Blackguard Flat 50s VS Flat 52s (and Fender 51 Nocaster also)
« on: September 22, 2014, 09:09:32 PM »
Anyone here tried both (@Philking I'm looking at you) and care to do a quick comparison ? Are the 50s as lush and 3D sounding as the 52s ?
Have: Crawlers, BGF 50/52s, Mules, ABomb, RiffRaff
Had : Slowhands (n&m), Trilogy (b)

sorry - I was offline last week.  I like both, but in a different way.  The 50's have a big round fender sound that is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5aWd88rs6JE.  The 52's are this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDOIL5OqvYs, which I think is a great sound.  I have the 50's in a late 50's maple neck tele and a lap steel.  The 52's are in a MIJ 62 Rosewood neck, so they do sound a bit different because of that.
So many pickups, so little time
