Greetings,

I have been looking at the hss sets, and was looking at the Stormy Monday set specifically.

This set is listed as a Stormy Monday and two Apaches with A IV and A III magnets respectively.

I had been looking at the Stormy Monday A II and was wondering if the Sultans in A II would work, or if there is a reason for choosing the pre-configured Stormy/Apache set?

I am aware that Tim knows his stuff, but I don't and was looking for more info.

Thanks! :)

Oh I think they may work fine. Typically the sets are created with the interested of the best match and volume and tone in mind.

That said I got a Nailbomb with Trilogy Suites (broke set) because they seem to stay smoother with gain and have rich harmonics... that and I'd like to get a strat and if/when I do, I already know what pickups that will get - Irish Tours for the fat strat / SRV tones ;)

Well, Sultans will probably go better with a Stormy Monday than with a Miracle Man :lol: - my first BKP order was for my first Warmoth strat, MM bridge/Sultans mid & neck (they have a really sweet clean sound BTW) - but switching to pos #1 on the selector gives me this INSANE jump in volume :lol: - that was kind of what I had in mind when I ordered, but it is possible to have too much of a good thing :) The Holy Diver/Irish Tour set on my korina strat is much better balanced.

In other words, I can't think of a reason why not, but then I don't own a Stormy Monday. YMMV etc...

They'll sit together nicely-all Alnico II and a good balance of volume and tone.

Thanks for the info.

Now.....

How to convince my wife that "Yes, honey. That guitar has always been here." :roll:

I think she is starting to suspect.

not the best idea, then she might decide to clean the house and throw it away
