Hey there, since we got onto the topic of Bongos on my last thread.. I thought I'd start this thread.
Does anyone know if the bridge humbucker on the dual humbucker Bongo is the same placement as the humbucker on a SR5?? In the pictures on the site it looks like its closer to the bridge by one coil than the SR5......
And, when is the street date for the Bongos??

The dual pickup Bongo bridge pickup is closer by about a inch to the bridge than the SR5 pickup . We did this after R&D tried different placements with the bongo pickups. With 2 pickups this position sounded better especially when blending between the two.The single pickup Bongo is in the same placement as the SR and SR5, which in our opinion has always been perfect for the right blend of treble and bass.

Were hoping the Bongo will be in the stores within the next 4 to 6 weeks.
