I recently swapped magnets in my P90's and need some clarification. My understanding is the polarity of each magnet should be matched via the long, skinny edge, not the end or the flat face. In a P90 the long edges facing the pole pieces should NOT attract. When I swapped magnets in my P90's...

Re: Bridge/Middle Series Just a final update on this... finally wired this puppy up and it works exactly as I hoped. • 5: M (n/m tone) • 4: N+M (n/m tone) • 3: N+B (n/m tone) • 2: B (bridge tone) • 1: B>N (series, w/bridge tone) The odd thing about these G&L pups is that the neck and middle...

Hey guys! Looking for a good condition Tech 21 Hot Rod Plexi w/box, either version, but would prefer the v2 Punch version. There are a lot of these out there, but nobody is selling them in decent condition. :/

Re: Bridge/Middle Series Here's the layout... Additionally, I can easily use a push/pull to swap the + wires on the neck and middle pups giving me tele wiring in #3, and B>N in series in #1: • 5: M (n/m tone) • 4: N+M (n/m tone) • 3: N+B (n/m tone) • 2: B (bridge tone) • 1: B>N (series...

I'm looking for a wiring diagram that adds a DPDT switch that gives me: • DPTP OFF: Normal strat wiring • DPTP ON: Normal strat wiring on 2 thru 5, position 1 (bridge) adds the middle p/u in series. Nothing else would change, just position 1. I've found a ton of circuits that do this, but also...

SD Classic Stack STK-S1 (neck, black cover) -- $50 Circa-1990. Also purchased at Guitar Center in Hollywierd, CA. There is approximately 12" of wire left. This is the original version (now discontinued). I've never heard the new version, but I'm told this original is slightly darker and hotter...

Does DiMarzio make something equivalent to the Quarter Pound? I've already tried the FS-1 (way too upper middy, nasal) and SDS-1 (sounds basically like a humbucker, no #2 quack). I'm looking for a beefy single-coil for my G&L Legacy, but the QP only comes in black. I also either need the RWRP...

Sorry for the long post... Axe #1 I just picked up a EBMM Sterling AX4 (Jabon wood, which I have no tonal reference for) and I'm super impressed with it overall, but the bridge pup is really HOT, bright and sizzling sounding -- way too brittle and very "DiMarzio" if that makes any sense. It...

For normal SD humbuckers, the slug coil is north (black/white wire pair) and the screw coil is south (red/green pair). In the neck position, the PU is wired identically but is physically reversed so the slug/north coils are the inside coils and the screw/south coils are outside coils. So when...
