SSL-3 in the neck position

WoW!

man, I love my SSL-3 (s) !!!!!!!!!

having revolved a whole bunch of pups around 3 guitars I was left with a spare SSL-3 lying on the table, a Strat with an SSL-3 at bridge position and a big hole starring at me at it's neck position. So I dropped the spare SSL-3 into neck position and went to rehearsal. Wow! it was breathtaking!

I reduced the height of the neck pup and so the two SSL-3s are fairly equal in volume. This is nice as I wanted an equal volume switch when changing - the saturation is just so creamy and it still sounds 'strat' - certainly not thin and quacky like a real one, but fantastic for heavy blues or real rock!!! It also complements the original Fender pup in the middle so right now I am rocking!

ive used an ssl6 in the neck with similar results, big thick loud strat tone with a smooth overdriven sound. glad you like it!!

The SSL-3's are an intrigueing pup. I thought my 6's were hot at 13k, but the 3's are 16.4k. Yowsa. Sounds like fun. :D
