Seymour Duncan 59 or Jazz in the neck?

[Rich#6]

Thanks guys. sounds like I should keep the 59 in there. I only said these 2 option because that's the pickups I will have between the body and the promod. I don't want to spend anymore money on this project. I already started selling a bunch of stuff to pay for all the crap I have bought lately.

59 is one of my favorite neck pickups, thats my vote

Get a Dimarzio EP1111 3 way (it will fit with the right washer in the SD body) and you have a coil from each pickup when the switch is in it's middle position.

FWIW, I thought that '59 sounded good in that guitar (when it was whole).

Wouldn't a push/pull volume pot make more sense then? It'd be easier to wire, cheaper and give more options? For example, neck split itself, bridge split itself, neck+bridge split, along with the normal humbucking selections?

Personally, I don't like push-pull pots - so I'd go with a switch to get you the sounds you want. More options is not necessarily better.

The Jazz isn't that much weaker than a '59. It's a tiny bit cleaner and brighter sounding. I really like both.

True, the Jazz is not that much weaker, and it's clean and bright like your Sunday School Best. It also does not do ass-to-mouth.

No, you're right - I wouldn't personally use the coil splits anywhere other than the middle position anyway. But the OP might find it more useful.

What's up with push/pulls anyway?
