Looks like I’ll be trading a spare pickup set for a set of 53/10s. Mostly out of curiousity from hearing about these ones a number of times. So the question is, which guitar would be the best fit for them?
I currently have two main candidates:
- 2006 CE 22, all mahogany body
- 2006 Johnny Hiland
Both of them I’d like to try different pickups in. Would like to try a 59/09 set in the one that doesn’t get the 53/10s. I’d prefer not to throw my Stripped ‘58 w/ 57/08s in the mix, because it sounds great as-is. But if someone makes a convincing arguement for the 53/10s in that, I’d listen.
These are squabbin 53/10s, in case that matters. I don’t mind warm, which I read this pickups are, but I don’t want dull. So, how would you arrange it?
