I found a YouTube Channel from Japan that does these great demos of pickups. The poster plays the same sets of riff for every demo, and uses similar guitars, at least for the Dimarzio demos.
A lot of them were with what certainly looks like a 22 fret JS so they were pretty useful to me. As useful as anything on YouTube anyway.
With that said I am taking a chance on an AT-1 for the Bridge position. Another discovery about this new guitar was that either the threads or the actual hole in the neck pickup ( low E side) that adjusts the height is stripped. The spring is on the screw, but the pickup on that side is about as deep in the cavity as it could go and I can't get it to raise. The screw turns and I feel it catch then release. I've tried sticking a thin screwdriver in to lever up the pickup while turning the screw to see if I could get it to catch, no go. The pickup is a PAF Pro. If it's the pickups screw hoe that is messed up. I might try the Fred in the neck. I have looked online and if it is the hole there doesn't seem to be a really good fix for that.
If the AT-1 doesn't win me over, I promise the Breed Neck will go in!
