So I've paired it down to two custom shop SDs. Which do you like better? The Warren pickup or the George Lynch Super V? Is there anyone who as tried both? thx

Hey guys I currently have a hardtail strat with a standard chrome hardtail bridge with graphite saddles. I have a brass bridge with brass saddles lying around that appears to be much beefier/heavier and a bit thicker. My question is if I switched to the brass bridge, would I notice a...

What were your experiences and what did you like/not like about the switch from a JB to a PATB?

Anyone had luck with a JB in an Alder strat with maple neck and ebony fretboard? Is this an ok setup? Thanks

So here's something I've been thinking about. I own quite a few more modern Dimarzios and Seymour Duncan pickups. I always find my self going: "How do I get the sound on this one Judas Priest album." or "How do I get the sound on this one Ozzy album" For me most of the music I love most was...

So I've never played a strat style guitar outfitted with just a bridge humbucker and a neck singlecoil but I've noticed that more and more really serious guitar masters such as Vito Bratta, Andy LaRoque, Greg Howe, George Lynch, and tons of others sometimes play a super strat with a bridge...

Waddya think? Did Jake E Lee and Vito use 250k or 500k pots on their JBs?

Hey guys- I have a Gibson T-Top pickup laying around and it measures at about 8.6 ohms. Is it good in the neck of a HH alder strat with maple board? I'll be using a PATB1 in the bridge. Will the T-Top sound ok?

So are these similar? PATB1 vs Dimarzio Norton. How would they compare? I know the PATB1 is a tad bit more of a modern sounding Duncan offering. Is one better at cleans than the other etc.. It's going in the bridge of a strat. thx

Anyone use a Screamin Demon in the neck? I have a PATB1 in the bridge and I'm thinking of using a Screamin Demon in the neck of an Alder Strat with maple neck and board. Would that be a good combo?

I have always heard the Air Norton in the neck position described by some as "airy, spacey and dreamy" so I've decided to put that in my Japanese HH Fender strat with maple board. Now I need your guys help in selecting a bridge pickup. I want something heavy for the bridge to pair with the Air...

Hi guys- I've never used a Duncan Distortion but have heard great things about it, especially since it has some awesome George Lynch credability. Can you guys give me an idea of what some of the differences are between the PATB1 and the Duncan Distortion? What could i expect putting either in...

Those of you who have tried both the breed bridge and the air zone bridge, which did you like better? What are the differences? Thanks

So I'm building yet another strat- Alder, HH setup, tremolo, maple neck and maple fingerboard. Which combo do you like better or would you recommend? 1) Breed Bridge and Breed Neck or 2) Air Zone Bridge and Air Norton Neck 3) Norton Bridge and Air Norton Neck Thanks!

I am looking for a bridge bucker to match up nicely in an HSS strat with Dimarzio Virtual Solo in neck and middle positions. Would you recommend Super Distortion or Air Zone? It's going in a fairly bright Alder Hardtail with Ebony fretboard. I want something that isn't shrill, has sustain and...
