I have an old EMG-81 (non quick connect) and old SA in the neck of my Charvel Model 5FX right now. I also have a newer 85 but the end was clipped so it can be sautered in.
The 81 just don't sound good in that guitar and tried the 85 before that and had decent low end but the highs got lost? I'm currently looking for a different EMG bridge pickup to match with the SA.
I just got to thinking about maybe having a Partscaster built once I get some funds saved up. I also have an 80's black Floyd Rose Original, just the trem no lock nut.
Maybe a Hum, Hum mahogany Strat or Super Strat body already routed for an original floyd and put the EMG 81 and 85 in it with a 3-way blade switch and either 1 or 2 volume controls and 1 tone control like an unloaded ESP LTD, Jackson or Ibanez RG guitar?
What are your thoughts?
