Going Modal
I should be practicing right now.
For those of you who have or have tried Narrowfield pickups, in which format do you think they've really excelled? (I'm generally referring to the already-existing "57/08" NF's; although if anybody's gotten their hands on these new 2021 ones, feel free to speak up about them.) I've been lucky enough to systematically buy/try/(and sadly, sell) many different PRSi with many different pickups, but never these. I'm hugely interested, though, since I began my guitar life as a single-coil guy and I still really appreciate them.
The whole narrow-field idea is intriguing to me; much as I find the design of the neck pickup on my 408 to be a genius concept. [Extra credit: can anybody tell me if the Narrowfields and the 408 bass pickup (and/or treble pickup in the Paul's Guitar) are essentially "close-enough" in their outcomes? Like... the McCarty Narrowfield guitar vs. Paul's Guitar--different takes of nearly the same thing?]
