hawkfanatic Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'm posting this for others, as I actually like the middle p/u. In fact, of the 3 it's the only one i'm not looking to replace. Not so sure this one worth considering, but since it's probably the only replacement option i figured i should post it here. The reason i say i'm not sure it's worth considering is that i am suspicious as to whether this is truly a upgrade of just the same one that comes in the guitar which he was able to source form the asian company that makes them for epi. The reason i'm suspicious of that is it measures the same resistance as the one in the nighthawk, and his p/u's are so cheap. At $36 i gotta think he may has simply sourced the stock p/u. But at $36 it may be worth a shot to anyone looking for one and willing to chance it. Or for anyone who's stock middle stopped working. Anyone wanna be the guinea pig?

guitarjeff Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Cool! I've been googling that middle pup for weeks. Guess I'll go ahead and guinea pig it. Now if I could just find that bridge... Been thinking about just having it set up for a TOM, and putting a vibramate and Bigsby on it, but don't know if I want to change it up that much.

hawkfanatic Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 definitely post back with a review ! I'm happy with the stock one, but if it happens to be considerably better and you can describe how, i may just give it a go. Really want a different bridge tho, and the duncan offerings i don't think will do. Don't like the JB and i have read several times they are hit or miss in gibson style guitars. And the 59 will be too low an output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarjeff Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Also, be on the lookout for a bridge pickup from Rio Grande. Dave Wintz, the president of Rio Grande pickups and Robin guitars, told me he's been wanting to make a Nighthawk bridge pickup for a long time, and if I brought him one, he'd use it for a pattern and make me one for free. So, mine is in his shop (probably ready by now, but I've been out of the country for a week). Don't have any idea when he's gonna have them ready for the general public, though, or if it's gonna be a special-order deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
