Title: Stormy Monday or Mule?
Post by: dasfonzie on May 24, 2006, 10:40:54 PM

I'm building a Super Strat style guitar. It's made of swamp ash and has a Floyd Rose route and a maple/rosewood neck. I'm puttng a hybrid Seymour Duncan in the bridge (Custom/59 w/ an alnico 2 mag). I want a vintage style HB in the neck. I'm leaning towards an Alnico 4 mag since I like a hollowish sound that I get from an Alnico 5, but something a little closer to an Alnico 2, so the 4 sounds right.

ANYWHO... Has anyone put either of these pickups in a similar guitar? Do you think I should go with the Mule since it's a little higher output? The bridge pickup will be around 11.5k. Aside from the DC Resistance what it the main difference between these pickups?

Thank you.
