Title: Mississippi Queen in HSS guitar.
Post by: Lucifuge on July 30, 2010, 10:29:21 PM

I've recently been thinking about the idea of putting a Mississippi Queen in the bridge of my Yamaha Pacifica 604W, but I'm wondering if the different spacing would cause a problem; the guitar has a Wilkinson tremolo, and as far as I know the MQ is only available in standard spacing.

Also, what single coils would you recommend for neck + middle that would be balanced with the MQ - I'm assuming something fairly hot like Irish Tours or Slowhands.

It would fit fine, and I would go for ITs personally, but I dont have much experience with the BK singles.

In the "pimp my pacifica" article by Guitar magazine (or something like that, can't really remember) one of the pacificas got treated to a MQ bridge and Mothers Milk in middle and neck. The guitar was aimed at blues, but i'm sure it would be able to rock as well.
