I have a new guitar :) I love it and I am surprised that the JB works well in this guitar (I have had troubles in the past with this pickup). Though, I want to take the wonderful advice of the wonderful Peter Diezel and try a medium/low output pickup in this guitar with my VH4 and I was thinking the "new" Seymour Duncan 59/Custom hybrid. I believe its output is around 10-11k and a lot of people love this pickup a lot. What do you guys think? Good match for this guitar (see specs below)? Think it will work out well for a heavier style of rock/almost metal?

Specs of guitar:
BODY: (Top) Ash, (Back) Mahogany NECK: Hard Maple 3P FINGERBOARD: Rosewood , 24frets INLAY: Dot, Cross at 12fret SCALE: 648mm (Long) NUT: Bone JOINT: Set-neck BRIDGE: Tune-matic / Tailpiece PICKUPS: (Front) Duncan SH-1n (Rear) Duncan SH-4 CONTROL: Master Volume , Master Tone Mini Toggle PU Selector
 
How dare I forget a picture :aww:

Just try it man. The worst thing that can happen is that you wont like it and you can sell it. Pickups can easily make or break a guitar, so I'd hold onto the JB no matter what you try because it works well in that guitar and you can always go back to it as a reference.

That is true. I just hope it works out well. Seymour Duncan builds great stuff :)
 
I can personally attest that the JB works fantastic with the VH-4...easily one of my favorite pickups... no offense to Papa himself but the JB really ISN'T a high output pickup... so I wouldn't just go replacing it if you already like the sound... at some point we have to stop tone chasing and just play... if you dig it, then just jam brother!

$1500 man! including import costs an all that from Japan haha.

It is officially my favorite guitar and I went out on a limb buying it cause I wasn't able to try it before hand.
