That throws a little wrench into it, uhhh... a curve? :|

I'll probably just put the SD pickups in whatever I get and not bother with doing a bunch of fancy work.

I do have one other guitar that is HH config that I'd work on. An Ibanez GAX-70. I might play with that one. I think the GFS pick-ups that were in it had the required wires for such a project. I put the stock ones back in for a more mellow tone in combination wirh some flatwounds.

Hyperborea, I had not heard of the P-Rail. Sounds veddy eeenteresting. :D
Have a listen to the demo video from the Seymour Duncan designer of these pickups Frank Falbo - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZhJXcSVnfs I think they sound great in my LP clone though I have wired up the so that the default is the two coils in the one pickup in parallel rather than series so that I get the more "vintage" sound as the default rather than the hotter sound.

Talk about some GAS. I think I have a 2010 project in mind. A double fat Strat or Tele with a pair of these in it. :twisted:
