Re: This just came in (Custom shop content)......
Well, just gave it a good play through my H&K Triamp. Sounds absolutely killer and does exactly what I was hoping it would do!
The low end is really tight.....as tight as the overwound 'Demon that was in it previously, but the top end is just perfect: present but not shrill. Very dynamic and great note separation. It is also surprisingly aggressive sounding for being a "low output" pickup; much like a '78 model is.
I am starting to become a big fan of A2 magnets: the sweet midrange they impart and the chewiness you get when doing leadwork is fantastic!

Interesting. So it's like a happy medium between a Screamin' Demon and a '78?
And congrats!

Thanks man!
I think a more accurate way yo describe it would be a really tight '78 with a hair more juice. EQ wise and playing feel wise, it is much more like the '78 than the 'Demon.

Re: This just came in (Custom shop content)......
Thanks Jeremy! Funny, but you totally came to mind as I know you like your A2 equipped P.A.F'S. Well, now I totally understand why!
JeffB, I have an old OG single cut as well (pretty much an SC 250) and I am really thinking about ordering another one for it. If I do, I will let you know how it sounds....I can definitely see it working great for the exact reasons you described.
Anyway. Playing the crap out of this guitar now. This guitar in particular has been tough to find a pickup match for, so it feels so awesome to finally find "the one".

Thanks Orpheo! Ahh good eyes. That is a Custom shop "strat under humbucker" pickup based on the SSL1.
Really awesome and chimey and goes great with the guitars Rose wood neck and ebony board I think. Balances really well with the new PAF, which I am happy about!
I have also been meaning to do some clips. I think I will hold off until I get my Holcomb model, as I know a bunch of folks are curious about that set as well....
cool pickupwhat's the neck pickup?
