Hi All
Jason just linked me to the movie clips of my Chopper, made before it shipped to me. As Jason mentions in the clips.... the thinking behind this guitar, and in particular the pickups, was aiming for a tone which is like a bright and articulate/slightly biting humbucker tone, as opposed to a 'super single coil' type P90 tone. I've always thought as P90s being the best type of humbucker tone (all the power, none of the mud, let's HEAR the wood of the guitar) instead of the whole single coil thang. I think this comes across in the clips pretty well...

Jason, what's the complete signal path in the clips? The neck tone on 9478.MPG just after the 'sweet child' and talking bit is wicked, love it!!
