Hello from Spain!!
English is no my mother tongue language so, please forgive my language mistakes...
I own a S500 tribute since 2008 and I love it....But during this years I made some mods to it ( from original pickups to dragonfire active pickups and electronics) and now I want to turn it into a "superstrat" project.
Finding a replacement pickguard for G&L guitars is almost impossible here in Spain, so I'm going to keep the original SSS pickguard on mod over this base.
I have a SD hot rails for the bridge position and a cool rails for the neck....Problem is the middle position.
I would like to conserve some stratish sounds on the guitar so I'm consider the option of use one of the original S500 pickups for the middle position and wire the 5 way switch with neck and bridge in split mode for positions 2&4....
My doubts are how the MFD pickup will pair with those 2 pickups. Do you think that this will sound OK or I should buy another pickup for the middle position??
Thank you very much in advance and sorry for my English mistakes

I guess nobody will know how that combination works and if it will sound good to your ears.altoaragon wrote:Do you think that this will sound OK or I should buy another pickup for the middle position??
Check it out for yourself! Changing a pickup just lasts about 15 minutes or something like this.
