New Pickup Day

[Bowtiefanatc]

I installed a set of Core Starla Pickups into the new SE Semi Hollow I got earlier this week.

They totally transformed the sound of this already amazing guitar. I also installed a core nut as opposed to the cheap plastic one.

Up next will be some Bigsby upgrades and then just aesthetic ebony tuner buttons. If you have the chance to pick one of these up, I highly recommend it.

Nice!
What are you doing to the Bigsby?

 

[sergiodeblanc]

That’s how you do it!

 

[SinSir]

Nice! Dorothy has found her way home

The String through bar vs posts, string alignment roller, roller bridge for smoother Trem, and likely a softer spring.

Killer!

I can’t help but to feel like there are basically a Duesenberg Double Cat for $2000 less.

That’s pretty accurate.

Accurate.. Korean guitars assembled in Germany vs Korean guitar reimagined in America.

I'll take the PRS

I’m not bagging on Duesenberg. They’ve got a “thing” and some really nice hardware.

But then again so do these…

 

[Gtrbldr]

The real question is, where did you get those starla PUs?

 

[Bowtiefanatc]

Here and there

I’ve got a spare S2 Starla set I’m trying to part with.

I'm not either.. heck there was a time I considered them.

I dig these SH, even more with the tweaks. Solid

Can’t recommend them enough, even though I do constantly.

Well, I have a core starla and know these PUs are kind of worth their weight in gold an have mythical status. The S2s are different. Had them side by side. Great PU too, but different.

Don’t forget the core knobs

True, I just have more Starla pickups than I have guitars that need new pickups

I have some nice hip shot O-Ring knobs coming from a friend of mine. The lamp shades are a little tight.

Show off.

I would be MORE than happy to take some off your hands for you!
