Congrats on the sweet 60th.
Is adjusting the volume knob on your amp to correlate with the varying output of the particular guitar you are playing presenting you with a hardship?
I don't see why turning up the volume on your amp would be an issue if you are otherwise happy with your 60ths tone response sustain etc.
If you prefer your "bolder" sounding R8, measure the dc resistance of the pups in each guitar. If the R8 is substantially higher then perhaps a higher output pickup would provide you with a 60th more to your liking while also alleviating the necessity to adjust the amp's volume after switching guitars.
The standard alnico magnets II,III IV and V can change the tonal characteristic of the pickup which may alter the perceived output depending on the frequency response but it will not boost output in any meaningful way.
Good luck.
Cool, thanks. The bridge has to be a certain way for it to work well with me.
Turning the amp up is not something I mess with much. I like to set it and leave it. Far be it from me
to switch guitars and sound over the top loud. i`ll forget.
I`ll work with it a while longer and see if I can get a medium. The tone is really good. i`d
like to keep it.
