Has anyone put suhr v60 lp's on a ta hollow swamp ash classic? and also has anyone tried the silent back plate mod (do the screw holes line up with an andy ?) if there is anyone? how did it work out,this is something i am considering.

cheers West.

the plate works nicely with our VA's, but the holes do not line up. you also have to change the middle pu.

I had a Swamp Ash Hollow Classic that came with SAs when I bought it. I decided I wanted a more vintage sound than the SAs were providing. At the time, I had no idea TAG offered vintage single coils, so I bought a set of Fralin Vintage Hots with the baseplate on the bridge pickup. They're really sweet sounding and glassy pickups. Fralin nailed it on that one. I always liked them more than the Suhrs, but I still haven't played a Hollow Classic with VAs, so I can't tell you how they compare.

VAs sound really really good. Unfortunately, I ordered a couple of v60lp's (should be here today. . waiting for the brown truck to pull up) for my Drop Top since I didn't know if the VAs would work with the backplate. I'll order the backplate after I see if I like these pickups. If the v60lp's aren't what I want, I'll order some VAs.
