New Royale Build

[Stratmandu]

Hi All,

Just out of the box - from the Royale sale, a honey burst. Came very quick, and I have to say it looks better in person than in the pics on warmoth.com and here. Now I just gotta find some money for a neck. Thinking of dropping in some SD Pearly Gates, although open to suggestions for a articulate and clear humbucker that can handle anything from blues to hardrock/occasional old school metal.  :headbang:

Top notch flame. Very nice catch!

That guitar DEMANDS SD Alnico II Pros in zebra.

If I had that Royale I'd use Pearly Gates. Preferably in zebra if possible.

Pickups? 

WWJD? 

(What would Jimmy Page do?)

 

[Stratmandu]

Zebra pickups, eh? I was thinking nickel covers but now you got me thinking.

Nice body !

You can try DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary kit. Exactly the sound you describe "clear and articulate" with good vintage vibe...
