Stacked Humbucker in Silo Special?

[kevdog]

Has anyone installed a stacked humbucker in a Silhouette Special in the neck position? If so which one did you use and how happy were you with the results?

Yes I did that when I used to have my Silo Special...now I wish I still had it! I initially had a DiMarzio Fast Track 1 which was awesome. It was somewhere between a humbucker and single with much more output. Basically listen to Vinnie Moore and that's it. I also tried the Cruiser bridge model following Andy Timmons tone, and that was also great. I felt the low strings sounded a little mushier, but had more of the single coil vibe to it than the FT1. I definitely liked both alternatives better than the stock singles personally.

Hi!! I have a air norton S in the neck position in mine, with a fast track 1 in the middle and a tone zone in the bridge, I removed the silent circuit, I'm really happy with the result!!
