  • Thanks for the opinons on the Warrior......finished it today.....

    The single coil rails at the bridge are gonna be gone without a doubt. The cavity is going to need to be routed anyways, so I'm undecided if I wanna keep the bridge hum slanted, or if I want to have it mounted straight and then have some filler added to cover some of the slant route? Any opinions?
    You can see the original rails slant mounted in the Warrior #2 thread as well as the killer job Ken did routing an EMG into his Warrior further down in the same thread.

    Thanks,
    - Joel

    EDIT: Thanks for the opinions...slanted it is. I've got a bunch of EMG's lying around so I'm tossing them in everything. Here are a couple pics of the job I just finished...pretty simple. EMG 81 with metal pickup ring. I took my time and made sure I did it right...I wanted it to look stock, I think it does.
    Brad...3 hums would be killer....I don't have a router so I used a dremel to open the cavity where it needed.

    Leave it slanted. It looks better. (at least to me)

    The less major digging you have to do to it the better.

      Yeah, not like that total mutt-job he did on my old Warrior Pro [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

      I'm thinking of putting two regular (passive) stacked hums in the bridge of my Warbird - maybe a Classic Stack and Lil 59 or something. Then again, maybe I could just swap out the wah circuit for a boost?

                        Personally, I would get some SC-size humbuckers and put in there. I really dig the look of those Warriors and if I ever got hold of one, I'd hate to "ruin" that by routing it. Isn't there any pickup manufacturer that makes decent sc-sized 'buckers? How about the DiMarzio FastTrack pickups?

                        But if you must do it, my vote is for the slanted humbucker. =)

                            2 slanted EMG hums, like Xenos Malevolent Creation warrior. Good job BTW.
