Oh! What to expect?

Here is my Strat with the actual Duncan. This is an old one, a 1992 MIM Strat and I put the Duncan in in short order so it too is a 1992 or 1993 vintage pickup.




Now this is my custom SX from Rondo that I totally rebuilt. Only things origional are the neck, body, pick guard, jack plate (not the jack though, thats new) string trees and the bolts and plate that hold the neck on. Well, I did reuse some of the wire. This pickup is the GFS version that cost like $25. Very close in quality. Grover tuners and a high quality steel block trem. No pot metal here. The knobs are a recent addition (last night). I think they really pop. I got them as leftovers from a project for my son. You'll have to see the soon to come "Franken Bass" thread for my sons 8 string.





And a group shot!

Thanks for all the recommendations! I decided to follow your advice and ordered a Seymour Duncan Hot Rail. The people at the store will install it. I'm going to try without the coil-splitting for the time being, considering I never use my bridge pickup for anything besides the stuff too heavy to play on the others. They told me I could always install the switch later on if I still wanted it.

Looking forward to see how it'll turn out, and more importantly, hear it. Also, I was quite surprised at the playability of those Parker guitars, Norton. I'd never tried one until I saw your posts, and I have to say they seem absolutely excellent from the ones I've played.]]> Opinions and Polls Liontable https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/single-coils-humbuckers/#post-371753 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/single-coils-humbuckers/#post-371691 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 08:22:26 +0000 Opinions and Polls TRGuitar https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/single-coils-humbuckers/#post-371691 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/single-coils-humbuckers/#post-371686 Thu, 12 Jan 2012 00:18:28 +0000
The SC sounds cleaner and has more pick/dynamic response, the HB is hotter and has a nastier tone. I use them both depending on the song and what I want it to sound like.

You might consider a SC/HB option, then you can have it both ways.

Tell Paul that Tony in Australia put you on to him.

Once you get off of single-output pickups you'll never return...
