I still like the idea of a Quarter Pound with an additional tap at the 75% point. Trouble is, I don't see any way I'm going to be able to make it. :yell:

Man I am SO torn on this. I want a special bucker, but I also would like a hot A2 bridge for my strat, or tele. Grrrr.

If you think of it in the right way, you could still get a win-win situation here. Just pick one, and make it on user day. Its free. Then order the other one from the Custom Shop. Average the cost between the two, and you have two custom pups at regular price.

This is true, very true!

A pup like what Seymour does in the SD esquire except with QP polepieces is what I've been thinking of for my tele.

For my Strat a 10k A2

The bucker, a custom/JB hybrid with A2 or ceramic (big or small mag) or maybe a 10-12k bucker A2 mag. I'm trying to come up with something original.

Yeah, I'd totally go if I lived closer. Sounds like tons of fun.

A Humbucker on which every coil can be tapped!
And the same with quarter pound rods.
Then you have something like this:

Full: Distortion
Tapped: PAF
Split: hot Single-Coil
Splt and tap: Vintage single-Coil

 

[Artie]

Re: your users group day pickup creation

Yup, and take it one step farther: tap one coil, but not the other . . . instant hybrid.

Custom/59 hyb.?

Re: your users group day pickup creation

Here's a suggestion for Tele players: an STL-2 tapped with an added bottom plate. I own one or two myself and they're my favorite Tele lead pickups.

Here's a suggestion for humbucker players who want something that we don't offer: a Screamin' Demon (10K) with an aged Alnico 2 magnet and standard adjustable screws. That's kind of like Jeremy's 10K Antiquity.

Here's a suggestion for Strat players: an over-wound Classic Stack with a Twang Banger bottom plate.

But keep this in mind: in order for MJ to get all the materials together to make these pickups, she'll need references to common SD pickups, like I specified above. That'll make it easier for her.

I look forward to seeing you guys next month.

Re: your users group day pickup creation

I need to satisfy my curiosity about an overwound Custom 5 nickel, just to add a touch more mids. Basically, bridge the gap between the C5 and JB. Like a 15.5 C5.

I shall call it the GJ Model. :duh: :laugh2:
But since I'm not officially endorsed and not being paid a royalty, people will have to refer to it as the Gee Jay......which cannot mean Gearjoneser. It's pseudo-name will be the 'Great Joe Model' :fing25: :laugh2: :laugh2:

Man, I love the Demon and Classic stack idea!!

Re: your users group day pickup creation

man...I really wish I could go...not just for the pickup (not really for the pick up at all) I would love to meat up with all you guys and just jam out all night!

Oh, there's plenty of pickup humor to go around! :laugh2:

Re: your users group day pickup creation

I'm going for a custom rewind on my G&L bridge P90. I'm going to use a a-2 magnet and overwind in about 15%. I was also thinking about doing a stagmag voiced for the neck with an output around 10.2 10.5.
