Hi all, My 1985 MIJ Strat tuners need a change. Currently it's using replacement 70s F-tuners (no idea what tuners were originally used). So I purchased an actual replacement USA 70s F tuners from Fender. But the USA ones don't seem to fit due to the extra 'bulge' at the bottom unlike the...

I bought a second hand 85 MIJ strat with a maple fretboard many years ago. I had changed the original pickups with Hendrix Voodoo Strat neck pup (left handed), CS56 strat middle pup & a EJ strat bridge pickup. The elecronics were changed to a blender wiring type. I'll be straight to the point...

I'm thinking of trying out left hand Strat pickups in mine (right handed). Will there be a significant difference here since the pole height would be different? Thanks.

Hi all, Need suggestions for a vintage style Strat neck pup to go with a 56 CS Relic strat middle pup and an Eric Johnson Bridge pup. My Strat is an 80s Jap Fender, built the 50s style with a maple neck board. The sound I want is the 60s Strat sound which should be on the overwounded side...

I'm looking for pup replacements for my 80s MIJ Strat. Body is basswood ( I presume?), maple fretboard, bone nut, 50s style body etc. Neck and middle pups were replaced with MIM Std Strat middle and bridge pups, bridge pup is stock (thin and trebly). It plays well and is very reasonant, a great...

Hi guys, I've been looking at Strat pups lately and have been interested in these 2 pups. I was wondering how different these are tonally. One more thing on Fender Custom Shop pups, the ones that come along with the guitars ( i,e, NOS closet classic, relic, EJ), how different are these tonally...

I've been listening to these beautiful clips lately : http://www.eminence.com/eminence/media/soundclips/Wizard335Jazzblues.mp3 http://www.eminence.com/eminence/media/soundclips/Wizard335fastwalking.mp3 Doubt I will ever cop this tone or even close. Its a 60s 335 to a Fuchs 50 thru a Bob...

After almost 3 months of owning the Carvin, here's my mini review: It was stiff initially. I could tell by playing higher notes on the low e string, nevertheless it's more open and louder now. I would describe the overall tone as relatively scooped sounding (compared to the stock speaker in my...

Hello all, I've just had a Seth necker installed on my Ibanez Artcore 335 clone and like it so far. The bridge pup is still stock and contemplating a replacement. So a Seth bridge comes to mind? I like a pup that's able to handle ska, reggae 'cluck cluck' clean sounds and nice crunch ala Thin...

I'm looking for a bridge hbucker to go into an Artcore AS73 (335 copy). I'm hoping to nail :- a) Cream: I Feel Free, the part where Clapton switches to the bridge after the woman tone solo. Presumably that's a A2 bridge PAF sound? b) Your standard Billy Gibbons, Darkness, Guns n Roses, Led Zep...

Hi all, Just had a Seth neck installed on my AS73 (335 copy) to replace the stock neck bucker. Its brilliant. I've also readjusted the stock bridge's height to match the neck's output. Both neck and bridge switch positions are plenty loud. However, when I go in between, which I believe is the...
