nice guitar...
But I prefer the amber one on the background!!!!

I would say the same. But you might well change your mind if you'd play them both.

Yeha, sweet Cat you got there!

Anyone got any idea what that neck pickup in my Charvel would be?

The only one I could find on the duncan site that looks like this would be a YJM Sig?

It has 12.6KOhm on my MM

Does it hum? If not, it might be an STK1 or 4, that seems to be the default single coil for recent Charvels and Jacksons.
Other than that, I wouldn't have a clue...

I don't have a cab here, so I can't test LOL

But I think it didn't hum

The STK1 or 4 however don't seem to have the same base plate as mine (rounded off with the four wires, see the body pic)

It's definitely a stack, as you can see by the 4 wires.  DC resistance does look about right for the YJM.

They've updated their stack range quite a lot, though, I see - I was only really familiar with the old Classic and Hot Stacks.

I'm in the same camp as Philly - not quite my thing - but looks like a fine beast.

And I like the blue even if it's not come out as good in the pics as it should.

Nice one... :D

It's a little bit like the superstrat I put together and spray-painted about 25 years ago.  :)

It was that very era - around '87/'88 I think.  :)

The neck on that guitar's quite interesting, it's made of loads of thin strips of maple laminate so it's probably as much glue as wood, and the fingerboard's some kind of synthetic ebony, like a Steinberger - no dead spots at all!  It sounded rubbish with the original pickup (a DiMarzio MegaDrive), but not too bad with the Duncan Custom that's in the picture.

Never really got it into a properly playable state, though.  I had to convert the neck pocket to take the 24-fret neck, which went OK, and I managed to recess the Floyd successfully, but the Floyd studs were the old fashioned type which screwed straight into the wood and they kept tilting forward.  I hated trying to set that thing up.   Gave up in the end, but I've still got it somewhere.
