I did a thing……..(Reflex)

So, my Reflex is one of my favorite guitars I’ve ever had.
But!
The bridge pup lacked a little…..ooomph.
By itself, and most of my playing is on the bridge, it was a little too polite, too smooth.
I’m used to higher output pickups, and the Custom Dimarzio was just not cutting it.
Now, when in any of the split/parallel modes, the OG bridge shines.
But alone it was leaving me wanting more output.
So my dilemma was, can I find a high output pup that will still play well with the neck, split and parallel well, and still rip face?
I ended up trying a Duncan black winter, and it’s a total success.
Splits awesome, parallel has tons of tones, and it works with the rather hot custom dimarzio in the neck beautifully.
The only drawback is in split/parallel, the black winter doesn’t have quite as much highs as the custom Dimarzio, but it’s not an issue.
Still has mad mad mojo in all switching positions.
I just wanted to report that.
Put it out there for future Reflex owners who might be in the same boat as I was and unable to find much info on different pickups in the Reflex.
The Black Winter kills in the otherwise stock Reflex switching system.
Win!!!!!

Ps. I know this is sacrilegious here, as the reflexes pickups are revered, but I did it anyway.
Don’t hate me.
