In praise of Sérgio Silva's pickups
Posted: Sun Mar 13, 2005 1:05 am
I just installed a Sérgio Special pickup in the neck position of my 610. It's a sibling of his rewind that I've been using for some months in the neck of my 625.
I gotta say: Wow! These pickups are freaking great. They blend well with the bridge pickups (new hi-gain and HB, respectively), so it's not a jarring contrast of two completely disparate sounds. And most importantly, they're clear. They have a definition and openness that's often missing in the neck position. I may have to actually use the selector switch and leave the bridge position more often.
I know there are others who are playing his pickups. We are a lucky bunch, aren't we?
Well done, Sérgio.
