Seeking opinions on pick-up configuration
Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2019 12:51 pm
Hello All,
It's been too long since I participated here. I am seeking input on a modification I want to try on my 360-12, which I purchased new in 2005. It is equipped with factory toasters, and other vintage appointments. I have two hi-gain pick-ups which I am converting to toaster-covered hi-gains. I am thinking of swapping one or both of the toasters with the toaster-topped hi-gain(s). I remember, way back, Tony Carey made a comment that a toaster at the 24-fret neck position on a 12-string was a terrible thing, lol. Anyway, I feel like I have gotten about all I can get out of this guitar, as is, and want to try this out. I was thinking I would put the hi-gain in the neck position and leave the toaster at the bridge. I have read others, online, saying they liked a hi-gain at the bridge and a toaster at the neck. I am curious as to whether anyone here has tried such combinations on a 12-string, and what their recommendation would be.
Regards,
Steve C.
