Please help me!!! I wanna change the Gotoh humbuckers from a japanese 1985 "Sanox" to something really powerful.
The guitar is a neck-thru-body superstrat: the neck is a 5 ply maple/mahogany/maple/mahogany/maple,
The body is quite light made of alder or ash (i dunno), rosewood fingerboard, string thru body, brass nut, brass/stainless steel saddles Hipshot bridge, Schaller locking tuners with the fathead in the back of the headstock. Stringed 11/56
I pulled off all the tone and volume pots to have no hi freq filters from them. There's a phase/out of phase switch, an on/off switch instead of the volume and 2 coil tap switches (that maybe i will pull off). The control cavity is being copper shielded.
I'm in search of the heaviest and loudest passive pickups possible, i love when the guitar goes in feedback fast. I do noise, heavy/punk and experimental. i'd like to have endless sustain and fast response at the same time and a scary distortion.
I'm thinking about the Warpig calibrated set, (ceramic and uncovered for more output, but i like the raw/aged nickel covers a lot), or a Nailbomb for the neck and a Warpig for the bridge, just to have two more different sounds. I do love both Nailbomb and Sabbath eheheh.
Is it possible to not have the wax potting inside the pickups? What can happen without wax? They go faster in feedback? Please tell me what do you think about it and what kind of pickup your suggest. Every help will be very appreciate.
Thank you!!!
