Hi gang, I finally pulled the trigger on THE most stunning Modern Eagle V, a wood library with maple neck and ebony fretboard….my dream combo. It’s even in River Blue. It looks to me like a Private Stock.
HOWEVER. I am struggling with the pickups. It may just be that they are not to my taste. From this guitar I was hoping to get a full on hard rock humbucker tone from the bridge and then from middle and neck, that spanky, qwacky Strat style tone. Ya know the holy grail, Les Paul & start tones all rolled into one.
I find the start style tones to be great, but I’m struggling with the humbuckers, I find them a bit lacking in…._well….humbuckerness! The bridge I find a bit soft and polite would be a good word. The neck I don’t find fat and rounded enough, feels like a thick single coil.
I’m only a few days into playing this guitar, but I just wanted to see what others thought. I guess the problem with this guitar is ya can’t really swap pickups out if your not keen…..or can you, is there any others that fit ?
Thanks for any help
Matt
