Ultra-bright guitar

[gutter0909]

Update:

I've swapped wiring harness between guitars and no matter what pickups and harnesses (with different pots) I put in the problem guitar, it's always too bright and the other guitars are just fine. I haven't had a chance to test the resistance on the Super Distortion as I can't find my multimeter to save my life so I have a new one on the way.

This leads me to believe that the issues lie in the neck or the body. I may try swapping the nut for shits and giggles and I have a Mighty Mite neck waiting for a body that I can throw on and see what happens as well.

Best I can do is something recorded with my phone.

I thought the Invader and graphtech saddles did the trick?

They helped but I didn't really like the Invader as it felt too bass forward and was way too hot, I was fighting feedback the whole time I played with it in.

After some internet scouring, I learned how to use my HX Stomp and Reaper to record and I found something interesting. I recorded the same riff through my Jackson King V with a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge and my partscaster then panned them each to a side. They actually sound great together and really compliment each other. For some reason, the stomp and recording doesn't capture it so maybe it's my room or my amp? The partscaster is still a bit higher but recorded it's not as bad as through my amp. I'm so lost in the sauce with this whole thing now.
