Question for Jon: Which bucker in Silhouette Special?

[flukather]

I'm changing pickups in my Luke to passive, looking for a more Silhuette Special type sound but with the Luke feel.

I was wondering, the humbucker on the SS, what is the closest thing Dimarzio offers to that one?

Regards
Niklas

Retry asking without the "h" in John.
Maybe then....

Virtual PAF (different one for bridge and neck) is what new SS are using.

I was talking about the Silhouette Special, there is only one bucker in the SS, not 2

Yes, I know, but just pointing out that there are two different Virtual PAF p'ups.

Yeah I know. It's just that nobody ever has said what the humbucker in the SS is, just what the humbuckers in the Silhouette are.

I was told by DiMarzio that the bridge is closest to a PAF and the single coils are very similar to Blue Velvets

Nope, I grew out of my Ibanez phase many years ago and replaced it with and EVH. I still have other non MM guitars but I never play them (maybe I should sell them?)

Blue Velvet are great singles.

since i sold my last ibanez its been great, those things did nothing for my playing. wonder if i'll ever have 100% EB guitars?

I have 100% EB guitars, Its only two one which I haven't recived yet. But I'm getting there.
