The Itch To Switch

[Bogner]

I Woke Up This Morning With The Idea Of Restringing Several Guitars For Something "Fun" To Do. Then The Brilliant Idea Came Along On Top Of That To Make A Couple Of Pickup Swaps On Those Guitars When You Get To Them And Now I Am Strongly Considering That. Hopefully The Brilliant Ideas Stop There.

The Guitars I Am Thinking Of Swapping Are Singlecut Models...One Is OG Trem And The Other Two Are Full Thickness Fixed Bridge Wrap Tails. One Is A 245 And The Other Is A Traditional Artist Model. The Pickups I Am Considering Are Suhr Aldrich, BKP Rebel Yells, BKP Black Dogs, Lollar Imperials. I Have All Of Those Pickups On Hand And Also In Other Similar Guitars And Am Happy Yet Have Kept These Stock To Be Different And Original. I Dislike Soldering So When The Mood Hits I Usually Go For It But Am Not Sure.

Should I Go For It Or Sleep It Off And Let It Be? If I Go For It, What Pickups In What Guitar Is The Next Hurdle. I Know They Will All Work And Sound Good But Not Settled On Which Ones To Put Into Each Guitar.

Thoughts?

I say go for it! Big fan of the Aldrich, and also BK. I've had Abraxas, and a Black Dog/Holydiver mixed set. Love their customer service and communication.

I Have Them In My Other Similar Models And Love Them. I Have A Bunch Of Brand New Pickup Sets In A Bin And You Know How It Goes From There...

I Just Need To Solidify Which Pickup Sets To Put In Each Of The Guitars And The Trouble Will Ensue.

I Am Throwing Those Into The Singlecut Artist. Easy Decision There As The Pickups Are Gold And I Have A Gold And A Silver Set Of Aldrich But Only Found The Gold Set. The Other Guitars Are Silver Covered Or Zebra Uncovered. Whatever I Replace The Zebra's With Will Be Covered.

I Have Some Wolfetone's In A Kauer Guitar And Like Them A Lot. They Aren't Marshallheads Though. I Do Like The Lollar Imperials In The Colling's Guitars I Have. I Am Thinking Of Throwing The Lollar's In The Singlecut Trem.

Of Course It Was A Lot Of Work For You...You Did It Wrong.

I Started Like That But Ran Out Of Brands, Models And Color Choices So I Am Going The Pick Route For A Few Remaining Stragglers.

So You Forum Ninnies Would Have Something To Get Riled Up Over And Complain About After You Ran Out Of Grey Poupon.

Had It Since My Keyboard Birth And Stopped Fixing It Because I Stopped Caring After All These Years. It Is A Great Revealer To Me Of The People Wh Are Set In Their Ways And Unable To Adapt To Reading Beyond The First Word Of Every Sentence And A Larger Majority Of Fixed Things On This Forum Than They Are Even Aware Of.

I'm not a weirdo or anything, and truly am only teasing you about it, but even after all this time, I can't get used to it. Something just "not right" about it. Maybe I'm just a backwards country boy. I'm sure if Julie Bowen did it, I'd be ok with it. HAHAHAHAHA
