Pah, already using a Custom 9 in my Flying V :fing25:

They came a day earlier than expected so I pulled them out to look at them. They look a little different in that the top and bottom are dark gray and quot;corrodedquot;, sort of like the Burstbucker magnets but not nearly as much.

They also feel significantly harder to pull apart than I remember 5's being. I'm wondering if string-pull is going to be an issue...

Oh, and how 'bout that -- I got 2 stars now. Apparently the threshold for star #2 is 1,000.

Congratulations Zang
I have 3 stars but they are yellow ...

Well (assuming they´re standard size) Ceramics would be even harder to separate, so string pull shouldn´t be an issue...

Probably not, and I can always back the pickup away a little, plus I have no plans to use these in neck pickups.

Perhaps you should cause i play a super 70 neck ( around 7.3 kz and alnico mag ) and i am nearly to prefer it to the best neck humb that i know ; the Jazz .
Same crazy definition and fast pick attack but more mids and punch .

Lester, you definitely need to try the Fralin 7.5 in the neck position!

Gotcha. I'm a OCD kind of tinkerer so chances are that will end up getting tried, no matter how much I might protest right now.

So tink tink and let us know what are the results !
