Title: VH II in my new custom guitar
Post by: rockguitarstar on September 13, 2006, 10:49:10 PM
Hey guys, this is my first post and I just wanted to say that for my new custom made guitar being made for me by a local luthier here in California, I ordered an open poled, f-spaced black VH II for the bridge pickup.  The specs on the guitar are alder rear routed strat body, humbucker in the bridge, single coil in the neck both pickups are direct mounted to the body, the neck pickup is the Sustainiac plus, non-floating Schaller Floyd Rose with EVH D-tuna, single 500k "tone" pot, Unfinished maple neck with Wolfgang standard profile and oversized 70's esque headstock.  After all the good things I've heard about the VHII Im excited to get my hands on one in mid-october when I get the guitar.

Looking forward to the review of the BKP and guitar  :twisted:  I want to get a set of VH 2's myself, just haven't found the right guitar. Who's making the guitar if you don't mind my asking.   8)

The people that are making it are CBPERKINS, their website is CBPERKINS.com, on the neck pickup comment, I really wanted to put a BK in the neck, but I've been digging on the sustainer thing lately and honestly I have a Wolfgang that needs a new neck pickup and Im looking at BKs for that.

The VHII in a super strat is a great choice! It has an amazing, hot PAF type of tone; lots of push, but not really 'metal' sounding.

The VHII is the best bridge pickup i've ever heard in my life... If I had to only use one pickup for the bridge of a guitar ever again it would be the VHII.

It's fat!, it screams, it's full of harmonics, it growls, it crys and it cleans up really damn well.. it's fantastic!
