Do you notice a sort of "clipping" effect happening on the bridge pickup if you strum or pick forcefully? I have a '61 reissue also, and I had to drop the pickups lower into the body to compensate for that effect as it seems to be causing a sort of "swelling" effect on the attack on high-gain pedals. Wondering if it's just me, but I seemed to notice it in your video too, around :08.

@terraf0rm Hi, for me, it does happen but really depends on the amp I am using. The little Champ heard in this video gets saturated quite easily. On my Vox AC-30 or my Marshall JMP-1 preamp, I don't get it.

Thanks! I put Ernie Ball 10/46 (the yellow pack). Years ago I tried different brands but went back to good old Ernie Ball.

Nice, man. What gauge strings do you use on your SG? Great vid.
