    Default you can only choose one sound

    If you could only choose one toggle position on one guitar what would it be? For example if you choose neck position on a les Paul you can only choose one pup. If your a strat guy and like #4 position u can choose two.
    No mini switches or push pulls allowed. You can choose a different wiring other than standard. Such as parralell or always split.



    I would choose the Wilde l500xl bridge position in a USA dean flying v

    killer. Lets keep on playing. I just thought of something before it gets asked. You got all the access to amps and pedal you want. Your only limitation is the guitar and pickups

    Basically - you are asking "What is YOUR sound?"

    Duncan Distortion, bridge of a Les Paul.

    I tweak out about gear as much or more than anybody else on here and love the gear end of guitar playing but the truth is I'm not that picky...

    A great man once said:

    "I'd be willin' to throw down a "C" on any solidbody outfitted with a rear-position pickup. Don't even have to work. Grocery sack for a case, some spare change for a couple of Radio Shack leads and a furious fuzzbox. Killer combo for your stack of greenbacks."

    I say Sho' 'nuff!

    I'd probably choose the slippery feel of the JB in the bridge of my Jackson SL3. That's the sound I use when I play closest to the heart.

    Strat, neck pickup. Just any vintage-style pickup.

    I second darthphineas, but maybe lean towards the JB bridge in an alder strat-style guitar.

    I'd probably say the bridge pickup of my Peavey Wolfgang Special. I've gotten through multiple shows without switching off that guitar even if I would usually play certain songs on particular guitars. It tends to be a very versatile pickup in a very versatile guitar.

    I'll get around to making a video with it one of these days.

    I have it installed in my superstrat alongside a TB-11 in the bridge.

    It's an incredibly versatile pickup. Normally, I use a neck pickup for either chunky power chords, warm cleans, or soloing higher on the neck as they tend to be too muddy for articulate riffing, but the Pro Track behaves much differently.

    It sounds like an "in-between" humbucker so it doesn't cut your head off the way a JB or Distortion would for extended solo use.

    I would go with that too.
