Well these do look pretty cool… I’m still looking into how they sound but these might work. Idk if I’d go with HHH or just HH. Or how HHH would even work with these.

You know I was looking at those. Maybe I could put three in for HHH. I got to check if they fit in humbucker slots. I’ll check them out again and respond

So I made a mock up of the guitar with single coils in adapters… they look pretty funky imo. I’m probably going to have to find an alternative. I’m going to see if other colors might look better but i doubt it.

Firebird pickups are single coils? Had no clue, never really got into firebirds. I’ll check those out and then reply to this again later.

I’ll make a mock up of it in slides, I don’t think it’ll look too weird. Hopefully.

well the VIP is a rear routed guitar only so I can’t just swap pickguards. If I could I totally would. What do you mean by having to widen the route?

This is going to sound really dumb but what do yall think about getting jt routed HHH or HSH and just using conversion rings for single coils just so I have the option to change out the pickups whenever I want?

The dream is to get the ultimate “studio” guitar but we both know it’s futile ha. I mean my “first love” of guitar was probably John Frusciante. More recently I’ve really been digging like John Mayers tone throughout continuum. I also love Khrungbins atmospheric type sounds. Also Rick from...

Yeah it’s my first time building anything. I have someone who can probably help out with actually building it so I’m not too concerned on that front. Right now I’m just trying to figure out what pickups I should put in. Everyone on the forum says the p-rails won’t be the best choice but now I...

Oh yeah I could maybe try and throw them in a squire Strat I have and if I don’t like it I’ll just return them. Only issue is that I don’t exactly know how to do that and paying a tech to do it might be a bit much for just an “experiment”. Also the pots aren’t the right ones I don’t think 250k...

I mean I’m more trying to chase a killer tone rather then copy a Strat sound perfectly. I think that these pickups would accomplish that don’t you?

Well I’d rather have one really cool guitar than two guitars. Also I’d rather build my own perfect guitar with all the specs I want.

I didn’t mean I was getting yelled at haha I’m just saying I’d rather be told here then calling someone up cus this community is so nice haha.

I’m going to preface that I’m certainly not ordering anything anytime soon. Most likely not even this year. Checked my blood pressure and it came back as “drummer”.. I think the machines off Anyway I mostly was posting this thread in general because I’ve spent probably more time than I...

24 frets would really change the sound that much? I mean I could just get 22 then. That would add more space and make everything less busy too. After all this I’ll probably just put 500k pots in them because they’ll sound good and there’s no risk. I was thinking of possibly putting the piezo...
