Re: Possible to replace the poles of the Invader?
Oh I think it would work, I've heard of many people changing the poles on their Invaders. I think only the caps are so huge really. But it's probably best to email the allparts guys and ask.

Re: Possible to replace the poles of the Invader?
That might be like a bucket of mud. Or maybe not. I was planning on trying that sometime, but never got around to it.
Zea, that is pretty cool. I wonder how SD has gold poles like that on hand? They don't use those for anything they sell. I don't think they have a plating machine to plate them with gold. Apparantly they have a source of those in gold.
I would be intersted in poles like that for maybe one of my Invaders but I prefer the smaller hex poles.

Re: Possible to replace the poles of the Invader?
Well not quite, the 10/32" poles on an Invader would never fit a lil' series single coil sized humbucker.
I talked to MJ and she could do something like an overwound Quarter Pounder with the Invader poles, not sure that would sound that good but you can swap something like a Dimarzio SDS-1 with the Invader poles. I've done this and it is pretty cool.

Zea sounds good. I love the output and crunch of the Invader and in it's stock form is to muddy for me. If she gave it more treble, it might be perfect with the bigger poles. Tell us how it sounds, and if you have the means a clip would be great!

Re: Possible to replace the poles of the Invader?
The only poles I ever found that could directly replace the Invader poles are Dimarzio Super-D poles. Had an Invader and a Super-D at the same time once and tried the swap -- they are totally interchangeable, or at least they were then.
But no, regular PAF style poles won't work -- way too narrow.

It was so long ago and used for such a different application (partially unwound an Invader to use it as a middle pu) that I can't say -- but in theory, the tone should be a good deal thinner.
