Title: pups for a home-built guitar
Post by: aisuru on June 10, 2007, 10:32:19 AM

right, we're building a guitar for Cpt. Circle-jack, will look roughly like this:

but only two pickups. it's going to be a 50mm thick mahogany body. the Captain is looking for a fairly broad range of tones - it has to do heavy metal but also jazz. we're thinking a Miracle Man neck and Warpig bridge.

any thoughts?

cheers.

What about warpig bridge with MQ neck?  The MQ gives you all the great P-90 tones and you can get some really nice jazz tones with the Warpig in parallel and the MQ together (I have this setup in a mahogany explorer).

also, since it's being scratch-built, what values of pots and caps would be good with such options?
