Looking at those pics... Man, is my wiring sloppy!

I don't think so, Doc.
I think is modern volume wiring (dependent) with '50s tone mod.

Okay, so...I need some clarification on this. As far as I was concerned, there was "modern" and "50's" style wiring. Then, someone had to go and say "modern volume with 50's tone" and confuse the hell outta me. Can somebody extrapalate?

As far as I can tell/see, Slash's Derrig has "50's" style wiring....no?

There is more than 1 way to wire a 3 way selector?

Yes there are. Gibson themselves did the wiring 2 different ways a while back. One method was to use a jumper wire.

Very cool of Ace to send that and share it. That's awesome.

I have a Slash neck paired with a Screamin' Demon in my Frankenstrat. To those who have not tried the Slash, do it and do it now. You will not be sorry. It is probably the best sounding and feeling neck pickup I have ever used.

I have the slash set in an 81 LP Custom (maple neck, ebony board). They sound great, the only ones I tried that sounded good in that guitar. Bridge pickup is pretty good, but the neck is phenomenal.

May I ask you how's the ''bass'' on your pickups set? I got a set, but I just don't feel the bass at all. All mids & treble!
They really are clear and low output pickups.

Its not really bassy, but I like that, I prefer the clarity in the pickup and adjust my amp as needed. Its also a very bright guitar.

Wow - missed this gem the first time around!

IMO, ALL Les PAuls should be wired 50's. Why WOULDN'T you????

That said at the moment I don't believe any of mine are. As an "Always" on 10 guy - no reason I suppose.

I have my Slash set wired 50s on the neck and modern in the bridge. This is just what worked best for me personally. The Slash neck pickup is quite possibly the best neck pickup I have ever owned.
