I love Rectos, but his clip without a boost sounded horrible (compared to his usual tones), IMO. Like he was playing with a sponge instead of a pick.

So who has one? How is it? Kinda like the idea of one. I love my Tribute, but one thing I don't love about it is the fat neck. The Studio Modern kinda addressed that and has other features that I find appealing like the compound radius. Thoughts? Pics? Opinions? :)

In my case, they got along well with my Krank because my Krank was very scoopy and heavy in the lows, so the added mids helped a little. But to be honest, that Krank was VERY picky, and only wanted to sound good when/if the planets aligned. But as soon as I got my EVH, yeah... they weren't...

Depends on what kind of mids we're talking, but my H's were actually honkier than V30's. So probably less upper mids, but more core "Greenback-y" woody mids on the Creambacks for sure. I'm pretty sure Creamback H's vary a lot. Mine were way brighter and not as chunky as my Vintage 30's, but...

I'm really digging it, honestly. It just caught me off guard that it isn't as high output as the DCR had me believing. I suppose that has to do in part with the Alnico 5 that Suhr use.

I've liked BB Pros in the past, but I've never gotten along with BB 1/2/3. I had the 2 and the 3 in one of those 1959 Epis. But it could've just been the guitar. It was alright, but not fantastic.

I find it biting and fat, but I don't find it muddy. Each to his own. :)

I'm not much for flexibility, but it's certainly nice to have it in case I need it!

What did you not like about it? I personally don't love that it's so high DCR and it's so not blistering hot output, LOL. But that's kind of irrational of me. It sounds good, it's just not what I was expecting. I guess what's "negative" about it for me is that it's neither a full-on hot pickup...

I haven't tried rolling down the volume, honestly, but I did find that clean, the Aldrich sounded more usable. It felt less like there was a less of a huge mid hump that really wanted to start distorting. Clean, I heard a more open and detailed top-end too.

Not apples to apples, but I recorded this quick clip. First is the LP with the Aldrich, then my LTD EC-400VF with a Duncan Antiquity JB: *CLIP* Keep in mind the LP is naturally tight and aggressive and the LTD is naturally fat and round. But I think it's pretty evident to me that the mids in...

The thing is I don't think the treble on the Aldrich is all that much more. It's just voiced differently where it's more open. But it's also got the extra fatness to counter it, so I think the Aldrich comes off overall as fatter but not darker. At least IMO. But if you think the JB is chirpy...

I can post a clip later today or tomorrow. :)

To sum it up: It's not what I expected. I got the Suhr Aldrich today to drop in my Gibson Les Paul Tribute. I had a JB in it that I liked, but there was room for improvement. I thought it was a bit thin on that particular guitar compared to my other two. That Les Paul is really tight and...

All of the 60's I've had were non-metallic gray like the pic I posted. They've always been like that, as far as I know. Maybe you got an odd one?

Well, if you like the rest of the guitar, I don't think it's such a big deal. EMG's are easy to swap and not hard to come across used. I'm sure the 85 is even easier to find used than the 60 if what you want is an 85.

You can see it here.

No, the 60 does not have a silver logo like the 81. It has a blue-ish gray non-metallic logo to differentiate it from the 81.

Yeah, I was gonna comment on the tone they dialed in for him there as well. Way too much gain. Cool guy and killer band, though.
