For a little less bright output a DeA 2k PUP would also do nicely on that CS X150 and would mount directly to the mounting holes.

Thanks for your participation billydlight !billydlight said:I think a real old school actual DeArmond (preferrably with a white top) would be the way to go. They sound great for strumming when you lower the polepiece's
IMHO
If you're getting too much output, bass, and treble from your Dyna reissue pickup, less "flavor, presence, etc..." is a good thing for you, no? There's no "best, better", etc..., there's "best/better for your needs..."micmac said:He also advised me to NOT "downgrade" from the Dynasonic RI to DeA 2000. According to him, the DeA 2000 lacks flavor, presence: a entry level "flat" pickup which can not compete with other Dynas, even modern Dynasonic RI.
Actually, no, what I really mean is that I have fairly extensive experience with every pickup that's been mentioned in this thread, and I'm giving you advice based on the type of things you want to do with your guitar, and as it happens it would also be the easiest and cheapest solution.micmac said:But I guess you don't want to incite me to structurally modify this - maybe- unique X-150 and I'm convinced you're right. But - If needed - there are some solutions to install P90 , or even a bridge pickup without routing any new holes.
Actually, I'm mostly giging with a Guild D55 . For more for than half of the songs we 're playing in my 60's cover band , flattop is the guitar I used . So, i'm - one more time - more than agree with you Walter. :wink:Guild made plenty of excellent flattops that work great for that... :mrgreen:
At this time, I was understanding that preserve the integrety of the guitar was very essential for you....I'm not against customising guitars, but I'd leave that one alone - as it's probably the only guitar out there with exactly that configuration!
OK : now it's 100% clear for me that your advise to put back a DeA2000 is not a compromise because of the modification aspect. :mrgreen:Actually, no, what I really mean is that I have fairly extensive experience with every pickup that's been mentioned in this thread, and I'm giving you advice based on the type of things you want to do with your guitar, and as it happens it would also be the easiest and cheapest solution.
If your guitar were mine, I'd get out the router and drill, put two vintage white topped DeArmond pickups on it, a switch and two extra knobs

It seems the way to Rockab's heaven is easier to find than mine :wink:billydlight said:Here! here! I would do that in a second too!walter said: If your guitar were mine, I'd get out the router and drill, put two vintage white topped DeArmond pickups on it, a switch and two extra knobs, and a Bigsby
That's help to tame the boomy E a little bit , but in the same time, that tames the trebles more and high midranges more and more. So when I lower the Volume enough to tame ALL the boomy basses , the sound turns " empty ": loss of body, loss of overtones....billydlight said:Regarding the strumming you could always lower the volume a bit on the guitar, that helps with strumming too!
