Hey guys, I hope to have a little money in pocket near october and I have been thinking about putting a middle pup in my jem (possibly changing the neck even though I just put a liquifire in it last christmas hah). I realize most of you guys are metalheads but I figured maybe someone will have an idea.
What I am looking for is liquifire like tone in full humbucking mode but I want to try and get some nice mid+neck, or mid only strat sounds, sort of gilmour-esqu but I'd also like to get a nice SRV type grind too (him and zappa got me into guitar, never looked back).
I've heard gilmour sometimes uses mid only and I know srv liked bridge+mid and neck+mid for his tones half the time. (his 13's helped, I use to play them on my strat but I only have ibanezes with light gauges atm and I'm craving for some strat tone lately)
Are there any pups you can suggest? I was looking at some bare knuckles or suhr but any pup will do, possibly even making the jem H-S-S but I do like that liquifire tone. Also I realize my 1 500k on my jem will affect the tone as well so I'm willing to wire in crazy things to get a diverse set of sounds.![Headbang :hbang: :hbang:](http://www.sevenstring.org/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/hbang2.gif)
I may try and pickup a cheap mexistrat and just fix it up but that all depends on how much spare money I have later in the year. Also I sorta hate dealing with vintage trems and nuts. Also I doubt a mexistrat neck will like me going back to 13's so I'll prolly have to do like 11's hah.
