Default My hollow-body jazz sound with new bridge

Hi,
I instaled on my jazz box new wooden hybrid bridge/ebony top and rosewood base/.Top is with compesation for perfect tuning - set up from ABR-1 Gibson bridge.
This is my first recording on it.
Jazz guitarists how do you like this sound?
Guitar has: laminated body, Benedetto tailpiece and Armstrong hand made floating humbucker instaled to ebony pickguard.
thanks

Thanks,
I'm quite intrigued buy the full/ fat tone you get from your floater!
I have a Bartolini floating PU on mine which is very good (and expensive) but I did'nt manage to obtain someting similar to your tone. The bartolini highlights the natural acoustic sound of the guitar rather than providing a full electric tone.
Is it a pickguard mounted PU?

I use Armstrong floatiing hand made humbucker monted to pickguard.
Orginaly pick up was monted to the end on neck.
It was not bad/loud/ but completly different sound/to much treble for me/.
I tried before Shadow Atilla Zoler floating PU but finally monted Armstrong.
