The SD-1 is pretty dark, more so than I expected, but sounds cool if you need it. The bridge is pretty bright, but comes in handy for certain rhythm parts that need to cut. Hard to directly compare with the Eastwood ones without A/B ing them with the old ones, but I’m just glad I have the ones Jerry had, since it’s a tribute to his tone. I also prefer the matte black to the shiny black with chrome bobbins, just in terms of looks.
How do you like the new pickups, compared to the ones it came with?
Also, how difficult was the new bridge to install?
Regardless, looks great, bet it sounds great too. Hope you have a lifetime of fun playing it.

Working on guitars is a little intimidating at first but once you dive in and get your hands dirty it starts to make sense and isn’t very hard. The Dimarzio pickups come with installation instructions too. You should know how to solder though, took me a little bit of practice to get that down, but it’s easy to practice.
I’ll leave the neck one for now, but want to change out the bridge and middle.
The new Dimarzio Dual Sound pups are something like $80 each iirc, which isn’t to bad imho.

Without getting another brass blank and putting my own slots, I am curious about your modification. I wonder if it would give me the headroom I need to get the slots cut better.LazyLightning72 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 13, 2021 4:31 pm I have considered changing out the pickups in my Wolf tribute.I’m sure they would sound sweet!
