I just got this 59 neck pickup in a trade. I've never seen a Duncan baseplate with these notched out legs? Does anybody know the story on these? I've only ever seen the square tab legs on these vintage PAF style long legged base plates. The first thing I thought of was that maybe it was OEM on a...

I could have sworn at one time I read that Seymour personally wound and signed all the Seth Lover humbuckers himself. I was looking at a set on Reverb and the signature looked like a silk screen along with the Seth Lover signature. Out of curiosity I was googling it, but searching the phrase...

I'm selling some unused bridge pickups I have laying around. Seymour Duncan JB humbucker with unoriented alnico 5 magnet from AddictionFX, four conductor wire about 9" long $60 shipped Seymour Duncan Custom trembucker, about 12" long four conductor wire $60 shipped Seymour Duncan...

WTT Seymour Duncan TB-16 59 Custom Hybrid. I bought this for a guitar not realizing it was trembucker/f-spaced. I used a some solder wick to take the solder off holding the cover on then used a hairdryer to loosen it up and take it off. It still obviously wasn't going to fit so I put the cover...

Been thinking about trading my Orange TH30 for another head or a cool combo and got an off for a Marshall JCM2000 DSL100 head. Looking for some opinions on this trade. The guy with the Marshall said it's from 1998 and has already had the original board replaced with the revised one to fix the...

Recently rewired my Gibson Les Paul Tribute with 50s wiring and installed new pickups. This is the complete set of electronics from it. The pickup covers were removed, but reinstalled to sell. This includes the 490r and 490t pickups, the output jack, the Switchcraft 3 way pickup switch, and the...

I've got a Les Paul on the way with the 490r and 490t pickups. I'm going to get to know it a bit before I start modding anything, but I know I'm a tinkerer and I already know I didn't like the 490r in my SG, or the other guitars I've tried it in, so I figured I'd order some magnets to swap just...

I recently picked up a Blacktop Jaguar knowing well that I was going to swap the muddy blacktop humbuckers out. I had a 59/Custom hybrid I originally bought for another guitar (it ended up with a JB) and I had a Gibson 490r neck pickup laying around, so I put them both in along with new alpha...

So I went to put my new 500k pots in and the TB16 with the cover on it. The pickup wouldn't fit inside the pickguard with the cover. I debated filing the hole a little, but decided I'd just take the cover off the pickup and see if it would slide in. Well it did, but I've never seen a pickup like...

What's up everybody. I'm looking to replace the pickups in my tele, it's one of the Chris Shiflett deluxes with the two standard sized humbuckers (not the wide range sized pickups), alder body, maple neck with a rosewood fingerboard. Right now it's got the stock pickups and pots (250k all...

I found a decent deal on reverb for the Purple and Emerald at $47/each and jumped on it. That's the same as the Red/Blue/Silver/Golds I saw, so I grabbed them. I may experiment with a Red and a Silver since they were pretty abundant and cheap on there. Like you said, I could flip them and not...

I'm looking for some advice for anybody that has experience with Lace Sensors. I want to swap the stock single coils out of my Fender Player Mustang. I like the idea of the Lace Sensors due to the association with Smashing Pumpkins, even though I'm not trying to cop that exact tone, plus they'll...

I've been in the market for a big muff for a bit, but was having a hard time deciding on which one. I watched a bunch of comparison videos on youtube having only used the NYC Big Muff when I had one years ago. I liked the Green Russian and the Ram's Head (or Triangle? I mix those two up). I saw...

Moving along some pedals and pickups: Boss CH-1 Super Chorus, $55 shipped Good sounding pedal, Pink label on back so I believe it's the Taiwanese manufactured version. Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive, $30 shipped It's your standard SD-1. Sounds great pushing a dirty amp. Joyo Voodoo Octave fuzz...
