NMGD - The SAS \m/

[justmund]

New Modified Guitar Day! It's Monday here so might as well add some fodder for Modified Monday

Introducing The SAS \m/... This one started out as a SAS Narrowfield 25th Anni, I routed some holes in it and whacked in a triple pack of uncovered PRS \m/ (Metal) pickups. I installed a different 5-way, so middle position is bridge/neck. There's a push-pull which taps the neck and middle (complete with resistors to ground) and once I get another PRS push-pull I'll either do a passive mid-cut, or just have a coil tap for the bridge on the tone pot and neck/middle on the volume pot.

It's not 100% finished, the middle pickup isn't quite in the right place and the bridge PU ring isn't one of the later "universal" rings.

No before shots, but you all know what these look like with Narrowfields...

Tone report to come, band practice tonight. Initial impressions are the \m/s are a lot darker than I thought they would be, possibly a consequence of being higher output/more winds than a usual 5x/xx pickup.

Edit - Apparently the pics weren't working for some peeps, have changed the links and added a link to the Flickr album.

While I'm kinda sad you routed out an NF SAS that really want, that's bad a$$!

Insane!!!

What do you think of the \m/'s? Are they a totally modern vibe, or do they have any hint of a vintage pickup with more output?

Good lord! That's amazing.

What scale length are the SASs?

Thanks everyone!

TBH I've spent less than 15 minutes playing it, we had rehearsal tonight and there was way more talking than playing.

Good lord! That's amazing.

What scale length are the SASs?

I believe 25"

I think so, was on Gumtree a few months back, I've been keeping this one quiet

Not sure (see above and below)

Clips will be done as soon as I have a chance! The wiring is a bit funny at the moment, the bridge and middle are out of phase (I chose this over neck and middle) and the middle pickup as permanently split until I can get another push-pull (they're crazy expensive in Aus).

The Mod-King strikes again!!!!

Whoa, OK thanks! I don't think I deserve that title but I'd rather be The Mod-King than King of the Mods (Mighty Boosh reference)!
