That sounds like a great combo. Interested to hear how it turns out.
You can always remove the quick connects and solder wire directly to the solder points. I’ve had to do that with other pickups.
In the right guitar, the JB slays.
Some are quite good, but I don't think it's possible to get them 100% as the coil shape is different.Are Humbucker-sized P90s compromised on sound?
Fender fat 60s are pretty nice . Old hat like Duncan alnico 2 are still really good and now overlooked. Bare knuckles boot camp old guard singles are 7k and alnico 2 . So full sounding but still got the top in a nice way . Don’t be tempted to go hot and alnico V .Anything in particular you'd recommend for a '60s slab board style strat with an ash body? Preferably ones that aren't the same price as a new guitar?
Joe Barden are bright but ceramic sounding imoCruisers are the brightest and lowest gain of Dimarzios but still have a humbucker tone. I’d be curious to try Joe Barden pickups otherwise maybe the best bet is a properly designed rail in parallel to get a more single coil tone.
I’m reinstalling stacked Area pickups in my guitar this week and putting the Cruisers back in the sell pile.
Considering a paf is 7-8.k and vintage single coils are around 6 k that balance is good already.Still messing with these pickup heights, there are some really cool tones in the Cruiser neck though. It's kind of like a humbucker voiced to sound like a single coil somehow. Volume matches really well with the 59 PAF level bridge. You can do pinch harmonics really easily though which I don't know that I've experienced with a neck pickup.
