Anyone using the Eclair neck? Thoughts?

Hello All Just got my Ibanez SZ320 back with new Pegasus bridge and Sentinent neck. I ordered them with black metal covers. I know many of you are considering this exciting new set, so here is my take..... The guitar is mahogany with a thick maple cap. Pegasus: Medium Hot....somewhat rude/raw...

Hello Tone Mongers I haven't visited in awhile but a new guitar usually means new SD pickups, so here I am again. I already have a guitar with a Custom 5 and another with a Custom. I find the C5 to be powerful and ballsy with scooped mids and a moderate, vintage sounding high register, While the...

Hello All, Just got my newest guitar out of the shop and for those interested, I thought I'd share a review of the pickup combination I chose. The guitar is a mahogany telecaster with Cocobolo top, Flame Koa neck and ebony fingerboard. I used a Custom in the bridge and a Cool Rails in the neck...

Anyone know where I can get some White Widow? :approve: Just kidding. Im assembling a tele style guitar with a SH-5 Custom in the bridge and a COOL RAILS in the neck. I have only two knob holes on the Tele control plate, so I had an idea..... Would I be able to use 2 stacked pots, enabling me...

Not much info on this puppy, even after searching old forum posts. I'm seriously considering getting an S-Deco bridge, 12K w A5, and using it in a mahogany/cocobolo top Telecaster I'm assembling. This is one of the CS "mystery" pickups, with no soundclips or even a description below its...

A buddy of mine that I jam with recently bought a Schecter with the EMG 81/85 combo in it. I have the same exact guitar with a Custom 5/Jazz combo, so I told him to bring it over......I'll admit, I'm a little biased, but I tried to be fair..... We tune to dropped C on these guitars, and played...

Hey there everyone. I had a post going last week about replacing my Tele lead pickup, which was a Hot Lead that turned out to be "malfunctioning". I considered a Quarter Pounder, but ultimatley went with a JD to sort of match the Antiquity in the neck. I also installed the 4 way switch mod...

What's Up Tone Stoners, I've posted about this before, and got a few helpful tips, but I figured one more post to try and gather some more opinions would be worth a shot. I have a 50's RI Tele with an ANTIQ Neck pickup and a HOT Lead pickup. The ANTIQ neck is staying. No question. Great...

Hello Tonesters..... I'm just trolling for opinions here......I'm always happy to lend a pickup reccomendation or comment on a pickup I use, so throw me a bone, eh? My Tele currently has a Hot Lead and an Antiquity Neck pickup. The neck pickup is an absolute masterpiece, but the bridge pickup...

what's up guys? For the last 2 years, I've had a Hot Lead/Antiquity Neck combo in my Tele. I'm in love with the Antiquity neck, it's fat, warm, and buttery. The Hot Lead, I'm not so in love with. It's very gritty, bright, and metallic sounding. I realize that the high midsy spank of a Tele lead...

Hello Tenacious Tone Tweakers Happy New Year to all............... It's tax refund time again (I get mine RIDICULOUSLY early) and as usual, It's new guitar/seymour duncan pickups time as well. Last year, a few of you helped me choose a Screamin Demon/Full Shred set for the guitar I bought then...

Hello fellas..... just was noticing....... A2P and other PAF style Humbuckers range from 7k-8.5k usually. Higher gain units like the Custom series range from 14K-17K. Other than the Screamin Demon at 10K, where are the humbuckers that would range from 10K-14K? Is there some reason that theyre...

Let's just say I really like the tone but I don't use tremolos. Can I get this pickup in regular humbucker spacing? Would this be a full blown Custom Shop model or a Shop Floor Custom?

Can anyone tell me the tonal/gain differences between an EMG 81/85 set and a Duncan Blackout set? I've never messed with active pickups and I usually like less aggressive HBs, but I like to have a pallette of different sounds and I'm considering trying some actives in a new "metal" styled...
