Holy shit, were you ever right.

eaeolian · 03-10-2008, 09:47 PM

Hmm. OK, I guess I'll be hearing this on Thursday...

noodles · 03-10-2008, 09:58 PM

Well, I just changed the strings on the V, so I don't want to play it before the show. Suffice to say the darkness and mud are gone. Like, way gone. Into next fucking week.

Plus, I'm bringing the Sii-7 Thursday, since I'm having so much damn fun playing it.

Is it easy to change a magnet?

D-EJ915 · 03-10-2008, 10:12 PM

how high is the output on it? That's my only reservation about getting the custom and putting he A8 in it...I like my pickups hot

That SII-7 has the X2N in it right? Can you compare the outputs?

Piece of cake. I had enough lead on my bridge pickup that I could do it without having to desolder the pickup from the guitar. You just have to pop off the baseplate, pull out the old pickup, and put the new one in. Just make sure that you keep the same polarity.

The Custom is known for being hot. It may not be as hot with the A8 as the ceramic, but it is still really hot. Not X2N hot, but to me the X2N sacrifices tone for heat.

Actually, the Sii-7 has a Wolfetone rewound JB7 in it. Rob shipped it sans pickup, since I knew exactly what I wanted to put into it. The Custom with the A8 is much hotter than the stock JB7, and loads hotter than this.

Ahh alright sounds cool, I might pick one up for my H-207 afterall.

There's a million threads on it, Nick.

We've all posted pics and how easy it is a ton of times.

It's very, very easy.

The only thing that could make it hard, is that sometimes the magnet gets really stuck in the was. even then it only takes a few minutes to do from beginning to end
