Thanks Carl!
Sure I can speak to that. You know when I started it, I had high hopes for the Trisonics, probably too high. The pickup usually doesn't lend as much voice to a guitar as the pup makers market to you, but these have a unique open air coil construction. I've got a clone of a Catalinbread Galileo pedal I built that really gets you into the Queen ballpark and I figured the pedal/pup combo would be great. And I wasn't looking for dead on, I'm not in a tribute band or anything.
To me this guitar was about two things, the ebony core for tight transfer of sound, and the pups. In the end they both went far beyond expected! It actually sounds way more like May's sound more than I thought it would even without the Galileo pedal, using only amp gain and maybe a treble booster. The May singing sustain is there, not from any Vox AC30, but from the ebony neck which is great since I play a lot at lower volumes.
The sound is very very present, almost acoustic sounding unplugged, which is always a great sign for how a guitar will sound plugged in. The switching gives many options, not unlike the Red Special, but probably more manageable. I was really surprised at how different the combos sound, some are whispy thin and some are ferocious.
Couple of things I've realized about myself - I'm not using the tremolo as much anymore (on any guitar), and I'm pretty sure I like two pups vs three pups. It just feels more natural. My next build is going to be a fixed (Hannes) bridge.
