smells like soup?
Anyway, as far as W.T.F. I'm going to be doing with them I'm caught between one of my Strat's & a H/H G&L A.S.A.T., the Strat is just a Standard with a Alder body, Maple neck and Rosewood fingerboard. The A.S.A.T essentially has the same neck, Maple & Rosewood? But the body is chambered Mahogany with a Maple top & it's got a G&L horseshoe bridge. I have several Stratocasters with all kinds of different guards in them & they are by far the guitar that I feel most comfortable playing. The A.S.A.T. is currently the only true double humbucker guitar I've got, typically I like a single in the neck? I think the pickups will probably sound better in the G&L but that guitar already sounds amazing with the stock pickups & aside from my Legacy it's the only one I've got that's still 100% stock. If I put them into a Strat guard and use 500k pots I think it's going to sound good but to me it doesn't seem like the kind of guitar that's going to compliment the pickups very well? Oh, one other thing, I did read something where a guy was saying that the Pegasus 6 string humbuckers were a lot like JB's, if anyone has experience with the Pegasus please tell me this isn't so & that guy was full of it! The comment didn't really make sense to me, they seem like pretty different monsters but if there's any truth to that statement I'd rather know before then after, I friggin hate JB's!!!!!
So if you were me what would you do???????
