Hi I've got this batwing SG that I modded with a third pickup route in the middle. I like this arrangement because, when I blend in the third pickup, I get some stratty tones that are very unusual on a Gibson. I'm planning on putting three Phat Cats. If I had my way, I'd have a 5-way blade...

I've got a Flying V, with regular wiring (two 'buckers: 59/Custom hybrid, Tonerider Alnico IV; two volumes, master tone, three-way switch). It's always worked great. Recently I took it apart to get it refinished, and when I put it back together, there were problems with it. I figured that, in...

Hi, I'm about to wire a guard for a Melody Maker project. I have two 4-lead humbuckers, the usual LP wiring kit (4 pots and a three-way switch) plus an on/on/on mini switch. My plan is to go for the usual Gibson LP wiring, and adding the mini switch as a master series/parallel/split for both...

In my experience, really hot pickups (JB, Invader, Custom, 500T, Super Distortion...) tend to be very full bodied (as compared to more moderate options) and big on bass. Is there any pickup with massive output that's really, really bright? In other words, that doesn't have a lot of bass to it...

I have a Flying V project and soon I'll have to put some pickups on it. I like the stock set, but right now it isn't quite cutting it: a bit too muddy and very middy cleans. What pickups work well on a V? What I'm looking for: A humbucker set available with nickel covers, I want the classic...

I need to wire pickups in a Les Paul with some pots that I could use a little help with. They're CTS 500k SPST, like the ones Gibson used on the Trad Pros, Sig T... for splitting. They look like this, but with the long, splined shaft: Here's the typical wiring for the Gibsons who used it...

I have a Billie Joe Armstrong signature LP Junior and I'm toying with the idea of replacing the H90 for a regular P90. I like the general sound and output, but I find it a bit muddy and not clear enough (I have an SG with SD Antiquity PAFs, and it sounds brighter and even more "single-coily"...

Hi, new member here from Barcelona, Spain. I used to have an account here a few years ago, but I'm looking to be a more active member now. I recently bought a couple of Antiquity humbuckers for one of my SG's and they woke her up nicely This is what I'm currently playing through and this is...
