Dont let Josh fool you, the 13's are for show only, he is really using 8's....lol I dont want to get any sniper action going but basically I am quieter in positions 1-3-5 then I am in 2-4 and those are quiet....For the noisy club/small venue this has solved the buzz fiasco without changing tone or having to turn it off or on....Something new that's all Bill.....Thanks for the complements...

very cool! its great that companies like Chapin, Suhr and Tyler are addressing the single coil noise issue. Ive got Suhrs SSC system in my last guitar and it rules. anyway, enjoy that thang!

Ah, yes.....you remember my maple neck/Fiesta Red (British style) "Hank a Houla"?
Many people think that it is the prettiest of my bunch.....
Best, Pete.
