i just went to the local music place to have them install some new pups for me...and the guy gave me a questioning look, and asked if i was sure i want these pickups put in this guitar...

i have an agile 2800dlx (les paul, swamp ash body), and i was having them put in a jazz neck, and invader bridge.

is there something wierd about those pups in that body?

well why did he say that??There's nothing quot;wrongquot; with any pickups any guitar....some sound better than others though. Maybe he thought the invader would be dark sounding in that guitar but I'm not familiar with that guitar so I don't know.

hmm maybe. just dont wanna get it back and have it sound like ass. so the jazz/invader combo wont sound quot;badquot; on a swamp ash LP?

Well it depends on what you think sounds like ass. What kinds of tones do you like?

i play mostly metal...i want a sorta dark, meshuggah like sound.

He might not now that the jazz neck is paired up with a high output bridge pickup a lot of the time. I've never heard the invader, but that combo should be fine in that guitar. I have a BL L500XL in the bridge of a swamp ash N4 and it isn't too bright for me.

sounds like you went to guitar center...

I hate it when people question what u want and give you conflicting thoughts like that espcially in music stores. I wouldnt worry those pickups in swamp ash will sound just fine its just all a matter of taste though by the sounds of what you like i think it will do quite nicely.

Maybe the salesman was on incentive to sell lots of 'these' or 'those' pickups to the customers... with expert opinion

it should sound fine...
