Guys, many thanks, I appreciate your help, I`m really grateful!

I don`t want to risk, after days spending on making a decision, I followed your advice and decided on HOLYDIVER. It is much safer bet, especially for Telecaster. You were right.

One last question,
as I want to put HSP90 into neck position, how Supermassive neck would balance with HD? would it work fine together?

I would think that would be ok - might be worth dropping an email to BKP before you order just to check that they think it matches ok with the HD. Looks about right from the output point of view  :grin:

the black dog has plenty of out put but not enough for me. its a little bright but so is my guitar. the leads sing on high bends and everything sounds legit, just not as much output as i wanted. but im in drop G on a 7 string and it djents, it floats, cleans are great, even split. just a little too bright in this guitar and i want just a little more output on palmutes - the open stuff snarls.
