A few years back I disfigured my RG1527 to fit EMGs to it. I since went back to my DiMarzios but thought the guitar forever tainted. This *could* steal me over to the Duncan camp and I'd be a sad panda if at least DiMarzio didn't join you in this venture.

The vid with Tosin might put a damper on everyone spaffing over H-S and H-S-S 8s, as he runs through the wiring you'll notice he doesn't have a position on the 5 way that uses the middle pickup on its own, so I'd imagine it's not designed to sound amazing on its own and it's mostly their for...

Pics of the PRS pups? I'm tempted to yank the Dragon IIs out of my CE-22. EDIT- just spotted US only; never mind.

PM Incoming re: evo neck.

I have one in my 30" OLP tuned reet down and I think it sounds great. Doubly amazing in the "Petrucci" middle position with a D Sonic. With the heavier strings tuned down it sounds really jazzy yet defined.

I had quite Sykesy results with PAF pros.

Ah yes, you could! Didn't think about that. A standard 5 way generally is like the top line of the superswitch.

Ah, must have had a mute on, went and deleted the file. Damn.

My love for the H-S look led me to buy an RGR465M. Belting guitar. Tonewise they're just humbuckers, there's a tiny difference in tone with the coils covering less space on the string, but they are voiced accordingly. The air norton S in the RGR sounds very close to the standard 6 and 7 versions...

Amp settings? The super 3 is really low middy and bassy, whereas the JB's got more upper mid and treble - it might just be that your ear's really used to the old sound.

On the superswitch you only need two of the banks. Hook pole 2 up to your tip, pole 4 to your ring, then connect the hot wire of each pickup to the 1 contact of each of the poles, connect 2,3,4,5 of those to the ground. Bit of a waste of a superswitch but it'll do the job! Swap 5 for 1 if...

Just like the other two, first thing that came to mind was to change the nut.

What he said. The superswitch is a great switch because of how easy and simple it makes stuff! If you're asking what I think you're asking though you could just get away with a DPDT toggle.....

I'm currently using the DA/AN combo in my RG1527. Loving it.

Sorry to drag the thread off topic, but is that not the reason a tubescreamer is great?

I don't know about anyone else but the times I've (albeit inadvertently) wired pickups out of phase it sounded terrible. YMMV, of course.

That'll be because you've got two north coils running. You'll need a north and a south for it to be hum cancelling, I think.

Well that's a relief, saves a lot more cocking about! Think I might have misread the situation there.

Ooh, I've also got an EMG 81-7 that I can trade too. EDIT- and a Seymour Hot Rails neck model.
