I've been back and forth between these two neck pickups and have decided to give the APH-1 a try. A few random things though.. there don't appear to be markings on the APH-1, apologies if this is a dumb question but is there a reason for this? It sucks how they don't match and are often in...

I'll be trying both bridge pickups, and will likely use a jazz in the neck. I've read via searching threads on here that the jazz pairs well with both. I do like the sound of the jazz, I've never used it before but every time I hear it I think it sounds great. It's more single coil like, but...

Are there any recommended brands or models that work well for this? The only guitar switches I've used in the past are Dimarzio push pulls (which work well), or those cheap Chinese switches, the little red ones that can be used in stompbox mods. But 4PDT are quite large, are there any guitar...

I've been in and out of hospital in the last week (first time in my life), but things are starting to settle down now. I want to return to this project in the near future, if anyone can help it would be appreciated. I found this series vs parallel diagram below that could be a good alternative...

I'm looking at using the JB/Jazz combo and generally I like the classic sound of the JB. The only thing I sometimes notice is sometimes the high E disappears a bit in the mix, it can be sometimes be thin depending on the amp/rig being used. I like the overall character of the sound, even the...

I've done some basic electronics in the past, but the pickup wiring confuses me so much. Polarity, Phase and basic wiring for superswitches. Any help would be appreciated. I can solder pretty well, it's just understanding the schematic on paper and modifying it. Basic stuff is fine, but I've...

Does anyone have any experience with running full neck or bridge in parallel with a middle single coil, vs running a split bridge or neck with middle single coil and is there a big difference in output or is it a small difference? I'm trying to choose output for the middle single coil in terms...

Re: 5 way superswitch H-S-H advice Can't thank you enough Briguy1968. This diagram has turned out so well. :cool: The guitar will get be getting some stainless steel frets (I've had for it 18 years and there's not much fret left) and can't wait to try out some of those combos after the...

Do these pickups work well together? I currently have Dimarzio Norton bridge and Air Classic neck in an Ibanez RG, and have considered switching over to a SD alternate set that would accomplish similar things but with a Duncan flavour. In terms of versatility and moderate output with a vintage...

Does anybody have experience with both? A part of me wants to buy them all and try them all, but it might be easier to start off with the basics and go from there. As far as I know, the Custom 5 and Full Shred are the same pickup except that the FS has hex screws. I've never played a Full...

I want to run a Pegasus bridge but wondering which would pair better in the neck. I'm looking for more classic lower output tones in the neck, with an EQ that would be similar to the Pegasus.. so that switching between them wouldn't suddenly be too bright or too boomy etc. The Sentient is sold...

I'd like to run H-S-H guitar with 5 way superswitch.. and run it with a push pull for extra coil split option. I've had trouble finding diagrams that cover what I am looking for. And it can be a bit confusing with polarity and other options. I'd like to run - Position 1 - Full Bridge HB...

Does anyone know how to measure output with one of those meter things (noob here sorry) that also happens to own a stock RG? It's something I've never been able to find information on. I want to upgrade these pickups in the near future but it'd be nice to have a frame of reference for...

Been looking at the Charvels.. I was thinking about getting a (proper) strat.. now I'm thinking about getting a Charvel wild card with the HSS. It has no tone knob, I was thinking of getting one added with coil split for the JB. So I'd have classic stack plus in middle and neck, and a split...

Just to start off, I've been doing some reading here before joining and no this isn't a "please I want to sound like EVH" thing. I barely know his sound very well that's sort of the problem. Because I love the specs of his Wolfgang but I don't really know properly what I would be getting. I'm...
