Re: Telecaster bridge plate I bought a partscaster a while back that came to me with a glendale "tone ring" and a 2 point strat trem they make these plates out of cold rolled steel http://www.glendaleguitars.com/glendale19.htm looks like this Can't speak to how the sound wound vary with or...

Re: KB1N and KB1B Thanks for your interest Peter! Since the OP didn't post a picture of the pickup as viewed form playing position, I'll include one to help make sense of the unique mounting system for the bobbins. Because the pickup uses two large blades, the blades are press fit into...

Re: Lil 59 with a possible problem HI there! I think I know what might be going on here As you may know the little 59 pickups have a PCB on the bottom with some pretty simple trace that carries the coil start and finish signals from the coils to the solder pads where the lead wire attaches...

Re: Change function of push pull pots It's kind of amazing how much fun you can have with some DPDT push/pull pots and four-conductor humbuckers Here are basic diagams for coil splitting And the basic lead wiring for the p/p pot to do series/parallel switching instead of coil splitting...

Re: Pickups that fit EVH Wolfgang Standard (Indonesian Model) I believe those guitars ship with Humbuckers that mount with a short leg baseplate utilizing U shaped legs Production level Seymour Duncan Humbuckers are made with traditional rectangular shaped baseplates but we can make pickups...

Re: Modified two more of my Yamaha Pacifica's this week Just to add some more gratuitous guitar porn, here is a pic of a US made Pacifica that lives in the Engineering dept. here Definitely a great playing and sounding guitar,loaded with duckbuckers in the neck and middle slots

Re: Have you ever stopped playing because of an injury? How'd it go? Some really inspiring stories on here and also some great cautionary tales. As a lot of people have already noted here the most important thing you need to play music is a desire to play! Look at someone like Jason Becker who...

Re: Modified two more of my Yamaha Pacifica's this week I think the magnet flip was in reference to a switching scheme that isolates both inner coils or both outer coils in positions 2 and 4 on the 5-way switch. Flipping the magnet in one pickup and using different leads allows for those...

Re: TB-4 screw holes On our trembucker baseplates only the center hole of the three holes on each mounting tab is threaded. If direct mounting with a smaller diameter wood screw the outer holes could potentially be used, but they are not intended to be used for mounting the pickup generally...

Re: NAD: Mesa Mark 3 Blue Stripe with Simul-Class :wall: My trusty Mark III Red Stripe Bought it, or rather traded for it, as a beat up black tolex combo from my local GC a long long time ago. Needed a replacement evm 12L a few years ago and happened to score the hardwood/wicker cab loaded...

Re: Help needed. Triple **** ring. Flip polarity This Diagram shows the wiring you would need to do on the tripleshot to get your pickups back in phase, enjoy!!

Re: Jimmy Page wiring - again but another symptom I'm hoping Dynaflux chimes in to confirm this correction, but this change of wiring would change the orientation of the series/parallel switching

Re: Neck pickup to match my CS bridge humbucker. This is a cool little mod to cut lows out of a neck pickup that's a little too tubby, the nice thing about it is it takes about 5 minutes to do, is totally reversible, and can also by enagaged/bypassed via a miniswitch/Push-pull...

Re: Neck Humbucker Single Coil Help!?! I don't know if anybody has mentioned our Custom Shop Strat under Humbucker pickup yet http://customshop.seymourduncan.com/strat-in-humbucker/ We build these as true to form strat single coils, but we actually have recently developed a method to build a...

Re: Jimmy Page wiring - again but another symptom It sounds to me like series and parallel operation are reversed on this push pull and you are getting the series operation in the 'down' mode. When putting two pickups in series, unless you bypass the pickup selector one of the pickup...
