A couple weeks ago, this box from Seymour Duncan showed up:
Inside was a new custom neck pickup. I stayed up all night putting it in my guitar (I also took the opportunity to completely shield and rewire it), and it sounds killer now!
Huge thanks to the great folks over at Seymour Duncan!
You may also notice that those strings are bronze wrapped. It’s an experiment, but so far I like it. It’s a darker sound than nickel/steel, closer to pure nickel. Definitely worth a try if you’re looking for a new sound (it also looks super sharp with gold hardware).
