Members studdhuss Posted April 11, 2018 Members Share Posted April 11, 2018 What a match.I waited months to jump in, but I simply couldn't be happier with the outcome.Thorn did a Knock-Out job on this pickup.I couldn't be more thankful, especially for the gold staplesbut it picks so effortlessly, and likes to honk a bit.Tone. That's what I was seeking[img2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/891\/41334981182_4a8d6fffa1_z.jpg"}[/img2][img2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/892\/41377055541_2efd7c4724_z.jpg"}[/img2] [img2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/798\/41377053271_fbdc1407e5_z.jpg"}[/img2]The bridge conversion seems to make the guitar sound fuller[img2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","src":"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/816\/41334973412_a81077ff5b_z.jpg"}[/img2] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members studdhuss Posted April 12, 2018 Author Members Share Posted April 12, 2018 Thanks.I don't think there's another Epiphone done quite like itbut for me it was what I wanted after viewing so many pictures and listening to video examples of '55 Customs that had the pickup.I think my biggest concern was how it would fit.The bridge conversion has convinced me that all of my Epiphone guitars need one. Big difference in sound+sustain, though I'm not sure why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mrbrown49 Posted April 12, 2018 Members Share Posted April 12, 2018 Wow, that is lovely. Did you have to mod the cavity at all to fit that in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members studdhuss Posted April 12, 2018 Author Members Share Posted April 12, 2018 Wow, that is lovely. Did you have to mod the cavity at all to fit that in? Thanks! It's a drop in replacement. There was nothing required to be routed out for it. No digging required I had my eyes on a Duncan Custom Staple, but was only made aware of the underside once I looked on EBay. I was told there's possibly enough clearance once the original was removed but really didn't want to risk it, and the Thorn GT-90 sounds great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
