Okay, I hate the way my Humbuckers sound when coil tapped or whatever. So I play an Ibanez 5 way switch. On 2 and 4 it makes the NEck and Bridge Humbucker sound like single coils!!! NOO!OO!O!O!!O SO I want positions 2 and 4 to blend the humbuckers with the single coil in the middle...

Why the hell not? I own EMG's SD's and Dimarzios. Awhile back I posted that the SD's sounded too much alike. Well, I took your advice and got a new amp and I think that was part of the problem. So I am here to repost for anyone who is considering a pickup upgrade. All of this is opinion and...

What did I do wrong? I checked the diagram a bunch of times. I am confident the wiring is okay. Does anybody know what I did wrong? Position 1 and 5 work fine [although backwards DOH!] but 2,3,4 have no sound whatsoever. Is the pickup dead? How in the world did that happen? It's pretty...

I know nothing. Series? Parallel? WTF? I don't get it. Pretty much I have three pickups, 2 humbuckers, and 1 single coil. I have SD Jazz, Lil 59, and DD on another guitar, but this one is going to be loaded with Dimarzio Humbucker from Hell, in the Neck. Ibanez S1 in the middle, and...

Jazz Lil 59 and DD. All sound pretty much the same. Bummed out about that. Really dissapointed in Seymour Duncan. I have to really strain my ears to hear any difference. Anyone else have this problem? Is there a solution?

So I'm done wiring my guitar. the SD's definitely sound different than the EMG's. Here is what I have noticed so far: 1. All three SD pups sound more alike than the EMGs. The Jazz and the DD dont sound as different han the SA and 81. The lil 59 is also only subtely different from the DD...

Ibanez s 470 fm: Green See Through Quilted Finish, with White PUPS: HSH The lil 59 in the middle is working great now, the distinction in this pickup from the stock ones really show themselves when I crank the volume. Got the Jazz and Distortion the other day. 55 bucks a piece at Guitar...

So what the F is a megaswitch, and what does it do that's so special? I am getting new pots for Tone and Volume. What size do I get, 250? 500? 1000? Anyways, thanks for all the help with my Lil 59, she's in there and rocking now. Got my Jazz and Distortion today too. Can't wait to get...

I have an Ibanez 470, HSH, with 1 volume, and 1 tone. Should I get 500 or 250 CTS tone pots? I am getting a 500 volume pot as well.

I'm really hoping I installed it wrong. This is what I did: I toook the old pick up out, which had 1 black and 1 white wire. Then I threw in the SD lil 59, and soldered the white and black of the 4 wires, right where the old ones went and then wired the Green and Red ones to ground. Is this...

So I changed my mind. . . . yet again. Got the lil 59 bridge to put in the middle of my HSH setup. So how do I put this bad boy in?

I was going to go Jazz - Neck Lil 59 - Middle Distortion - Bridge But then thought, what a waste of a humbucker space. My best clean sounds right now are from my other guitar, and it's a single coil EMG I think an SA and it sounds awesome. So F it. I really want a 59. NECK: 59...

Hot Rails vs. Lil 59 Why? Clean vs. distortion?

Saw a similar thread but I want slightly different sounds. My style is changing, so I'm starting to experiment with different tones. I have one guitar, a Washburn EC 29, a 29 fret shredder, with EMG SA and EMG 81. So I want a bit more variety with the Ibanez guitar. Lately been getting into...
