NGD - Flat 50s installed
« on: March 13, 2015, 01:41:05 PM »
Finally had time to install the Flat 50 set in my American Special tele - really cool rock tones :) I would not have believed that you can get tele twang with lots of bass and mids, the bridge pu is thick but bites like a real hot tele.

SG is also loaded with Cold Sweat at the bridge and MQ at the neck. Interestingly I had to really fool around with the PU hights as the MQ has tons and tons of bass and seems to have a higher audible output than the coldsweat at the same hight.
Nevertheless I am very happy about both guitars they both have a very organic, thick rock sound with the distinctive tele and SG sound there as well. Many many many thanks to BKP for their excellent PUs and even better customer service! :)

Good looking axes there with a nice choice of PUs. Congrats!

The MQ really canīt be underestimated, like most P90s really. It might be a single coil, but the magnet is really big and strong. What I love is that it stays so clear, open, and uncompressed with such big output.

Yep, thumbs aloft from me too. A great looking pair and by the description, classics in their delivery of tone. Tele and SG are two of the best guitar tones to be had.

If I may ask: how is the neck ?
