Title: PU for 7 string LP baritone
Post by: cpnhowdy on August 12, 2009, 05:00:07 AM

I recently got a new LP copy from Agile
its a 7 string 27 inch baritone
mohogany body, ebony fretboard, 5 ply maple/mohogany neck
through a PODXT connected to various PAs/amps so I rely on POD amp modeling alot.

This thread describes exactly what I am looking for in tone

"open and organic drive. Well balanced. Singing leads but no harshness. Vital open chord clarity with rich harmonic consistency and a savagely tight low end."

I was thinking of getting a Rebel Yell bridge paired with a VHII neck ( I really like the "brown sound" they deliver)
Will that combo play nicely with the low B? I want it to be snappy and not muddy.
Or would a CS bride and a Mule neck be more fitting for that guitar?

Cant wait to try out some BKPs

Roo swears by BDs for his baritone, despite his preference for hotter pickups.
