sounds SOOOOOO sweet in my charvel with Alnico 2 mag.

There was a short pair on ebay that the guy said was from an early 60s paf, pat, or p-90. Went for $46 + ship. seems a little steep. bought some alnico 2s and 4s from addictionFX instead.

A2 mags for $46? LOL. I'll bet they sold too, didn't they?


So you were able to fix your pickup?

A2 mags... hehe

Last July me and my boss (who also plays guitar) were laughing because there was a price tag off of a 1958 Gibson Les Paul that sold for almost $550.

the only thing I could imagine someone doing with that is if they actually had a 58 and could say they had the original price tag.

no, could not find the coil end wire. was thinking about unwinding it and then rewinding. Sacrifice for science. Would love to learn the hidden art of re-wiring.

They sold alright. I was pissed, I wanted them. If I heard no difference between them and my addiction FX A2s, I would put them back out to wolves.

Kinda cool to own a vintage part and use it me thinks.

LOOK to the LEFT!
My first Roxie after seeing Neil with one... that was 11 years ago...
A Roxie with a set of Hybrids is my all time favorite axe... hopefully you set him up with a 59/Jazz Neck Hybrid

they are in town tomorrow. I've know that he's been playing GMPs since the 90s. that cat is an awesome and very under-rated guitarist.

Thanks for posting my review Evan.

Digging your review as well, and Jon from @guitarnoize's sound clip demo is also very helpful. I SO want one of these for my next build!

Re: HOW TO: Make a 59/Custom Hybrid

Thanks. I tried to record some demos last night to upload, but with the combination of my carpal tunnel flaring up, and my mediocre recording gear, I'm not sure it'll be up to snuff. I'm hopefully going to check it out again tonight, see if anything sounds any good.

I really wish I wasn't such a broke ass, so I could get myself something half decent to record audio and video together.

wow that sucks bro! cause just that little demo you did of the tone zone with different caps was a huge help to me.
