I'm interested in the S2 Singlecut with the adjustable wraparound bridge but would prefer the non adjustable version from the Paul's Guitar. Can it simply be swapped on?
Thanks!! I'm also considering putting Paul's SE pickups in to replace the #7 pickups, to bring it closer to a Paul's vibe and versatilityEasy as can be. Just be sure to get the bridge height set correctly.
Where would you place the #7's and the Paul's (SE) pickups in comparison to those?See if you can find a set of 57/08's or 59/09's used. The 08's have (to my ears) a classic hum bucker sound. The 50/09's with gain are lethal.
Excellent advice.. or a 5708 in the neck and 5909 in the bridge is always a winner.See if you can find a set of 57/08's or 59/09's used. The 08's have (to my ears) a classic hum bucker sound. The 50/09's with gain are lethal.
I like to be able to have good versatility via guitar controls, running into a dimed Plexi circuit. Typically this means switching to a dialed back neck pickup for clean tones and running a hot bridge for gain, but I also like plucky middle positions and dialed back bridge twang.I have USA #7’s in an SE Singlecut. Very good with gain, need to be kicked back a couple of notches for clean sounds. I have SE Paul’s in an SE maple neck Custom 24. I’m still working on getting the sounds I want. I just put a brass trem claw in to thicken the sound. I’m a blues & rnb players mostly these days. What you intend to play has a lot to do with what pickups will sound the best. The 57/08’s are my all around favorites. Clear, mid focused and good top end. The 59/09’s are like that, only more, especially with gain. Remember, your ears are the ultimate guide. There is no better or worse. There is only how you play, what you hear, and what you want to hear.
Always thought the Swamp Ash Specials were cool as hell, although I'm a set-neck non-trem guy.It’s called an SE SAS. Play one and get ready for a big surprise.
Not sure about him cancelling, but regarding the #7S pickups - I’d say give them a good try before you go swapping. To me they seem to have a strong upper mid voice, although for some reason the set seems to not match the way I’d like. I ended up like the 7 bridge in one guitar, the 7 neck in another. That said, I’d not change them for anything… and I like the USA pickups a whole lot.
