I have a Warmoth carved top VW with a hollow mahogany body with a 5/8quot; quilt maple top.
from : localhost/is wired with a 5 way with a master volume and tone. The second tone know slot is a push-pull blend post for the neck-bridge combo.
The Warmoth VW's push-on pot (a version of a push-pull) was near death and the SD Jazz neck and Dimarzio Air Norton bridge just were never great favorites for me. The Jazz was not smooth enough, and the highs seems hard to my ears. The dimarzio just seems flat somehow. They were fine, but not great (I now have 2 Jazz pups in the drawer!).
Anyway, I had ordered a Duncan Seth Lover neck and Pearly Gates bridge for the new LP, but decided to go with the 50th anniversary Seth Lovers for the LP. As I had this set of pups here I decided to put them here thoug I would lose the split for the neck.
I picked up a new push pull pot, and did the rewire. I dropped the neck split, for obvious reasons, but left the rest as it was. It is a MAJOR improvement. The neck is smooth, articulate and very LP bucker toned. I love it. It is like my APII's only clearer. The bridge is much the same, but has the ZZ edge to it (As advertised). The bridge split sucks, but I really do not ever use the splits on this guitar anyway. The swithes will stay but just will not get a lot of use I would guess. The bridge is a touch brighter than I like, but it is in the game and is in range with a roll down of the tone knob.
In sum: Great clean for jazz, country into blues and blues OD, finishing out with a nice classic rock tone if needed. This appears to be a keeper set.
It was a good move. I now have dual nickle covered buckers in the guitar now which seems to look nice as well.
