I just saw, and now can’t un-see, the string spacing my my APS-2 neck pickup is way off. The low E pole piece is almost entirely outside the string. I took a quick measurement and sure enough the spacing is about 52mm. Does SD make 50mm spaced neck single coils? Why make humbuckers line up...

Can someone point me to a diagram for very simple HHH wiring diagram that will give me the following options: 1 - Bridge 2 - Bridge + Middle 3 - Bridge + Neck / Toggle to Turn on Middle Alone 4 - Middle + Neck 5 - Neck Besides the toggle for the middle pickup I want to keep it super simple, no...

I've messed around assembling some custom Warmoth guitars, and was considering a Fat Nashville setup for my next project. Has anyone played something similar? Getting the tone to balance across all combos might be a challenge, but I like the "idea" of the setup. I'd keep the wiring simple, 5...

Here's a pic of my harness: Here's the original diagram: The guitar is a rear route Strat with 3 single coils, Duncan SSL2 in neck and mid, and Duncan SSL6 in the bridge. The pickups sound great, and I'm very happy with the tone. However, if I'm not touching the strings, or other metal...

I just bought my first bass. I've never played bass, it was a "what the heck" moment. I then read amp reviews and zeroed in on the Fender Rumble series. I didn't want to get OCD on all makes and models...I won't know the difference. However, I checked for used amps locally and came across a...

Please let me know what you have!

Please let me know what you got. I'm ready to buy asap. Thanks.

I love the Tele bridge pup, and love the Strat neck pup. Therefore, I've decided to build a Nashville Tele/Strat mashup. The pickup configuration will be Tele bridge and Strat middle and neck. For the neck and middle I'm thinking about the SSL1 and SSL2 respectively. I'm not sure about the...

I'm in the process of building a new HSH style Telecaster. The humbuckers are Suhr Thronbuckers, which will be wired up via Triple Shot rings. For controls, I'm going with Brent Mason's setup. As most know the unique feature of his controls is the independent middle pickup push-pull volume...

I'm new to doing my own electronic work. As such, I apologize for the noob questions. I have a 2 humbucker guitar with a single volume, tone, and a three way toggle. I want to add two on/on/on mini toggles to achieve series/parallel/split wiring for each humbucker. Using the diagram below, do...

Other than P-Rails, what traditional humbuckers work well with Triple Shots? I love all the switching options, but in reality don't have a good enough ear to hear the difference between coils and parallel options on the few YouTube videos I've watched. Are there any good humbuckers to consider...

I have a Warmoth VIP (PRS Copy) which I need to crank the bridge super high. Currently, it's higher than any other fixed bridge guitar I've ever had. This also forces me to raise the bridge pickup super high. The guitar plays OK, but I do have tuning stability issues. From what I can tell the...

There are tons of Ibanez/Seymour Duncan HH 5 way switching posts, but after reading through lots of them, most seem to be incomplete. Most posts address one aspect but ignore others and are usually abandoned. Rather than piece together a spider web of threads I thought I'd consolidate what I've...
