I've put a set of Duncan Antiquities and a new wiring harness (50's style) with 500K pots and bumble bee caps (.022 bridge, .015 neck) in my Tokai les paul. :) The neck pickup is pretty ballsy, but the bridge is just a bit too thin, and noticeably weaker. I've got some magnets here, including...

Anybody have luck (or better even a demo) of a '59/custom hybrid in a mahogany body with maple neck, rosewood fingerboard? I bought a new Music Man Stingray RS this July 4th at GC. I love the guitar - especially now with it setup right - but I feel like the bridge needs to be a bit warmer and...

Were standard in a Single Cut trem, I want to load them in a yamaha RS620 I picked up, with a maple cap, hog back & hog 3 piece neck with rw fretboard. Has anybody got any experience with magnet swaps on these pickups?

The bridge in my gibson historic is just a wee bit too vintage for me... :) While I love the neck pickup, I just find the bridge to be too bright, too thin, and a bit anemic. I am thinking of replacing it (worst case), doing a magnet swap (best case), or having it wound a bit hotter (no idea...

Need some help from you magnet gurus. I bought a set of lindy fralin pure PAFs 8-9k set and they weren't quite right, so after I spoke to lindy on the phone, I started swapping pickup magnets. Lindy had an AII in the bridge and neck. I tried a A4 in the bridge, but it was too in my face, and I...

What magnet would slightly increase the output of the Antiquity bridge, and bring out more mids and bass? I have a Gibson custom shop chambered historic reissue (CR8). The bridge is too thin (due to the change in accoustics of the guitar I am guessing). And the output of the guitar is lower...

Anybody try some different pickups in their chambered historics? I'm looking for a vintage burst tone from a CR8. Thanks!

I have a 1970's T-Top pickup with a screw coil measuring 8.2K and a slug coil measuring 3.84K. Anybody have an idea what this is, or if this is broken, what the issue could be? Thanks!

Has anybody run this combination in their SL2h? I am looking for a less aggressive pickup combination - I prefer to get the goods out of my amp and pedals than out of the guitar. After studying everything online, I was thinking of the Duncan Custom Alnico II tremolo version (TB-11) with an...

I bought an EVH78 Seymour Duncan Custom shop pickup... but it won't fit in the 2007 fender american deluxe HSS "H" routed hole. The hole is not deep enough. I don't want to take a router to a guitar. I don't like it. What pickups actually fit this guitar, other than the super shallow suk-a$$ dh-1?

Has anybody made the hybrid for the american standard hss? I have a 2001 alder body fat texas special, with the pearly gates. From what I've read, the hybrid could be perfect for me. I am not sure which sized pickups I would need to start with to do this... I think I read that there are issues...

Has anybody seen if the custom shop can do a 78(EVH) or a CC in the SC size? Any chance in hell that somebody here has actually done it?

Funny, I always end up back on the Duncan Custom, or a Custom with the magnet swapped to an alnico. But it's always a custom where the search stops for me. To me it sounds the way a pickup is supposed to sound. It's articulate, ballsy, balanced, great harmonics, tight bottom-end, good for...

I have a Seymour Duncan custom shop "Evenly Voiced Harmonics", which is double cream, purchased recently on Ebay There's two issues: 1. It's F Spaced 2. There's slight color difference between the slug and screw coil bobbins. Ever so slight, but if you're a microscopic freak like me, you'll...

I have a set of double cream WCR Fillmores. Nobody's terribly interested in those, and I really need a double cream duncan custom. So I started thinking... (dear god, save us all)... What's the big difference between a wcr fillmore and a duncan custom? My Fillmore is a hand wound 13.5K 43ga...
