Abraxas in Rg?

[m t soule]

What do you guys reckon?
Abraxas bridge, crawler neck in basswood rg?

Abraxas bridge should be fine.

Is this a 24 fret guitar? In that case I would consider the VHII neck.

The Abraxas and Crawler neck models are pretty much the same anyway, though the VHII is certainly different. Another option you might consider is the Holydiver neck, which is a very light wind but the AV magnet and more modern wire help to give it a bit more articulation.

I already own the Cr neck lying round and was looking for a good match for it.
It seems i wasnt far of with the abraxas then!
The vhii would be a very different feel to a crawler which is fat n round.

Im going to using the guitar (yes 24 fret) to experiment with. Things like altered tunings, dropped tunings, ambinent sounds. Nothing too aggressive but keeps that option open a little.

Spec-wise they are similar but they do sound different. Abraxas is noticeably brighter. I had them back to back in the same guitar.

I was talking about the neck pickups - both AWG 42 plain enamel and A4 magnets, Crawler neck being wound a bit hotter going by DC resistance. I would not have expected the Abraxas neck to be a lot brighter than the Crawler neck but it was in that particular guitar I had both in.

At least in my rig, they sound almost identical except the Crawler is higher output.  Different woods or amps may skew the sound as well.

I took the plunge on the abraxas bridge.
Wow......never expected any of that.
Its brilliant........
