The new pickups are much better and tighter than their old ones. I used the same patch I setup for my other guitars (AHB-3 and DiMarzio Illuminator pickups) and I did not have to change much. It still sounded heavy and aggressive. The coil tapping with the 5 way switch gives me a wider range of sounds. I love it!
Love the top on this one, Keisel is really cranking out some cool stuff Nice guitar man! Although I think I would have done a natural finish on the back with a tung oil finish on the back of the neck.
Oh man. I figured that was a 3 way pickup selector. So, the 5 positions are something like
(1) Bridge pickup humbucker
(2) Bridge pickup tapped for single coil
(3) Both pickups in hum / single (?)
(4) Neck pickup tapped for single coil
(5) Neck pickup humbucker
Is that correct?
Me either. I love having options, but those push pull knobs never did it for me. My DC150 had a three-way pickup selector, plus a pair of coil tap switches, plus a phase switch. It was pretty flexible, but looked like a science project. I think having all that neatly on the 5-way switch is much more elegant.No push pull knobs. I never cared for them.
