Now i just cant decide on which finish i should go for :S

What do you think would suit a Single humbucker gibson flying v?

balanced choice in a V. tight too, for a PAF

Well im getting second thoughts on the riff raff choice. I tried the exact same guitar with a SD pearly gates in the bridge, and it was WAY too skinny for the sound i wanted. I want the pickup to be tight, but not fizzy, and should have enough bottom end to suit my needs. Im still thinking about the Black dog or maybe another a5 warpig. But the warpig is not tight enough for the staccato but the tone is full enough, and voiced the way i like. But it has too much gain too.

So if the riff raff is as skinny as the pearly gates, then its a no-no.

you can always do an A5 mule if you're worried about a riff raff sounding thin

isnt that more or less a black dog?

No, the Black Dog uses a different type of wire in the pickup coils.

If anything, an AV Mule is closer to the Riff Raff itself.... I think the main difference may be that the Mule has an "offset" wind (different numbers of turns of wire on each coil) whereas the Riff Raff has more of a balanced/symmetrical wind.

Cool bro.
Do you guys have any idea how i could get a pickup voiced similar to the warpig, just with less output and a tad tighter?

ask Tim to wind you one like that?

[Madsakre]

Either that, or sending me his whole pickup range, so i could try them all out. :P

1. What makes you think the RiffRaff would be similar to the Pearly Gates????

2. Black Dog would be a good choice IMO.

1. I Dont know, i just tried the pearly gates in my guitar because i could. I know the gates is alnico II. but still.

2. I kinda lean to a black dog too. But well.. i could order both, bare knuckles are not hard to sell again.

Though if Tim says RiffRaff there is probably a reason why.
