Got an SD scourge for the bridge of my S2 594. I actually quite like the stock pickups despite them being the he import version, but I really like what the Pegasus does in my LP so I wanted to move in that general direction


My homies gonna install it next week, will update #notMEN




I don Know the technical term for that kind of pole piece but hopefully that doesn’t impact putting that cover on?

Never was able to link up with my friend so 4 months later I decided to sack up and buy a soldering iron and do it myself


Success!! This pickup absolutely crushes


Wish I was doing my own pickup swaps ages ago

Nice work! Did you put anything between the cover and the pickup itself?

Dude! So glad it worked out! I'm really digging the switch at the top. What do you think of that location? I've been thinking about the EVH strats with the switch on the horn.

I didn’t… even though I think I technically should have? Just soldered the cover to the pickup. I may go back and wax pot it. If I go “hands free” on a distortion channel there’s definitely feedback directly related to the pickup but no feedback issues aside from that

I like the up top switch but I’ve been playing LPs for decades at this point so I’m pretty accustomed to that location

You can do what I do. Cover the coil with the pole pieces that won’t be seen with something like painters tape. Light adhesive. Put a few dabs of silicone on the tape. Clamp said pickup into the cover and solder at the base. It might not get rid of all the microphonics but it’ll take care of most. I’ve had good success with this method a few times now.

Sweet sounds easy enough to do without having to completely uninstall the pickup again

I’ve done it while a pickup was installed in my Les Paul lol. Just put some rags down on top of the body to protect it a bit.

The Scarlett/Scourge set was way too low output for me, but you will probably like it. I did like the Alpha/Omega set quite a lot, though.

I was debating trying out the alpha too. I think the scourge is slightly higher output than the pegasus, which I have in my LP and also love

I think I'm going to try one of the new rail Nazguls in either my CU22 or vela next lolol
