I just took the neck pup out of my pickguard and mounted it to the body, and there is a noticeable audio difference. My tone got a little less jangly, which is okay cause it's not a strat. I gained a tighter bass and the mids got a little more present. It also made the pup cut a little more.

I could also just say that the pup became overall stronger sounding. The tone of the two slot also improved. It's tighter and cuts more.

I was looking for a true vintage tone and now when I got the right bridge and saddles, and mounted the neck pup to the body, it is prefect. which is what I was looking for to begin with. For me, this is it.
