Before you ask, the ESP is not mine.

H/S is king, I’ve got this, I’ve since replaced the bloated sounding ESP humbucker in the neck with a Suhr V60LP and put a Black Winter in the bridge. Sounds absolutely ridiculous.

It's my favorite combo as well...A Schecter Masterworks, ESP custom shop 7, Jackson.

Lol HS thread but most posts are of single coil-sized humbuckers in the neck. So is this an aesthetics thing only?

For true HS guitars, how do you guys get around the 250k/500k pots thing?

Most probably just use a 300K pot, but you can also use 500k pot with a 470k resistor on just the single coils so they see a 250k pot and the humbucker sees a 500k pot.

Man, I was born for this thread. I don't keep too many photos of mine around but love what's been posted so far!

98 % aesthetics, I rarely ever use the neck pickup except for cleans, which I prefer SCs for anyways. Didn’t bother changing out the pot as we tune to drop A#, I find the extra brightness from the 500K pot doesn’t really hurt.

Love natural wood guitars like that

Need to do a NGD for this.

I do like H-S setups also HSH and HH....

HS is the perfect config:
- Looks great.
- No hitting middle single or neck humbucker (if you have big hands)
- Enough versatility (specially if you split the bridge) for most people.

I'd love a 7-string version of this:

Me too.

HS is my favourite setup by far. I've never liked neck humbuckers for lead or clean, and I'm a huge neck single fan, so HS gives me everything I love and nothing I don't.
