yatyas Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 having the pickups in my 2008 standard switched with S.D's, a custum and a JB, the burst buckers are just terrible things. now my setup guy asked me if i want to do a regular install, a coil tap or the jimmy page mod, he'll do the mod for me for under $300(parts, labor ,setup) he's a good guy so pretty sure price is o.k , but what i'd like some input on is, is the mod worth it or is it overkill, as in a lot of fancy options i'll never use? the coil tap is a pretty cool thing, that i might go for any thoughts from the collective mind?

FennRx Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 http://www.jimmypagewiring.com/ a lot cheaper than $ 300. install it yourself or pay the guy a few dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FennRx Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 i cant tell you if its worth it or not. that really depends on you and what you like. the idea of a coil split is pretty cool, since i dont like playing strats at all. the out-of-phase sound would also be cool if you like Peter Green. the mod will definitely give you a wide variety of tones to mess with. for me, i imagine it would be more of a cool gadget than a "must have" item. if you are just a huge JP fan remember, as another poster noted, that all of his mods were done post-zeppelin.

deepblue Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Coil tapping a JB?....Thats a pretty hot pickup to tap. I found over the years that the more mellow the pickup, the more tap friendly they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yatyas Posted January 28, 2010 Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 thanks for the input, i think i'm going to go with just the coil tap, love the single coil sound of my strat , if i can get that out of playing my LP, it will be great, know it wont sound quite the same but that's OK. dropping it off on monday, pick up on Wednesday , cant wait. is it strange to keep and play my fender strat and my les paul in different parts of the house so they don't now about each other and get jealous ? and if you think that's weird, on Tuesdays i stand on the side of the road with a live duck tied to my head and wave my wiener at traffic while singing the theme song to THE FACTS OF LIFE[blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
