It is maple neck through with ebony fretboard, with Koa wood sides and a Tung Oil Finish. It currently has 2 of the carvin single coil pickups, a three way switch, and 2 mini toggles for controlling phase and series/parallel for when both pickups are selected.
I am wanting to get several different sounds out of the guitar with the new pickups:
Fat Les Paul sound in bridge position - I am thinking JB Jr pickup
For the neck, I am unsure what to get. I want the fat LP sound there too, and I think the Lil 59 will be good, but I also want the ability to get some nice clean tones, and I would like to get some of the strat like sound that you hear in some songs, like "That Smell" and "I Know a Little" by Lynyrd Skynyrd (Like the Steve Gaines sound, I think he used an LP for that but it sounds strat like to me) So I am also thinking DuckBucker in the neck.
I have got the 2 toggle switches to control things like splitting to single coil, or phase switching.
What do you guys think? Are there other options besides these that I haven't considered that you could suggest?
Thanks!
Steve
