    SE Custom 24-08 pickup swap...

    Wow, what an awesome writeup. It's nice to know there are options other than on/off. The changes described actually look fairly simple to accomplish. Being that this is an SE, my original goal was to tinker with it until it plays and sounds like I want it to. I'm going to implement these mods...

    SE Custom 24-08 pickup swap...

    Following your diagram, I was able to get the 59/09's in there, and everything works just like it did with the original pickups. Comparing this to another SE Custom, there is a clear difference in sound, most notably with clean tones. Playing through a Fender Deluxe, the cleans are simply...

    SE Custom 24-08 pickup swap...

    OK, you've convinced me. I won't return them, as I REALLY want to hear them in this 24-08. At this point, you've convinced me to keep them even if I can't make them work in this guitar. I have several guitars these will drop right into so they won't go to waste. Your advice is greatly...

    SE Custom 24-08 pickup swap...

    While that is a very generous offer, I don't want you spending a bunch of time on this, as I think I'm going to return the 59/09's and get something compatible out of the box. I really like the 24-08 setup and want to keep that functionality as is. I keep hearing such great reviews of the...

    SE Custom 24-08 pickup swap...

    So after struggling with the decision to either wait many months for an S2 Custom 24-08, I picked up an SE Custom 24-08 and some 59/09 pickups, thinking I'd swap them in. What I'm finding is the stock pickups have an extra green wire the 59/09's don't have and I have no idea what to do? Any...

    How is the S2 Custom 24 better than the SE?

    I couldn't have said it better myself. My "professional" playing days are pretty much over and I've whittled my collection of guitars down to a select six that I can't live without. Owning and absolutely loving the SE Custom 24's I have, my brain is comparing a Squire Strat to an American...

    How is the S2 Custom 24 better than the SE?

    Man I'm glad I found this thread. I've been trying to decide whether I want to pay for the S2 Custom 24 08 or pay half of that for the SE. I have two SE's currently, Custom 24 and Custom 24 Floyd Rose. I love both of them, but like some have said, the fretwork and the nut on the SE has a bit to...

    Another "which guitar" thread!

    I currently have two SE Customs; one with a fixed bridge and one with the Floyd Rose. I buddy just picked up an SE Custom 24-8 that I absolutely love. When I started looking at them, I realized there is a Custom S2 24-8. While it's double the price, as much as I love my two Indonesian-made...

    Probably a dumb question...

    I picked up an SE Custom 24 as it seemed like a great guitar for the money. I've since fallen in love with it and generally don't play my others much. One thing I'd like to do is replace the pickups. Not exactly what I'm looking for but the stockers seems sort of "limp" for lack of a better...
