I've heard great things about their 36th PAF humbuckers too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm think ing black covers. mint cookie ice cream is what I'm think ing. Hmm, black covers with mint - that does remind me of one of my favorite ice creams. I'm still leaning towards a vintage look though, not sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IRG Posted January 9, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Is the virtual guitar builder on their site? I might have to check that out. I'm thinking either a MIM Lake Placid Blue, or the Artic White, rosewood board, mint green pickup cover, vintage color pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members IRG Posted January 9, 2012 Author Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Anyone familiar with Benson pickups in New York? Someone at TGP was making a list of strat pickups where a set is $100 or less. http://www.bensoncustom.com/Handwound-sets.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ZoomRmc Posted January 9, 2012 Members Share Posted January 9, 2012 Had Little '59 in one of my EBMM Silhouettes, had hot rails in some guitar installed too. Both didn't last long. I found them rather dull sounding. The only one that sounded ok for me were the vintage rails, much better than the Hot ones. Now I have Dimarzio Areas with addition of Virtual Vintage 54 Pro, VV Heavy Blues 2 and Injector pickups dropped in in various positions in all my strat-like guitars and I'm completely happy. They are all made with the same technology therefore sound very good combined. You just need to try different combinations to choose the right tone.
