NGD: Santana + weird pickups

[watelessness]

from Experience (thank you, Eric @ Willcutt!!). it took me a few weeks to get all the parts and to figure out how to wire it. will take another week until all the soldering iron burns heal but it's fully tapable now.

How does it sound? well, as good as it looks! (enough to make Ang retire the 500T in his LP) :box:

[Egads]

Very cool! Congrats. That's got to be a rock machine.

Sweeet, you got the pickups installed!!! Love that finish.

So the M's are not to hot for the Santana?

 

[justmund]

Man that guitar punches you in the face with it's looks, and I'm willing to bet, sounds as well!

 

[iahawk36]

Well done, Dave!

i bought the guitar because it resonates like a fiend, regardless of where on the neck i grip a chord. cant believe it had been sitting around the factory for 8 months.

sonically, with\m/ pickups, it has this immense voice, yet it is still clear and articulate. so far i've only played it through the Sewell because i just cant stop playing mid 80's hair metal on it. 245 scale is just amazing for dancing around like i was wearing spandex again...and had hair....and could play... these pickups ROCK!
