Thinking about ordering my first set of custom pickups... thoughts?

Well, I ended up with these.

Close enough, I guess? LOL.

which ones?

Fishman Fluence Classics. I traded my Will Adlers for those. Looks like they came off an LTD because they come with the black nickel/cosmo poles sorta like the Black Winter.

nice! never owned a set but theyve sounded good when ive had the chance to play through em. how are they wired?

Two volumes two tones. I think I've got the voice 1/2 switch on the neck tone and the single coil on the bridge tone.

But I want to reverse the switch on the neck tone so that voice 2 on the bridge is my default. Voice 2 is the JB-ish. The PAF-ish voicing is nice too since it's got a decent output, but I like the fatter JB voicing, personally. More familiar-sounding.

I don't like Voice 2 in the neck all that much, TBH. I don't know what it's supposed to be. I've read wide range humbucker, but I've also read semi-hollow. It just sounds weird to me. Like mega round with a weird spike in the highs.

The single coil is set to the inner coils. I want to change that as well. I don't get why people do that, honestly. I mean, I do get it with the bridge, but for me, I like my bridge single coil to be extra bright (otherwise, I'd stick with a humbucker there) and my neck single coil to be in the sweet spot.

TBH, I'm not in love with the neck pickup overall, but the bridge pickup is fantastic. Oh, well... can't have everything, LOL.
