I really like the stock pickups and have absolutely no need to change them… but I really like the idea of trying some staple pickups. I’ve only played one guitar with one in it, but remember really loving it.
I love the staple neck pickup in my BBR5. I'd say give it a shot.
Yes! That with a Bigsby would be my ideal guitar.
I’m not going to mess with this guitar at this stage- it’s great as is.

Possibly my favourite guitar on the forum.
Now that the PotC LP has sold, I agree.

Spring is the comic sans of reverbs anyway.

Curious about fitting a bigsby - run the strings over the stop tail a-la JJN, or is there an easy retrofit for an abr/tune-o-matic?
There's a bridge called a bowtie bridge which sits on the surface of the guitar for use with a bigsby. They were used on original goldtops that were Bigsby equipped. Gilmour's famous goldtop used on the solo of Another Brick has one.

Ah yes, thanks, I did know about the bowtie. Assumed there might be a more “modern” solution.
I think the best solution would be like a lightening bridge or similar. I have a cool brass saddled alloy wrap tail that would be ideal to convert for Bigsby use on a wrap style guitar.
murky, I'll get your bridge to you next string change. Sorry.

Yeah, mine too. That’s what my special wants to be when it grows up.
