haha don't start this again, we've have this debate before


I know. I'm just being silly. I really do hate those jags though. :lol:

I also feel like having humbuckers with coil tapping switches would give me a broader range of options and the ability to get a good single coil tone as well. I do wish it had a tremolo though...


If that's the case, you'll want to swap the humbuckers regardless. They're good, but like I said in my last post, they don't really sound like your normal HB's.

Plus, IIRC, they're ridiculously low-output. Like close to strat pickups. I think they usually weigh in at around 8k for the bridge and 6k for the neck.
They're not splittable, either, so you'd need a set of HB's that are splittable. Even if they were splittable, you'd be looking at 4k and 3k split. That's far less than even lipstick pups. :idk:

As far as the lack of trem, Bigsby B5's and B50's can be had for cheap. A vibramate mounting plate is like $50. Figure for $100 and *maybe* 10 minutes (including removing the tailpiece) of work you've got a trem.
