Looked at the GB set.. seems to be an option as well. Apart from that stupid EMG wiring..

On it's own the QP in the 52P is quite brash and punchy, and the 64P on its own is warm, woody and quite subtle. But, in the mix (and for the type of music we do) they both have their place, and work well in context for certain songs.
Which is making me think, maybe I need a more subtle P, and a punchier J, or visa versa.. ?
Much better than a horrible pickguard all over the face of the body? Discuss ...
I’m a hard rock/metal kind of guy and I didn’t get on with it, preferred a standard P pickup if I’m honest. It did sound pretty good but just I prefer the more vintage P sound.
So it just needs a nice tortoiseshell guard (and the right knobs) to sort it out, really .

If you cut a second rout in the traditional position, the combined cavities might accommodate a Dual J pickup or a Stingray type.
The position is the "trad" position for what would have been 3.75" spacing - as opposed to the standard (now) 4". As it's away from the bridge a bit more, it should give the J pickup a bit more volume for balance.
I'm not really a "J" purist - always been firmly in the P camp, so not looking for trad J tones - I suspect that 80% of the time the blend control will be on 100% P, with the J being used from time to time to add a bit more tonal variation. Not sure there will be too many occasions when I'll use just J either - but you never know..

Plus, I have the impatience of a saint..
So, neck on and strap buttons on:
That seems to have come together really quickly.
Hopefully there'll be another build thread started towards the end of next week.
After that, yes, it will be ready. I'm leaning towards the dimarzios at the moment. I'll let you know what they are like either way ready for your pickup choice
