HS pickup config appreciation thread

[mystix]

I absolutely love my HS guitars... can't get enough of them. Post pics of your HS guitars!

Honorable mention!!!

Not strictly HS style but I put H/P90 in all of my HH style guitars. I don't own any currently but still have my Avedissian/BKP set for the next one.

Definitely a good look. I only have one in my Caparison but it's a good setup. Pretty sure it's also a single sized humbucker but whatever.

Spiro Dussias on Instagram has had me gassing for a Horizon-I, and I've had my Custom 24-08 set up as an HS guitar since I bought it - I just don't find myself using a neck HB for anything much anymore.

I've reached out to see what a HS Private Stock Custom 24 would cost... still waiting to hear back.

H/S is great, especially when they’re angled

HS is the perfect config:
- Looks great.
- No hitting middle single or neck humbucker (if you have big hands)
- Enough versatility (specially if you split the bridge) for most people.

I'd love a 7-string version of this:

How were pretty much all HS guitars posted in this thread actually HH

My HS tele sounds great in middle position. Not so much neck position...one of these days I'm gonna throw a P90 in there but still HS technically!

Love the look, dont own one.

I think they're super cool looking, but I never play mine and often forget I even have it

I've been thinking about doing that lately. I don't want to enter that rabbit hole with my existing guitars, but I might do so in the future if the herd grows.

Always wanted one. But with a real bucker in the bridge.

Don't own this anymore, but it was definitely sick

 

[oracles]

Don't own this anymore either, but was also cool

 

[oracles]

Sold this as well

Never took pics of the one I had, I moved it so quickly (it was not good)

Not exactly HS, but humbucker bridge with a coil sized bucker neck... plus a 2 pole pickup in the middle with its own circuit that goes to an octave pedal for guitar + bass sounds. Would that count since the middle pickup is not part of the guitar side?

It's a cheap Yamaha EG112CG I was experimenting on.

Curious why it wasn't good. I have the amethyst model. Bought it used and it did need a few touches but it's a cool guitar. I've seen several of these in various colors at pretty low used prices lately so I'm curious why people are offloading them.
