Hi all, Recently I read about Dean Zelinski Sidekick pickups: https://deanzelinsky.com/sidekick-pickup What is interesting, is that switching from humbucker to single-coil mode does not reduce output. Do you have any idea how it works? Did anyone try these pickups? Regards,

Hi, In the Jimmy Page wiring, both tone pots have capacitors connected to the ground. I'm thinking if it wouldn't be better to connect one capacitor to the "south start" of the pickup. When PU's are connected in parallel, the "south start" connects to the ground as usual. When PU's connected in...

Hi, I wonder how '59 and JB sound in a guitar with maple body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi all, I have a strange problem with SH-2 (neck pos.) that I can't solve. After putting into a guitar and soldering, I get practically no sound in humbucker (series connection) mode. I connect green and bare to ground, and black to pickup switch. Red and white are soldered together. But I can...

Hi all, Assume we have a guitar and two humbuckers. Each humbucker has screws for one coil and slugs for the other. In many guitars, pickups are mounted so that screw coils are outer and slug coils are inner. On the other hand, the place that the wire comes out of the pickup should be probably...

Hi all, Which of two models for Epiphone Nighthawk Custom Reissue (SH-1 or SH-4) would you recommend? How does their sound compare to the stock NHT pickup? I like to play rock, but sometimes Gary Moore-like blues, and, on the other hand, hard rock and metal. I need a pickup that has more treble...

Hi all, I found several e-shops selling Seyour Duncan pickups but to the US territory only (while other goods they can send worldwide). Could you please tell me the reason? I know these pickups are available in Europe etc. but at higher prices. Please correct me if I'm posting this in an...

Hello all, I've been using RP300 for over ten years and got used to its sound. Now I bought RP355 because I wanted to have more features, but I found its sound was quite different from RP300. I mean I set both processors for the same amp model (at least according to manual), EQ etc. but the...

Hi all, Could you please tell what is the difference (if any) in sound between these three: 1. True single coil 2. Single coil from a humbucker (coil-tap) 3. Humbucker coils connected in parallel I assume we have the same magnet, DCR, wire etc. details. Best regards,

Re: Please help me identify these pickups AFAIK Epiphone Probuckers are something like Gibson Burstbuckers. Here's the list of pickups used in Epiphone guitars: and Probucker-3 has a very similar data to Burstbucker-3. People say those Probuckers are quite good. I haven't heard any yet, but...
