I have been thinking of putting Suhrs in my legacy but would like to keep the old pups/guard so it would be easy to swap them out if I wanted to sell the legacy later.

Where is the best place to get a pre-wired pickguard with pups wired with 1 tone on the bridge, 1 on the neck and 1 volume?

chandler has the g&l legacy pickguard listed
in my old (a few years) catalog.wd & allparts don't.although you can trace yours & send it to them.does g&l sell parts...pickguards?

Tone Merchants has the best price on Suhr pickups I've seen. Wish I would have checked there before I bought mine from some one else.

Check with George at Acme Guitarworks. Good friend of mine who has a great business doing exactly what you are looking for. See his full page ad in Vintage Guitar Magazine or visit his website at:

Which Suhr pups are recommended if I want a hot bridge (~4 henry)and normal middle and neck? I am thinking of the V60LP but am not that familier with Suhrs. Any input is appreciated.

I have bought from acme before, good service.

You could talk to George about the specific pickups too, Felken. I wouldn't know what to recommend because I only have the V60LP's and they are in both my Strat and my Tele. I love the tone and balance, but they are a vintage output so you may want something slightly hotter for your bridge. I used to go that route myself (especially in the Strat) but I gave up that approach when I went with the Suhrs. I don't miss the sound of those overwound bridge pickups - they always seemed too compressed.

felken, you may want to even consider the regular V60's (not Low Peak). The difference is that they are hotter and have more presence.

Right now I have a SD custom in the bridge with a bass plate. It is not too compressed to my ears but for a bridge pup I generally prefer hb's which it isn't.

I love strat tones except for the bridge pup, which is a little thin.

I have thought that it is just not possible to get the bridge tone I want most of the time from a strat with a single coil but don't want to sacrifice the quack tones with an hb in the bridge.

The age old strat problem.

I may just let it be what it is and put a vintage set in there instead of trying to drive a square peg in a round hole if I pull the trigger on a new set. Thanks for the help.
