    Warm Bridge Buckers

    Is it safe to say the Alnico Pro II is the warmest bridge bucker in the "vintage" category? What would the ranking be from warmest to brightest if you had to guess?

    Need pickup help with my new Ibanez AS103

    I recently got this guitar and, it's really great. And I know the pickups are supposed to be good in this guitar (Classic '58s) so maybe I'm just wierd but, in this particular guitar the bridge is too bright to my ears and the neck is too boomy.... So, what pickups would you recommend to warm...

    What pickups for a 335 type?

    I will be replacing the pickups in a Sheraton II and would like your input. I want to stay in the vintage range but like to kick it a little into overdrive sometimes (think Kings of Leon and Foo Fighters). I don't want muddy or in-articulate pickups either (especially in the neck). Any thoughts?

    Bridge: Sparkly (not shrill), full (not woofy)???

    Is there a medium output bridge humbucker that could be classified as having sparkle without being shrill or biting and full without being woofy, boomy, or muddy? This would be in an alder bodied, maple neck guitar.

    Alt 8 in a strat?

    From what I've seen here, the Alt 8 seems like a very versitile pickup... Do you all think it would work well in the bridge position of an alder strat? I play hard rock/metal but have to tone it down sometimes when I play at Church.

    HSS suggestions for Hard Rock/Metal

    I have a Carvin Bolt HSS (alder body, maple neck, ebony fretboard) and plan on switching out the pickups...going for a hard rock/metal tone here. My thoughts are leaning toward the Dimarzio Super 3 for the bridge. Where I need the most help is the neck and middle and what combos work best for...

    Best way to learn to solder

    I know you all can help because you guys rock! I've heard it's easy to swap pickups yourself and, I definately am all about saving money too. What's the best way to learn to solder (gotta learn that first)? Should I get a beater guitar and just practice removing and putting pickups back in...

    Which SD pickups would you recommend?

    I'm looking at acquiring an Ibanez Artcore AS83 or AS93 (ES-335 clone). After playing them I know I will be switching out the pickups. I know I want vintage, medium output humbuckers but can't decide between: Alnico II Pro's, '59s, Pearly Gates or Seth Lovers (or any combination there of)...
