    DiMarzio Blaze II Baseplate and Design

    Does anyone know, if the new PCB-Baseplate Blaze Humbucker only differs in the baseplate to the 'original' 1990 model or is the design also different (like putting zink inside gaps to compensate [virtualvintage]). many thanks

    Shootout - Dp107 vs. Dp161

    Its about an 80's MDF-made Guitar. (i hope this composite material will sound better than plywood/Multiplex) I can only effort either one of them, so i cant make a comparison myself. In case the Dp161 doesn't sound any different to a Blaze, i would stop considering it. Many Greetings!

    SH-8 in 5-way switch (1 humbucker only; Ibanez S7320)

    Re: SH-8 in 5-way switch (1 humbucker only; Ibanez S7320) This was the switch from stock... ... could it be possible that i soldered mirror-inverted? and probably the ground soldering was not so nice, maybe cause i stacked the new on top of the old garbage... but just suggestion
