The mid-pup is reversed to provide noise reduction for the neck, or visa versa. The bridge is a blade style P90 and provides a hotter signal for leads. I played this guitar live on the platform at church, with a full band and was able to clearly hear the clarity and resonance of the notes as I played a lead solo. I didn't have to crank the guitar or amplifier up, but rather just the clarity of the pickups and sustain of the Compton brass bridge brought the tone and punch I needed out of my guitar.
I was very pleased. I also have a new push-pull volume for the mid-PUP, which allows me more tonal flexibility and various combinations of the three pick ups. A new Switchcraft three position switch was also installed. All in all, a great improvement. Cost for parts was $275 for the three P90's and $65 for the Compton bridge. Not bad for such a great improvement! Thanks, also, to the professional that did the great work. -- Guitar Man
looks awesome with that blade P90! Would like to see some vids to check how it sounds after the upgrade :)
