This PATB-3 pickup is intruiging. I have a couple strat bodies lying around I'd like to try one in, but they are all hardtails. All the copy on this pickup says quot;for trem guitarsquot;. Has anyone tried it in a non-trem? Is there a reason it wouldn't lend itself well to a hardtail strat?

What kind of tone are you looking for? THe Blues is a nice take on a quot;Hot PAFquot;, just a bit darker.... works equally well with and without a trem IMO....

Tone I'm looking for is pretty much exactly that--a hotter PAF. I love the '59, I just want a little more. The Custom series is a bit too much, so my thinking is the PATB-3 just might be perfect. The only thing scaring me away is why did Duncan feel the need to drive home that this is for trem guitars? I fear it may be a little too dark for a fixed bridge?

Hey Poor Man I'll be putting this in a SG in a week or so to test out I can let you know how it works out. I'll have some clips as well. Keep your eye on the quot;Battle of the 10K bridge pickupsquot; thread.

Excellent! Please keep us updated.

hey PoorMan.i just posted a thread a few days ago inquring about the patb-3 blues trembucker,myself.anyways,i just got one today and i'll be installing it in my '91 ibanez rg 565,which is a basswood,strat-style body and a all maple neck/fretboard.i know what you're looking for.i have the '59b in it now and it sounds really nice,bass amp; highs are nice,mids are descent and great open.clear tone.sometimes,though i'd like a pickup slightly hotter and fuller,and i mean just slightly,while retaining that great open paf vibe.i've tried the custom 5,and it's a great pickup too,but too boomy and somewhat compressed sounding compared to the 59b.i guess it was too big of a jump from the 59b.that's where i hear the patb-3 comes in.it's supposed to be that perfect little increment,e.q.-wise,from the 59b.keep an eye out-i'll be posting a new thread with the results and my description of the Blues patb-3 in the next few days once i've had some time with it.
