Same SH1N pickup in a Flying V and an Explorer: an experiment.

[GuitarDoc]

Man! I have to tell you, freefrog, that I really can appreciate your knowledge on this and your ability to do that quantitative research. I don't know much about the technical aspects that you seem so fluent with, so all of this is really mind boggling to me. I do understand intuitively, the results that you get.

Thanks, and keep up the good work.

Thx Doc. Simply glad if my geeky rambling can be useful in any way to other musicians.

Just food for thought...
I have 2 epi explorers with the same Blackout AHB3 pickups in both.
both mahogany with ebony boards.

One (The Goth) switch has been moved and rewired between the pots, (so it's minus a volume pot) and the other one (The Lzzy Hale) switch is still way out in left field where they stick em when they build them.

​​​​​​The Goth one, is a darker sounding guitar.

Thx for sharing!

I'm not familiar with Blackouts: do their preamp(s) diminish the impedance before or after the switch?
