ESP: Special order - touchdown (4)

I was at Beez's last weekend, had a push-pull coil split switch installed in my ESP Special Order M-II so that the Duncan JB there could be reduced to a single coil for a wider tonal option. I'm currently liking the fact that there's no tone knob in this guitar so it churns out that very protrusive growl.

This is how the control cavity looks like- spacious & absolutely neat all round.

Why not mod to a stack pot to have both tone n volume?

ah... interesting... but i am rather happy that at least 1 of my ESPs is different from the rest, ha ha ;-)

Yep, sometimes it's good to hear the raw tones (respnse, high-mid-low) from the pickups. :-)

can normal size JB (SH-4) be fitted in LTD M-series? or need trembucker version (TB-4)?

no fitting issues bro, it will fit into the cavity. the issue will be, the strings won't align with the humbucker's pole-pieces...
