Hello all. I'm in the planning stages for a HH strat pickguard (most likely a PGn/S Deco V bridge) and was considering wiring it up with a 3 way blade switch, independent volumes, and a master tone. I was thinking of using push/pulls for volume pots, so I could do parallel/series switching...

Hello everyone. I just received a pickup I bought off fleabay and, while I'm 99% sure it's a real Duncan, I'm surprised at the color. In the auction pics, the light colored coil looked darker, but in person, it appears to be an almost parchment color. Was this a normal thing at some point, or...

Hello all. Recently, I've been playing around with guitars that I hadn't played too much, and I found that my Epi Nighthawk Custom sounded a little thin and pingy at the bridge. As some of you know, the Nighthawk has an oddly shaped bridge pickup route, which requires that whatever humbucker...

Hello all. I'm not super familiar with old strat pickups, and I feel like it's time for me to change that. I own a early 90's MIJ 62RI strat that I love. It sounds balanced and clear unplugged and sounds pretty darned good with tje pickups out of an old EBMM Albert Lee sig model (basically...

Anyone done this combo? I recently won a DD, and, having never owned one, would like to try it, most likely in my old Hamer Special. It currently has an Antiquity/S Deco V, which I love, but I've been kind of wanting to try something new. I *could* keep the Antiquity in the neck, but it may...

Hell all. I was cruising Fleabay recently when I came across a seller (I don't know if we name them here) that apparently parts out guitars and basses. Most of their stuff is made by Fender, so it' snot surprising to see that they sell necks and bodies along with pickups, tuners, and...

Hello all I'm wondering if there's a way to wire up a humbucker to operate in parallel as standard operation and to be able to use a push/pull pot to go to split coil operation. Would it be as simple as shunting one of the hot wires to ground with the pusj/pull? Thanks!

Talk to me about this amp. I saw a 1x12 combo selling locally for 700USD. It looks to be in pretty good shape. What do y'all think of them? What type of sounds are they geared towards?

Hello everyone. I was wondering if the Antiquity 'buckers are wound on butyrate bobbins. Not cork sniffing, but I want to be able to match the look if I get a bridge pickup from another manufacturer.

Do y'all order trembucker cut outs, or humbucker cut outs? Does it make a huge difference if I'm using Duncan trem-spaced humbucker at the bridge?

Hello all. I'm looking to see if anybody has any standard spaced, Custom Shop humbucker they might want to get rid of before I call get something wound up. I'm currently open to anything that'll fit a normal pickup ring and that is standard spaced or has a blade. Thanks in advance!

Hello all. I was wondering if anyone knows which of the three wiring options listed has the most output when done to side-by-side, full sized, PAF style humbuckers. I really, *really* like the Pearly Gates and Pearly Gates Plus pickups I have in a few HSH and HSS guitars when used in full...

Hey guys! I love semi and full hollow bodies, but I'm getting tired of wiring stuff through the f holes. Are there any semi's and full hollows out there (new or used) that use backplates? Should I stick to thinline teles?

Hi all. I was wondering if someone could explain the following diagram to me. I'm guessing that you get auto-splits, but what position does what? Thanks! Sent from my moto g stylus using Tapatalk

Hello all. One of my more recent acquisitions has been a MIJ Fender Floyd Rose Squier Series Strat. I bought it in less-than perfect condition, but, I can't resist a 90's MIJ Fender, especially when it's almost a twin (finish-wise) to my MIJ '62RI Foto-flame strat. I don't have a lot of...
