Epi Tbird pickups

[exiledarchangel]

Well today I was feeling kinda bored, so I decided to check my Epi pickups with my multimeter.
Imagine my surprise when I saw about 6,85K ONLY on each pickups! I thought it had some hothothot pickups, but 6,85 is kinda vintagey...

I was playing back and forth between a standard Epi Tbird and the Goth Tbird. The Goth sounded a little hotter/grindy than the standard. I still ended up taking the standard home, simply because it played better and had less play wear on it. I assume they are the same pickups?

If I'm right only the new blackbird (the one with only one toggle switch) has different pick ups, a narrower neck and different body wood.

The Epi blackbird supposedly has a gibson t-bird neck profile.  If I ever have to deploy to the desert again I'm going get one.  I am very curious about the pick ups in them.  If they're hotter than the normal epi bird pups than I might not wait until my next deployment, and just get one sooner.

I'm thinking about shaving my Epi Bird's neck down to better resemble the Gibson neck. That sucker is huge!

The Epi Blackbird is all of those: Boosted mids in the pups compared to reg Epi TBs (bit Grabber'ish), Gibson style sleek neck and slightly thicker maho body than reg Epis, regular Epi TBs have alder bodies, buth Goth TBs have maho bodies too). Finally, the neck pup is closer to the neck too than on reg Epi TBs.
