A bit to spiky bright compared to the Black Dogs was my thinking on that, even though I like RRs.

Just to close this one off, I ummed and ahhed about what to put in the middle for ages but I've just ordered a Mule.  I decided against the parallel wiring option as I think it'll cut the output too much, so I've gone for a slightly weaker, more balanced and 'neutral' full humbucker.  I can always switch it to the neck and put the BD in the middle (wired in parallel) if I fancy mixing it up a bit.

Job done - I think you won me over Philly, as did a quick call to BKP  ;)

Cool!  And are you going for alternating black/cream coils?  :)

Good choice. I love (my) Mules.

Sorted.  It sounds fantastic, job done.  This guitar really suits the BDs/Mule, a bit like my old Epi SG suited Riff Raffs.

Result!  :D

That looks cool! Lovely guitar, but I still find it a bit "weird" to see a 3 pickup LP style guitar. Please throw us some clips  :D Uhh... Some clips through your 65 Imperial!!!

I can't really do clips at home as I don't have the gear, let alone in a flat - sorry guys  :(

Normally I don't like three humbucker guitars but that one looks awesome.

Enjoy!

I'm not sure if I'd like them in practical terms - just because the middle pickup might "get in the way" - but I think they nearly always look extremely cool.  

Ace Frehley, Peter Frampton, Hendrix's SG.... I even liked the HHH Strat the guy from the Spin Doctors used to play (matching headstock too!)

I always though the middle pickup would ghet in the way too Phil, and at first I hit it a couple of times but soon got used to it.

I think it looks pretty cool now, and the BKPs have transformed the tone.  The Classic '57s sounded completely cack in this guitar - the previous owner must have been cloth ear deaf or very disappointed with his pickup swap  :roll:

Wow - you got it all sorted out quickly - I only posted you the pickup in the middle of the week

Glad that it worked out so well!
