southpaw rocker Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 i'm building a Jem style guitar (I'll start as soon as I get some shop time) but I've been wondering about a pickup configuration. I'm going to use EMG pickups but I can't decide on a configuation. I'm thinking of putting a sustainer in too. i like too be weird so a couple of pup configs I've come with are HHS (s angled like the stephen carpenter ESPs), HXS, and SXS (bridge angled). I've also thought about a HxH with an 89 in the front and a 81 in the bridge. anyone had experience the 89? Then there's the HHH but that gets expensive with all the other stuff. all thought and suggestions are welcome because at this point, I'm going crazy Quote
Curtis P Posted July 7, 2004 Report Posted July 7, 2004 what about HSH and then a sustainer Curtis Quote
southpaw rocker Posted July 7, 2004 Author Report Posted July 7, 2004 you mean a sustainer in the front? well, this is the tricky part. I could do that but they (sustainiac) said they would want a mini humbucker to install with it. I don't know if they'll do EMG pickups (even thought they are all dual coil) I guess I could ask. Quote
