BKP on Charvel San Dimas Polar White
« on: May 02, 2015, 10:57:21 AM »
Hi there!

i own a charvel san dimas polar white
this one :
 

i would like to give her BKP cream / aged Coils

i already have a Les Paul Custom 490/498 (for GNR, aerosmith playing) , and  a Jackson RR san dimas custom for metal playing (emg set)

i would like to put BKP on the charvel... for playing rock as foo fighter, green day, and other kind of (simple) rock.. i  wonder if the holy diver (in bridge position) would be the good choice for playing rock with this bolt on guitar?

also , may i need short or long leg ?

thanks everybody

cheers

I am guessing you will need short leg, 53mm spacing.

From what I remember from previous discussions Holy Divers would probably be a good choice here, but I'll let others comment on that.

Divers are a good choice, but have a look at the Crawler too. That does perform great in bolt-ons and has a huge sound.

The Holydivers would be perfect in this.

Short leg and 53mm spacing for the bridge pup.

Just to throw the cat amongst the pigeons - before Fender bought Charvel their superstrat line was called the Showmaster and after trying Crawler, A-bomb and VHii sets in mine I finally settled with an RY bridge / VHii neck combination. I'm not sure of the construction details of your Charvel but my Showmaster has a basswood body with a two point floating trem, maple set-neck and rosewood fretboard. Admittedly I didn't try the HD set and, before I tried the Rebel Yell,  I was worried that it would be too bright but I couldn't be more pleased with my RY/VHii combo.
