Thanks, guys,
frpax, Paul, Jouko, Bruno, Paladin ... I appreciate your help !!! :lol: :lol:
So, a short review of my efforts:
Ups:
There seems to be a little more sustain, the attack is less ? sounds pleasant for the clean and crunch tones, more sleeky ? the tones of the guitar are darker and less brittle ? good for those guitars which provide a brighter sound.
? and in some way the strings feel softer.
The bendings are smooth and simple. It was remarkable that the tone was really smacking like the old PAFs do ? the ?85s Dimarzios did their job without ?50s wiring ? great!!
The basses were growling in the crunched and distorted mod ? a great experience in my opinion, and I love that tone. The strings sound like you?re playing ?slapping style? ? the attack should be less hard when playing chords.
Downs:
The risk of injury will be avoided if you use the advice of Paladin to use the ball ends of the old strings ? Thanks ? that was very useful! :lol:
The tuning of the strings expects more time and accuracy especially when you have restrung the guitar.
Overall I must confess ? I was really impressed by this mod ? no need to change it in the near future !
