Thanks for the info fuzzy beard...I thought that may be the case. Can you tell me if the L-500L/C combination is a good idea...Do they complement each other and provide balanced tones/output? Also, would you say the 500C is more like a P90?

BTW, I like the idea of having more brilliant trebles as long as the p'ups will not be mismatched in any way! Plus, I'm trying keep the cost down and find a home for these particular p'ups...They have been in my drawer for too long! Besides, I'll eventually have the Carvin folks build me a custom California Carved Top that is closer to Gibson/PRS specs. And, I will probably incorporate some BL's (e.g., L-500XL and/or L & L-500R) into that project!

Thanks again for the info!

Tom
