brentrocks Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 The stock Schaller pickups were just not getting it done in my H 357 Firebird. A good friend of mine had a Seymour Duncan INVADER bridge laying around and said i should try it, that it was a great sounding pickup. This Invader meters at 16.6 ohms. Then to top it off, i found an old Duncan JB neck! Since i was tearing into it, I decided to put all new 500k CTS pots in it and .022 Russian PIO caps in it too. What a huge difference in tone...not muddy, like the Schallers were in this guitar. This guitar is pretty dark sounding as it is....because it is all mahogony. The Invader is a great Rock pickup! Wonderful note definition, very pick responsive. The JB neck is EXTREEMLY FAT...creamy and warm! These 2 are a great combo!!!! :-) Here are a couple shots....and a new family shot....

FredZepp Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Dang..... nice family portrait there. I can see why you have a reduced GAS level, there are many there that are inviting guitars to grab and play. And the changes to the 357 should make it a rocker...

Number8 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 I like the rugged look of that puppy. You should leave the pick-guard. Looks gritty and mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
