Yay! So the B3 really does work? That's pretty cool, lot less fussy than a B7.

Weird about the pickups. So a "little weaker" re-wind didn't help? I'm about to have that done to mine.....

Yeah, I measured the pickups in my CE100 and they were both around 6-ish from the jack. I went with 6 and 7 thinking I might want a little more oomph in a new, tighter, smaller bodied guitar. They do sound very good, and the middle position has much of that Franz magic, but they just don't sound the same. I think it's unrealistic to expect them to. Franzes are just very open and unconstricted sounding to me.

I think you posted that you were going even lower. I'm curious to see how that works. He would probably rewind them again for little or no cost.
