the fender in the back, I built. Scalloped neck/graphite nut, Fender Deluxe Schallers, All the electronics were replaced.

In the neck, I put in a Dimarzio HS3. I Like it with the right amp/sim.

The bridge Humbucker is still stock. I am getting tired of it.

I am thinking of replacing it with a Dimarzio PAF Pro.
Anyone know about this pickup? Any experience?
Any other thoughts?

Sacrelige Rob!!!!

Guitars are made of wood, with strings and copper coiled around magnets....they are plugged into real tangible amplifiers, this becomes loud and beautifully obscene :) Its not that hard is it? ROR!!

There is no Virtual in guitarland for me....its close but no cheese I am afraid....I feel so unvibed playing some variaxe VG-wobble business!!!

LEX go and get a Seymour Duncan that suits the flavour you want.....I always thought they were nice and hot with some great 'crack' in them for the bridge....

I have 2 guitars with SD already. Was thinking of changing up a bit and trying out Dimarzio.

Can't help with any DiMarzio suggestions... been using active EMG's since 1987.

You may want to consider a Seymour Duncan P-Rails. I put one in my American Standard Strat a while back and have been quite happy with it. The humbucker sounds fairly good - but the P90 just rocks....!

I used two pull-pots and wired it so that I can have the P90 single coil, the "Rails" single, or the humbucker in either series or parallel.
