m series pickups in action

[oscar100]

finally got the m series for my walnut cobra trem with rosewood neck

fitted them and holy smoke

they sound amazing!

ive always found anderson pu's a little bright but teh m series are really great - smooth and yet twangy

teh m3 smokes

everyone go get M series

they are teh way forward

thanx tom for putting in the time to make teh special pickup surrounds.....

:D

[tom]

great to hear, you are the first retro fit. any issues along the way?

[oscar100]

the surrounds took a little tim eto get into teh p90 route successfully but otherwise was pretty much plain sailing

again

congrats on a great pickups - i might get some more for my prs about to be ex soapbar!

:p

My Custom Ordered Thorn guitar is about 4-6 weeks (or so) away and will have the M1-M1-M3 pickups and the Anderson switching.

Thanks for the tone report!!! I can't wait!!!

[oscar100]

forgot to add

apart from soundijng amazing they look so cool - will try post a piccie....

well done tom

btw can you make bigger surrounds to repplace full size humbuckers?

:D

[tom]

the above ground hb ring poses a different obsticle. perhaps a flat piece that goes on top of the existing ring. making a 3d ring would be expensive, and out of my league.

hey oscar, I have searched this forum for differences between the M series and p90 pickups, but have found none. can you (or anyone else) compare/contrast M series vs. p90 in a "hollow drop top t / hollow cobra"

[oscar100]

the M1 is a fat single coil more airy than p90 and quiet

M3 isnt as out of control - more focused

get em in!

:cool:

[slowburn]

gotta get myself an anderson first....

[oscar100]

u can put em in other guitars as a retro fit

they look good on teh car dashboard too!



:D

I have the M1 M1 M3 config in my Hollow Cobra S. I can tell you that the M3 is a killer lead PUP. More articulate than a typical humbucker. Yet it seems about as loud as say a Duncan 59 or
57 Classic.

This is now my main guitar BTW.

In fact I believe my local music store has ordered a couple of M equipped guitars as a result of mine.

I'm seriously considering ordering a pickguard from grosh equipped with m1 m1 m3 configuration to drop into my retroclassic. I figure if I can't get a new guitar, this would be the next best thing. after all, it's not like i'm stuck with a crappy guitar. I love my grosh. it could be worse, I could have my old synsonics terminator...
