Cold Sweat/Trilogy Suite combo arrived!!
« on: September 20, 2005, 03:14:36 PM »
I think the postman was deliberately slow in arriving @ my shop yesterday, knowing he had my BKPs in his satchel!!!

Cold Sweat has a burnt chrome cover, and these pics really don't do it justice; I will need to take a pic outside where there is enough light to get the full effect. It's very reflective, but with this blue and orange burn pattern on it ... very cool!

The Trilogy Suite for the neck has a yellow cover, but Tim was kind enough to throw in a couple of more sedate covers as well, should I change my mind.





They are going into this guitar:



The Cold Sweat has the wider pole spacing, and it measures somewhere around 14.5k ... I think it will sit nicely somewhere between the Miracle Man and the VHII.

Tim feels it may be a bit bright, but I've always found the bridge pup (which was a JB) to be very muddy; so something to clean it up is in order. Plus, as HJM has pointed out, I'm a bit of an attack maven, so I doubt it will sound as bright to me as to others.

Still waiting for the neck; it's in the final stages of being built now.

The Cold Sweat is for the bridge, the Trilogy is for the neck; no middle pickup, as I don't use one. I'm going to install a 3 way switch with pos 3 being a kill position.

But! It'll look silly without a middle pickup and just a gap! At least put a dummy in or something!

I like the Cold Sweat, I'm starting to think I should take apart a couple of my pickups and try that!!

I think you should stick something in the middle, liek a dummy P/u of some sort, but hey, it's your guitar, not mine.  :D
