Curious about the same thing..I had the WR1 that was flawless, but been wondering if the extra upcharge (and super long wait) for Custom Shop is worth it.
Lol...seriously? Gibson's going quite mental these days. I still have a vintage Gibson Patent No. Pending mystery pickup that sounds great in every guitar I've ever put them in.
I wish they'd just make something like this instead.
I agree with you, I mean these players are amazing, but not the type of stuff I can listen to all day...although very entertaining to watch on Youtube.:)
Mad respect for their dedication and effort to get to that level though.
If you want your tone to be a bit brighter then get 500k, otherwise like others had mentioned get 250k for single coils.
I like the dimarzio pots taper, or if you do a lot of volume swells, get the yjm low friction pots
I mean...the term 'best' is very subjective. What sounds good to me might not be good for you..so...not yet I guess? Hahaha
I think we as musicians are always trying to experiment or chase different tones all the time..it's an endless cycle in my opinion.
Probably won't be similar to a 4x12, but I have a custom 2x12 oversized-widebody cab with the speakers in diagonal position, close cab and it sounds pretty huge. I live in an apartment as well so size is quite a bit of an issue.
