1999 McCarty with prs/seymour duncan p90’s

Great guitar, terrible pickups.

Luckily that’s an easy swap.
This sums it up. You will find a lot of love for the McSoapy around here. Special guitars, but not everybodly likes the SD pickups that came stock. I actually do not know if anyone still uses those. Replaced mine with Wolfetones, which are awesome.

My McSoapy korina is arguably my best playing and sounding guitar. Probably my only real "lifer".

Wolfetones for me in my Mira 25th too. Made a world of difference!
 
Did you replace both pickups and which model did you go for with the Wolftones, I thought about going with Bare knuckle pickups.

I replaced both. For my application I prefer low output PUs, so I went with a mean (alnico ii) for the bridge and underwound mean (alnico v) for the neck. Enough punch to bite on the bridge, but chimes very nicely on the neck.

To get an idea how it sounds: from 6.20. Last sundays service

 
Just ordered the mean and meaner Wolftones.
Nice! I should ask Wolfe for commission :p. By the way: the neck comes with the alnico ii, I swapped out the ii and put in alnico Vs
 
Kind of a deal I couldnt refuse from Wolf, he gave me a really good discount.
, so I pulled the trigger. How do you like the Wolftones?
Very happy with them, but don't make it a secret over I love his PUs. I have two more guitars with his creations and they all sound awesome (might have something to do that those guitars also happen to be PRS)
 
So I installed a mean and meaner set of p90’s in my mccarty soapy today, havent treid them yet but im interested in your opion, the seymour duncan bridge I took out measured over 12 K and the meaner measures in at just over 8, seems the duncan is way hotter than the wolf, what kind of sound am I going to get, the wolf mean measures in still the same 8 k range as the wolf meaner there doesnt appear there is going to be much diffefference between the 2 wolftones, as mentioned havent tried them out yet but now realize ths duncan bridge at 12 will be raunchier, going test test the wolfs out tommorow. 1999 mccarty soapy. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Got a sneaking suspicion the SD is going back in.
Cheers

Different beast bi think the duncan is less P90 than the mean. It will have less output, but I doubt it will be less raunchy. The very hot duncan had more in common with a humbucker IIRC.

If I am correct my "mean" is about 7.8 ish, but I cannot check this for a couple of weeks (holiday).
 
Measured mine at mean @ 8.2 k and the meaner @ 9.21 k . Will be trying them out today after restringing. Enjoy your holiday, reckon your from the UK🤔

Thanks, will do. I'm actually Dutch BTW.

Looking forward to your report about the WTs!
 
I have a freind that lives in holland, will let you know how the Wolfs turn out once i figured out the pup to string heights.
