I had the Fender 52 set before and really liked noise canceling when they were both used. Miss that with the Qtr Pound set. Has anyone tried the Fender 52 neck with Duncan bridge pickups? Wondering if the Fender would be rwrp to the SD

I have a mahogany pseudo-PRS with a bolt on mahogany neck and rosewood board, Wilkinson trem. I've had a JB trembucker and a Jazz Neck in it for years and the JB was very smooth, never shrill, and split REALLY well, but weak and kind of flabby on bass. looking for a more neutral tone (less...

Figure I'd post it here before ebay. From my 2007 American mahogany special strat. Very lightly played as I never warmed to the guitar with these pickups or the S1 switching. You can see some light pick rash on there in the last photo and there is a spot of rust on one polepiece (center pickup)...

Re: Bridge pickup for Vintage Hot Stack Plus in Mid & neck Alright then, an intense 3 hrs later, I'm done. Diagram & photos below. Getting to the meat of it, the Noiseless pickups are GREAT! Definately different than the singles I have in my old frankenstrat (Alnico II Pros). The Noiseless are...

I de-dinarziod my PRS tremonti se last night. Thought the paf pro would be better in bridge as I go after cleaner tones. First off I was really impressed with the 59n. Amazingly musical pickup, cant believe of all the SD puos I never tried one. So looking to match that tonality in the bridge...

I've spent a week trying to figure out how best to rewire my HSS Am Special strat (Diamondback & TexMexes which I find too middy in this mahogany body) with Duncans then finally decided to simplify and buy a SSS P/G and make this a strattier strat. I've listed to every sample I could find of the...

I'm looking at the 5-way diagrams for HSS wiring, intend to use the Fender 5-way superswitch and do the auto-split trick in pos 2 and tone1 for neck and middle (jumpered) and tone 2 for bridge. <diagram> But then I saw this and thought, well what if I had a separate tone for the middle pickup...

Fender offered a few years back, American series with the Diamondback humbucker and Tex-Mex pickups; Mahogany body, rosewood fretboard. For a strat, that mahogany and rosewood is gonna be warm anyway and I find the stock pickups middy and, though sweet, kind of lacking character and harmonics...

Got a superstrat that was icepicky with a FRED, would be the same with a demon. Using a CC which is sweet, but want to get a less PAF more modern sound. WOndering where to go for: - tighter cleaner bottom - some mids for good drive with distortion - highs not icepicky High output is NOT...

Well I want to go noise-redueced, pole-less and vintagey strat...opinions on which gets you closer, the rails or Sensors? Anyone use the Red-silver-blue set of Laces? Or are the Golds best for the vintage strat sound?

This comes with the wooden box, woohoo, and original A/C adaptor. $140 plus actual shipping http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170133034299

Hey folks, I have a Dimarzio PAF Pro I bought used, prev owner did not tell me he had forced wood screws through it...I hammered the tabs and now a regular pickup screw will hold it but it wont be as tough as a new one. Also I've lifted the skirts on it for a mag swap, A5 is back in there now...

Well I sold my very nice but rarely used Rickenbacker and I'll be buying strat, which I'll want for classic tones. The Deluxes come with the SCns, and I'm wondering if it is worth the extra cost. I like the idea of noiseless. I'm wondering if anyone out there has tries the Duncan classic stacks...

gone!
