    78’s are installed (logos removed)

    My 78’s arrived and they are finally in my guitar. I’m SO glad to have it sounding like itself again. In a previous post I asked how people were removing logos. What I ended up doing was using 2000 grit sandpaper (I screwed the adjustable screws in below the surface first.). I first tried it on...

    How are you deleting/erasing the logos?

    I have new pickups inbound, but I don’t want the SD logos. I know people have made them disappear using various methods i.e. acetone, naphtha, etc, or by abrasion i.e. steel wool which sounds like a terrible idea around magnetic pickups or super fine sandpaper or a Scotch Brite pad, etc, but...

    RTM neck pairing question

    I’m considering picking up an RTM, even if just temporarily and because I’m curious about it, and it will be at least a week from now before I get my Custom and Custom Custom from Duncan through their exchange program. with 19K DCR, I don’t know that I currently own any good matches for it for...

    Will anything dethrone the '78?

    First time poster here, but I've been hanging around awhile. I got a set of Custom Shop 78's wound by MJ about four years ago, and they were the third set up pickups that went in, in quick succession after building my Warmoth Soloist. I was immediately enamored by them, and I didn't even...
