My plan on the SD is to move the bridge pickup 1/2" closer to the neck and have a 60's IV.

One of my VPs has GHS flats, and it sounds great.
Yeah my Eagle has reverse P pickups. It makes more sense to me!I like the reverse P's on my basses with that pickup layout.

Yes, but that might be nicer than I need.
Well, since my amps love Chucky's garage power and hate mine, I ordered two high end Furman power conditioners. One has an MSRP of $200 and the other $500. The small Furman I have doesn't help the static and neither did the $200 unit. Waiting for a 20a to 15a plug to arrive tomorrow to test the big unit. If that doesn't work, I'm not sure what else to try.
P.S. The Furman says voltage is 123v. So, not a sag…

The new property in Termo has a power line running through the property. Plan is to just drop a line straight from the pole. We'll have to see what conditioning we can build into the system.

I was looking at pictures, are the bridges further back on the 60s ones?
Since I'll be listing the Greco on Cl, do I want to scavenge the pickups?
if I scavenge, do I want to replace them with the Duncan's or the TB+?
do I have enough projects I'll just leave it as is?

PR 40s are FANTASTIC mics. My favorite solo kick mic, my favorite bass can mic, similar to an RE20 for vocals (amazing for spoken word/podcasts/broadcast, pretty good for singing).

Bridge or bridge pickup? Measuring from the middle of the 12th fret wire on a VP, the bridge pickup is 1/2" further away than a 60s IV. The neck pickup is correct.

Just saw this online…love the shark teeth pickguard. Reminds me of the muscle car air grabber!
Very Nice!this was my Nikki Sixx Schecter
The bridges themselves look further back on the body on old gibsons than it is on my VP, and the bridge and tailpiece are closer to each other on vintage Gibsons.
