I've seen people use it sarcastically but never known what it meant.
Helpful.
She doesn't even give genuine different situations where each one would be best, it's just different meaningless patter for each one but they're all great for rock and blues.
This is the SH-1b/SH-1n '59 pair. I largely agree with this suggestion except that I would perform a magnet swap on the neck/Rhythm position humbucker from Alnico 5 to Alnico 4. I also prefer the humbucker to be covered. Fortunately, SD now makes a pickup of this exact type named Saturday Night Special.
If American aftermarket pickups seem too expensive, Tonerider does an Alnico 4 humbucker and some slightly overwound models that might suit the bridge/Treble position. Then, of course, there are numerous makers in the British Isles to consider.
Much depends upon how raunchy you want the Dot to get. Anything is possible, from Larry Carlton to HarrySeven.
This comment invites the question, what would you suggest? Plug your products here, good sir.
I'm none the wiser though, I don't think I've ever played any guitars that were easier or harder to slide my fingers over the strings.
Unless it's to do with narrow fretboards so there's less distance between strings?
Or maybe just low action so the strings need to be pressed down less?
With a budget of a say £100 quid where should I be looking.
I’ve got an Epi Les Paul 100. Would it be worth dropping the Dots pickups into that?
Tonerider, or for UK handwound pups about in budget there's Fletcher Pickups and Regentone: this is mine with one of each
By failed, is it zero output? Or a dicky switch, does it make sound or noise in any of the positions? The switch will fish out of an f-hole, you can clean it with servisol and very fine wet&dry like 2000 grade, a swipe either side, per switch side, should clear gunk & oxidation.
The jack is less fun, the pots need to be freed before that will get to an f-hole. At least on mine.
I did the lot on mine, it wasn't that expensive. Fishing in a 335 is slow the first time but not too bad if you take it easy and plan a bit, make a template etc.
