For those of you who have the Phase 1's and are looking to get better pickup rings, Dave at Fretsonthenet made some up for me. They look fucking great, too. Pretty sure he can do other colors.

My friend got his axe trashed friday night at a gig. A platinum hellraiser broken in many peices!! So saturday when UPS arrived he sold me his custom order platinum colored Duncan phase II blackouts!!!. i have not got the c-7 i am thinking about using them in but i put a set of phase I blackouts in a jem and they had a better all around tone then most of the emg's i have played or heard. i have not played the 707's yet!! the Phase I fit the jem perfect but will the Phase II fit the C-7 just as smoothly???

As long as you call him uncle seymour!!! Hell he got me an Alt 8 sh-15 prototype last august and it didnt come out till 2,08. That things bad ass too man!!

so you put 7 string Blackouts in a 6 string? do you mean Universe instead of Jem? Phase I and Phase II only applies to the 7 string Blackouts.

if the C-7 has EMGs already, the Phase IIs are a direct replacement . if not, you will have to route.

I fitted blackouts (phase I) to my BC Rich warlock P7 a few weeks ago and there was absolutely no problem with sizing, they fitted straight out of the box. However the pots were 0.5mm too big in diameter so i had to drill out the existing holes- a minor hitch.

i have an ibanez rg1527. i bought the phase 1 blackouts for them and now the guy whos doing the job for me is saying that they wont fit because the cavity for the pickups isnt deep enough. he said that routing out the cavity might jeopardize playability.
any suggestions?..
i was thinking of putting the phase 2 blackouts in since they're not as deep and routing sideways instead.

How the hell would it jeopardise playability?

He needs to route down 5~6mm.

Then you can have it like this:

@stitch
it seems under the neck pickup cavity there is a support piece for the neck which he said he will have to route into there by destabalizing the neck. i dont know how true this is cos he may not know what that peice is actually for. is that a rg 1527 btw cos ive never seen it in that colour.
thanks a ton for the snaps man .this is really going to help cos now i can show him this and ask him what the hell was he thinking...
