You know how your car drives better after you wash it? Well, that’s exactly what happens when you replace the tuners, electrical, pickup, and knobs on your guitar. This thing has never felt so good. I went from a Seymour Duncan Fat Cat true P90 to a DiMarzio Tone Zone humbucker. To give you an idea of the Tone Zones tone, it’s listed as 8.5 bass, 8.5 mid, 5 highs, and 17.31 K on the windings. That’s one fat pickup, and it sounds exactly like I want. I installed it with the intention of upgrading someday, but I’m not so sure now. It makes a bridge pickup sound like a neck pickup, but retain the bite. Fuck yeah! The switch toggles between traditional series wiring and parallel. The parallel has a thinner, more single coil sound while still bucking the hum. It’ll be good for the whaca whaca funky parts.

I did try a linear pot on the tone knob. Mistake. Someday I’ll change it to a logarithmic pot.

Dropping the tone all the way back and pumping through a fuzz is sweetly brutal. It warms all my fuzzies.
