    Could I have a defective 7-string blackout on my hands?

    Hi, Well, it's 3:42 am and I've been trying to figure this out for almost 5 hours now, so I figure this'll be my last stop. I've recently picked up a set of 7-string EMG-sized Duncan Blackouts to put in an Ibanez RGA427Z with a trem. I'm normally a pretty competent soldering/wiring person...

    Trying to replace actives with passives (and not going well)

    Hi, I've been at this one awhile, and still can't seem to figure it out. I've got a Schecter C1 HellRaiser that came stock with 81/85s. Wanted to swap it out to Invader/Jazz, but it produced some terrible hum! Then found out that I needed a bridge ground, so I had it drilled and did it...

    Are my pickups out of phase/wired wrong?

    Hey folks. I'm trying to resurrect an old Peavey Tracer from the dead. I've put a Dimarzio D-Sonic in the bridge, Duncan hot rail in the middle, and Dimarzio YJM in the neck. I redid the wiring entirely since someone else did it last time and did some pretty wacky stuff in there. I thought...

    Will Hot Rails fit in my old Charvel?

    Hey there, First let me say thanks for all the help. This forum has basically taught me how to solder and do all the stuff I do with pickups. I have a 1990 Charvel 375 Deluxe that I'm modifying. It used to be HSS, now it's HSH. I am dying to put a rail in the middle, but my Charvel's...

    Wiring problems with a USA RR1

    Hi there, I've done a few rewires before, with success, but this one is really throwing me for a loop. My RR1 has had a few pickup changes on it, from JB-Jazz to Distortion-JB to Distortion-59 to L500XL-59 and now back to Distortion-59, and i'm running into a problem. I'm pretty sure I've got...

    2 pickups with AfterBurner & coilsplit - is that possible?

    Hi there, I'm new to wiring, please bear with me. I've got a USA custom Jackson RR1 that I'm doing some modifying to - basically, I've got a Bill & Becky L500XL in the bridge, and a '59 (or maybe pearly gates) in the neck. Both are 4-conductor, of course, and it's 1 volume 2 tone. Here's the...
