Finally got it all in place.
Upgraded pickups and a new wiring harness. 50’s spec but 1 twist. The neck has a coil split on the tone pot and is wired out of phase.
The pictures are below and in the process of putting together a before & after video.
The differences are huge! The 58/15LTs certainly are worth their weight. They have a clarity to them that I havn’t found a match to. But in the bridge they come at the expense of power and ooze off too much treble response for Heavier blues Rock!
The Mule is a perfect match for the bridge! It’s doing what it should, letting the guitar’s natural sound through so the amp can handle the remaining show. The Seymour Duncan Neck is woody as can be. Not as clear as the 58/15LT but overall it carries a mid range that was lacking in the LT so it’s a trade off between the 2 I have to live with
