Thank you, this is what I would assume.. I'm not informed near enough to know the difference in sound between a covered and uncovered version of the exact same pickup, but that didn't seem to account for the slight differences I was hearing in comparing the two. I referred to this guide before...

Thanks guys! if you go back a page or so you can see where I came into this thread, I asked about these uncovered pickups too, I was confused!! These aren't actually the standard 58/15MT's that usually come on the SSH, they're 85/15MT's.. I've seen conflicting accounts around the internet as...

Guys... I want to thank everyone here and your guidance, this was a revelatory discussion for me. I went out to Northeast Music Center and I can't say enough amazing things about Jack Gretz and everyone there! SO accommodating and genuine and nice.. I tried out a Special 22 with the 58/15MT's...

oh, that's great to hear! Thank you!

Sorry for such a quick follow up, you guys just have me fully convinced that the MT's are the way to go.. I'm also pretty sold on either the faded whale blue or mccarty sunburst (and as a wood library model with rosewood neck, but that's just silly.. what, maybe 10 of each was probably ever...

I've been scouring the internet looking for this EXACT discussion! So glad to read everyone's thoughts on this. The special 22 semi-hollow is my absolute dream guitar and, with the recent announcement of it coming to the Core line, I've been very torn.. This thread has helped immensely as the...
