Interesting. Don’t know how I missed that after all these years of drooling over them.

Although I love 59/09 in the neck position I have to admit I love both sets..... Like salt and pepper, gotta have both You need another guitar
There you go!....... Now, Flip them around LOLI love the 57/08 neck with 59/09 bridge combo. I did that in the HB Spruce.
got any sound demos with that combo? Especially in HB !! I'd love to hear themI love the 57/08 neck with 59/09 bridge combo. I did that in the HB Spruce.

Just having a little fun since I really like 5909 in neck. not really telling you what to do.Why would I flip them? 57/08 neck is great and so is the 59/09 treble. They are both the OG ones. Backs read “1957/2007 and 1959/2009”
That sounds interesting!Ahhhh gotcha. Lol! I was thinking, am I missing something???
I have the matching treble to the 57/08 neck. I want to get another Vela and put it in the bridge with a Firebird neck eventually.
That sounds interesting!
I'm enjoying the 58/15LT TCI's in my new HBII/Piezo and the 594HII. I'll PM you my number if and when you have some time maybe you can record and text... strum some chords and pick some licks so I can hear your 5708N and 5909B set up. Doesn't have to be long.I haven’t had 58/15’s, but I have had 2 sets of 58/15LT’s. I look at 58/15LT’s like high-def 57/08’s.
I haven’t tried them in the HB. I just swapped out the Archtops for the new setup and it does everything I want.
I just picked up a CU22 with 57/08's and compared them to my '09 Experience guitar. The 57/08's are warmer and not as hot as the 59/09s. I'm still comparing them and need to adjust the pickup/pole heights a little, but when I played the guitars side by side through my preamp, there was a clear difference in tone and drive. I may swap the out the 57/08 treble for the 59/09 and see what that combo sounds like. Love having options.
