I know Seymour Duncan makes them, but I can’t find them online anywhere. I’m looking for an alnico 2 pro neck pickup in white zebra. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Came back from tour to find my explorer had this surprise for me It’s my fault I mean I left the masking tape on there How can I clean this off? I don’t have naphtha etc I’m thinking elbow grease with some water and light soap? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Seems as if there is a cavity between the binding and the back of the neck At first glance I thought it was just the finish The guitar doesn’t feel or sound any different Was thinking this is probably cosmetic. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I’m a little off right? Is it the G? It’s always the G isn’t it? I wonder if this is real or some weird psychological effect due to everybody on Facebook saying les Paul’s can’t stay in tune. Ever heard an opinion about something so many times you forget it isn’t fact? Sent from...

Does your Gibson Les Paul sound like a cheap flute? Does your neck pickup sound like one of those Yamaha keyboards you could get at Costco in the 2000s? Hi, I’m astrozombie and for the past 15 years or so, I’ve played the electric guitar. Without knowing it, that terrible quality I couldn’t...

Seems like the finish just chipped It was fine just yesterday and I picked at this thing to see what it was and it just a tiny bit bigger So to answer my own worry this won’t affect anything except the way it looks and my guitar will be fine, right? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

after having used it at around 1/8” from the strings forever, I backed it off today. The horrible compression disappeared and the sound became much more PAF like. I thought to myself, these pickups don’t like being too close to the strings. I think maybe they’re designed that way... Sent...

The high e seems to be breaking right after the nut towards the tuners. I look at the nut, the slot itself is a little wider than it should be from when I was using an .11 and had the nut cut for that. It’s definitely not binding. When I last too wrapped the guitar, the string fared better...

Will it sound like this? Guitar is typical charvel setup. Different woods obviously... https://youtu.be/aFifG2MjFng I’m looking for that kind of Schenker/ Van Halen 1 sound out of the bridge of my explorer. However I would like for the harmonics to be very very alive. Other option is...

Just noticed these epic pits on my explorer’s board. What do you say? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You know the claims: sustain, better tuning etc. What about real world experience? Anyone replaced a bridge on a guitar and found noticeable differences? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’m wondering what other set of Duncan’s gives the same low mid oomph or a similar tone. What’s the closest? I have the slash set in my les Paul and am looking for something only slightly different for my explorer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ve researched it myself but have no way of knowing for sure since I can’t test before I buy. I’m looking for a smooth preferably high ratio tuner for my explorer. The stock mini Grover’s leave a certain sour taste in my mouth. They function fine but feel like they are greased with cooking...

Hello, I’m selling or trading a set of Gibson humbuckers that came stock on my Gibson explorer. I’ve Owned the guitar for months and the pickups are fully functional. Right now I don’t have actual photos of them but they are installed in the guitar right now and are in great condition. I’m...
