So I like the Duncan Custom but I would like it to be slightly more scooped. Ive tried it with an alnico 5 and didn’t care for the lows and highs of it in this particular guitar. Is there a pickup like what I’m describing? Thanks

Hi everyone, so I’ve been trying fiddling with my guitar that I installed a blackout BMP-1 in. I initially had the module’s pot as the bridge vol but found the knob wat to stiff for my liking so I decided to switched it to a master tone control but I can’t get it to work properly, it work more...

So I installed a set of pearly gates pickups along with the BMP-1 system. First impressions I really like the overall sound I’m getting but the bridge pu could use some more highs and the bass side could use more oomph. I’m wondering how big of a step in magnet change I should go, A4, A5, A8 or...

Hi everyone, Does anyone know if it’s possible to use a passive bass contour control like on the reverend guitars with Blackout BMP-1 module? If so would I use the same value pot and cap for it. Thanks

Been searching and searching but I just can’t seem to find any info about a jazz bridge pickup with a ceramic magnet. Anyone ever try it? If so how would you describe it. I very curious, inquiry mind whatnot to know

I was wondering if I swap the A2 mag for a A5 mag in a APH-2B pu would it be similar to a jazz pu or something entirely different. Thanks

So what’s the characteristics of a double thick A5. How would you compare it to a regular A5 What would use them for. Thanks

So the back story, I have this guitar that had undesirable pickups in it so I changed them and in the process I rewired the guitar and upgraded the pots to cts and the caps which I have done a few dozen times on my guitars and friends guitars. The problem that I having on this particular guitar...

So I have a guitar that I tried numerous pickup in and non of them sounded good at all until I put a set of the Mick Thompson EMTY in. They brought this guitar to LIFE. Anyways I’m not a fan of having to use batteries because sometimes I might not use that guitar for long periods of time I was...

So I’ve been searching and searching and can’t find an answer to this. Has anyone put the full shred hex screws in a DD pickup set??? If so what was the effect??? I would try it myself but I don’t have any. Thanks

Hello everyone, so I have prs se tremonti that I’m trying to get kind of a modern vintage sound out of it but I can’t find a set of pu’s that sound good to me in it. I took out the stock pu’s because I didn’t want a high output pu’s in it. The first set I tried was my hybrid set that sounded...

Sorry if it’s a long read. First off I didn’t buy this guitar to try and sound like Tremonti at all, I just really liked the way it looked. I’m trying to go after the nu-metal type of tone like POD. I know the guitarist most likely used the stock 85/15 PRs pickups but I’m not going to spend that...

So I'm getting ready to change out a WLH set in my LP. I was going to put a DD set that I've used in another guitar. They sounded great but they could be a little much at times. I've seen some post about the DDn being the sh-7 model and I'm curious. Anyone have experience with the sh7/ sh6n in...

What p90 pickups would help get me closer to the early black sabbath tones.

So I’m considering trying a set of humbucker sized P90’s. So the guitar I’m thinking about putting them in Schecter Solo 6 hellraiser, solid mahogany and very dark sounding. I have tried a set of the rail hammer Billy corgan set on this guitar but there was a very strong mid presence that was...
