Hey tech heads.. I'm posting here to get some opinions on a new build I'm embarking on. The idea is P90 tone, full on raunchy rock, simplified, like the old school Les Paul/SG juniors. I'm thinking mahogany body, possibly a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard, 2 P90 pickups (hot bridge and vintage style neck, A 5's), telecaster style controls and an aluminium wraparound bridge. This is a mockup pic, I know it's a semi-hollow . . not sure about that yet. So questions I have for anyone who might know, first off wrt a bridge - I'm really keen on the pigtail, but it's very pricey. http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Electric_guitar,_non-trem_tailpieces/Pigtail_Aluminum_Wraparound_Bridge.html As a cheaper alternative, the Wilkinson gets some good reviews, and is much much cheaper - I just want to check that I could use the same studs for both? Would like to be able to upgrade later. Can't seem to find that info.. anyone who can figure it out http://store.guitarfetish.com/wiliadinwrbr.html http://mywebpages.comcast.net/guitarheads/WilkinsonWrap.jpg Any opinions or advice? ?

Gearhead wrote Pups are not going to pick up vibrations that are not in the wood. Build a vibrant guit and you can swap pups to your liking without ever sounding bad. Build a dog and no pup in the world is going to bring it to life.

One piece sapele body, should be more than vibrant enough.... ?
