Post by: bulb on September 11, 2008, 08:18:47 PM
Hey guys, i just acquired this:
http://www.scottfrench.com/s/Gallery/Finished%20Customs/Paul%20Sapata%27s%20SF3%20Guitar

And i want to switch the bridge pup out.
The body is swamp ash, the top claro walnut, and the neck is flame maple/wenge with a ebony fretboard.

What would you guys reccomend? 

here is my music for reference:

Funky!

I think I like it, but I'm not 100% sure.

Yeah, I think I'm probably coming down on the side of like it.

Don't think I can help with your pickup query though, sorry!

It would be such a shame to let those Swinesheads go to waste though. If it doesn't give the right sound, you could perhaps send it in for a rewind rather than a full swap.

Word

Swinsheads are actually really good (tonally, anyway - they're pretty cheaply made). And the wood covers go really well with that top.

I second re-wind. Youre gonna have some pretty unique pickups if you do that, and it'll cost less.
