Hi, I have the older Korean model which is considered better than the new one. Its got an extremely heavy body which my luthier believes is more likely to be Ash than swamp ash, it's as a heavy as a good Les Paul. Other than that, its got the bird's eye maple neck and bird's eye maple...

Hi, I have an ESP S800 strat guitar. it's got a two piece beautiful swamp ash body, with maple neck and rosewood fingerboard. I already replaced the bridge pickup with Hot Rails and it does its gig on the best side for me. I'm looking for a Neck and Middle combo that will work together as...

Hello folks, Here's the deal: I have a 1990 Charvel 475. I took out all the active system, and I replaced it with 500K pots. I put lil59 in neck position and vintage rails in the middle. Currently in bridge: Super Distortion which I do NOT like. It sounds too boomy, too much lows that don't...

Hi, I bought this guitar recently and while I love this guitar a lot, it didn't come with the original stock pickups but rather Epiphone pickups, so the shop gave me 2 seymour duncan pickps to compensate. I got a 59 for neck and Custom5 for bridge. No matter how I set their heights something...

Hi, My guitar is RG7321 with fixed bridge, and it's a basswood body, you know how it works... It has a 5 way toggle switch and 2 humbuckers. I need recommendations for pickups that would give me high output, smooth sound that won't force me to dig inside the guitar as I play, something that...

Hi all, I got my stack plus pickups and a 5 way american switch with 4 plus 4 terminals. I used the SD schematics with the bridge being splitted automatically on position 4. I want to do the mod that will enable me not only to use this auto split but also being able to use the bridge pickup...

Hi, I'm using the schematics from the SD site with 1 humbucker, 2 STK S4, with a 5 way super switch that I have. There's one thing I didn't take under consideration which isn't mentioned in the schematics either: grabbing a middle position STK. I ordered 2 STK S4 for neck position to fit in...

Hi, I got my hands on a nice looking and feeling Cort G260. It has two single coils and a humbucker, mighty mites... well, they have a nice name but it ends there... Tone woods are: swamp ash body, maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, 12" radius and pretty large 22 frets... I love it... It...

Hello, I have a Patriot Custom with stock Rockfields. I'll try to do best to describe what it is that bothers me about them and hopefully you could recommend me an SD pups that will fit in. Okay, so here's how it goes: First, I like the guitar. It feels good on my hands, the neck, frets...

Hello Folks, I haven't been here for over a year, I just noticed this when renewing my profile. Heh... so much has changed through that time. My playing got evolved and I got better skills as a musician and a guitarist... I also got a guitar that I lusted for long. Charvel 475 with black...

The story is simple: I have a 1992 RG550 Ibanez with dimarzio humbuckers. I have Air Norton in the neck position and Steve's special in the bridge position, both F spaced. I'm dissatisfied with the Steve's special. I need a better rhythm bridge pickup that can give me the balls, not a piercing...

Hi there, I have two humbuckers, one is a SH-2N and the other is a bill lawrence 500XL for bridge. I want to install them on my KE3. Thing is, I want to split them both and I only have a volume pot, no tone. The question is: can I wire both pickups to the same Push Pull pot that would split...

Hey all, I've recently bought this axe brand new and I love it. What I don't like is the pickups it has, the Detonators if I read correctly. Here's the thing, they simply have way TOO much bass in general. I need something to brighten up the guitar and lower the excessive bass it delivers...

Hello folks, I recently bought a second hand crafted in japan strat 50's reissue. It has all original. I've replaced the bridge with a Dimarzio Chopper and kinda like what it does. Then I tried the cruiser neck and I felt terrible for that and after a very short time period I brought back the...

Hi, I did some listening to different SD pups here and there. Based on the samples on the SD website and comparing with the pups on my guitar, the Framus, I've came to conclusion that it's very similar so based on that I could assume that if I liked a certain pup it might sit nice on my...
