  • Seymour Duncan EVH

    Just ordered my second from MJ at the custom shop. They keep a record of all your past purchases. Pulled up my info. and remembered me from the last time because I ordered a yellow one. She doesn't do many in that color (yellow in a red warmoth soloist body). She had all my prior spec's (resistance and gauss). This pickup, without a doubt is everything it's claimed to be. Not for the inexperienced. Very and I mean very attack and volume sensitive. I currently run a 74 Marshall 50W/4X12BX through a Hotplate. I run the line out on the hotplate to a Marshall 9100 50/50 rack head and into 2 Fender Tone Master 2X12 cabs. Also 3 eq's,flanger,phaser and delay in the chain. The early EVH sound is easily acheived with this setup and pickup. Curious if anyone else has tried this pickup.

    Yep, I have one in my bullseye that was custom wound for me... Great pickup ..
    Don't worry - I'll smack her if it comes to that. You do not sell guitars to buy shoes. You skimp on food to buy shoes! ~Mrs Tekky 06-03-08~

        Agreed. Awesome pickup. Too bad it's custom shop only.

          Has anyone tried mounting straight to the body vs. springs and screws and if so what were the differences? I realize body and neck woods play a role.

            I have one in an SLATQH.....I like but I wish it was a tad hotter.

              I have a home brewed version that is a combination of a Custom and a '59. It is a very open and warm pickup, but it does lack a little juice. Has that saggy bottom end and overall roundness of tone. Mine is even a little hotter than the real EVH, it pegs out at 10.5 ohms.

              It is in my maple SD Charvel, it replaced a smoking hot Schaller Hot Stuff. I am still trying to get used to it.

              Sleep. The sound doesn't collapse to riffs of early eyes either.

                I think an EVH, 12.5-13 ohm version with a bit of a tighter bass would be about perfect. The mids are just right and the highs are never ice picky....the bass just has a bit of a thickness to it that is a bit difficult to dial out however it is most definately solid....don't get me wrong it's good but by the time I've toned the bass down w/ my amps eq it starts getting a bit thinner sounding than what I like so I go to the mids to try and compensate and my amp already being pretty mid heavy...it's a fine line. It's like ,"just about there", for me.
