Contemplating two new hybrids.

[ArtieToo]

I was thinking of building two new hybrids. Like this:



I already have the 59/DD hybrid which is "ok", but nothing special. If I combine it with a Screamin' Demon, I get these two new ones.

Questions:

1. Would it be blasphemy to disect a Screamin' Demon?

2. Would you call these bridge or neck pups?

3. The original oversize ceramic or an A5 in the SD/DD?

Should I do it? Thanks.

Artie

P.S. Anyone desparately need a Demon before it goes to surgery?

sounds like a cool idea the screamin 59 looks cool

[PFDarkside]

I could see that being either a great B/N set or two different bridges, a hot one and a slightly hotter one.

Screamin 59

I love it! I think I'm going to build it now just so I can use that name. (I'll give you proper credit.)

Cool. Thats kinda what I was thinking too.

cool.. screamin 59 and demon distortion
I hope you post some clips

[kjrocks]

I think either could be a cool pickup. The Demon/DD really sounds cool. I'd need to try both mags though.

[PFDarkside]

I wonder how the Demon/Distortion would be with an A8? Maybe too shrill?

[ArtieToo]

I'm not sure. I've never heard an A8.

Edit: I'm going to go ahead and try it. If it doesn't work out, I can always put the Demon back together.

No not shrill, a A8 is all about mids and decent alnico highs (between A2 and A5)!

Cool, but on the Distortion hybrid . . . shouldn't I shoot for the ceramic sound? As in . . . keep the Distortion, borrow the Demon? Or vice-versa?

[Blue_Fingers_Jay]

Oh my...
That Screamin '59 should sound soooo yummi in the neck position, and the Demon Distortion for the bridge, sounds like a great set right there.

1- In that case, it's not.
2- Screamin '59 - Neck and Distortion Demon - Bridge
3- I would keep the original Ceramic

Please do it! And some samples would be heavenly

Obviously . . . you've never heard me play.

But I'll do it. Just give me . . . a day or so.

Sweet, curious to see how this hybrid works out.

[mirrormind]

Invader/Jazz Bridge hybrid! LOL

[Rowan]

That screaming distortion looks like it has potential Artie! I'd say put it in the neck, but thats just me

[ArtieToo]

Ok, I got them done. I went ahead with the A5 in both for now since I didn't have what I needed to fabricate the thicker spacers for the ceramic. Hopefully, I'll get these installed tomorrow and take 'em for a test drive.

[kjrocks]

I cant wait to hear what you think.

[MikeS]

Cool stuff, Artie. I agree with Blue_Fingers_Jay regarding the Screamin' 59. That could make a killer neck pickup. Keep us posted!

[ArtieToo]

To be honest, I'm most interested in how that dual-screw pup sounds. The adjustment range is phenomenal.

This is going to take some shufflin' around. I actually had both of these installed today, and realized I hadn't "taped" the Demon Distortion. I had the Screamin' 59 in the bridge. I'm just concerned about having the stud coil closest to the bridge. I guess I'll have to try it both ways.
