I think that was just what GuitarIV was wanting to do when he bought the Miracle Man/Sinner HSS set off me. He seems well pleased with it  :D

To be honest Sinners would be far way too much.
While building Warmoth Tele body, you have an option and can put any kind of pickup in, Im still confused between TS neck and IT neck.
On the one hand Irish Tour remains and keeps that woodiness of Mother`s Milk but don`t know if it would cope with leads as good as Trilogy Suit would.
In that case clean sound is really important. Metal-ish area I have well covered with other guitar.
And this one with Crawler bridge and IT/TS neck has to cover mainly clean tone leading up to Blues, Rock at the most.

So correct me if Im wrong,
IT-woodiness (yesss! 8)) and nicer cleans
TS-better dealing with distortion and leads

Which one then in your opinion would suit better to Crawler bridge in brighter guitar then?
Or IT with baseplate? As far as I know it gives more power as well as output.

Many thanks,

TBH, if it was me, I'd try the Slowhand as it seems to be a bit thicker than the Irish Tour and a bit more of a step between vintage and modern; in other words, very similar to what the Crawler does. I've never tried the combo but I get the impression it would work and suit me. As for the Irish Tour/ Trilogy Suite issue, I think your synopsis is probably about right.

Well, if Slowhands is something in-between that probably would work the best.
I would want to keep a little bit of both, that woodiness and twang of IT and  amazing lead tones of TS.
Just wondering how much of that vintage-ish aspect Trilogy Suit has, or it`s completely modern without that sparkle?

On the other hand, Slowhand doesn`t seem to be very popular among the players, there`s not many youtube clips or anything like that.

Never been able to understand that as I've always much preferred the Slowhand clips to Irish Tours, though I'm not a typical single coil user. Look in the Players section.
