May I suggest that you give it a try stock. I've heard wonderful things about the Seymours but why spend the $$$ if the stockers will do the job.

I'm not sure but I think FMINUS is talking about the Custom Shop Falcon with SD pickups, not just replacing pickups in a TLDS...that's the way I'm reading it anyway and I could very well be wrong.
In any case, I've had my TLDS for about 2 1/2 years now and I've seen no reason whatsoever to change the pickups. The stock Dynas are great.

One more thing: With a White Falcon I think the grey case with purple interior would look much better with a Falcon than the blonde cowboy case.
Again, just my .02

Do yourself a big favor and give the Dynas a long hard listening to before you start swapping out. Just from what I have seen in person the SD's have a bigger impact on the Jets then they do on the big hollowbodies. Then even at that I'm not sure there's that much of a difference to warrant the expense. |

One other thing I didn't mention...the premium cases, whether grey or "cowboy", are rather heavy. I haven't put one on a scale but I'd bet they probably weigh at least 20 pounds empty. Excellent protection, just a little heavier than your average case.

Yeah, especially after the gig when it's time to load out! That's a good time to have a girlfriend/roadie that's good at heavy lifting...

I think the one I have that came with the guitar is this one:
Anyone know why the "premium" cases are 3x times the price?
