Question Pickup Change on a Reflex

[Fun111]

I'm yet to play one (fingers crossed) but these guitars are really growing on me, I'm thinking about making the journey to try one out with my amp because I'm on the hunt for my ideal, every day guitar.

I'm really looking forward to trying one out, and have a feeling it's gunna be just what I'm after, but the brackets (?) that hold the pickups in... How are the pickups fixed to these?

This guitar could potentially be my main player for a long time but not being able to change the pickups would really worry me.

Also, I'm a jazz player in my own time, but play a lot of very rocky music with my buddies, and am partial to the odd 80's shred fest (haha), and this is the first thing that's really come close. I'm a huge fan of the Silo neck!!!! I just like a very very clear neck pickup sound, and a middy, barky (kinda like the DiMarzio Fred or AT1) bridge pickup sound, and I don't want the stock pickups to put me off if they aren't perfect.

I'm really excited about trying one!!!!!!!

AAAAH!!!

Thanks dudes.

PS Sound clips anyone?

You gotta play what moves you. But I play everything from pop, metal, praise band, blues, funk and rock and there's no tone that I can't get from my 25th/Reflex. A truly versatile
Guitar in every sense. Don't let the 10 combinations fool you. The pickups respond particularly well to the volume and
Tone pot changes. Especially in parallel. There's a great deal of tone here. Even single
Coil like spank. You gotta try one!

YouTube Travis Larson or Blues Saraceno demoing them. Awesome videos!

If you must, you must, but like SS I find the pups fit the Reflex/25th perfectly. With the series parallel options shred to spank is easy.

I'm thinking you wouldn't be disappointed in the pickups either. I got my Reflex and thought i would consider changing the pickups, as i'm usually more of a Bare Knuckle fan, but i honestly think these sound great for all applications.

I also find my 25th very versatile, easily the most versatile guitar I own as well as a very comfortable guitar to play. If I were you though I would wait a little while longer until the Game Changers are available as you are getting the ax you want and will definitely be able to program in the exact tones you want spot on. I like what I see from that guitar and talking on the level I wish they would just say that mathematically it is possible to get 8 million settings, as those who talk before they think will say who needs 8 million settings which is understandable, but 10 or even 20 killer tones will do it for anyone and handle any gig or recording.
