Hi. Been trying to track down mounting plates for my antiquity mini HBs. Do Seymour Duncan supply them? I’ve seen Stew Mac do but don’t know if they would fit when it comes to the screw hole size? any help gratefully received. Really wanna get these things in the guitar!

Recently fitted a Little 59 in my Esquire, I thought I would make it more versatile by adding a push/push on the tone and wiring it series/parallel. This has worked well in so much as I like the 2 different tones a lot. The problem I have now is that the parallel setting is bright and the...

anyone tried a Seth Lover neck in the bridge position of a Les Paul? I recently bought a Gibson LP Studio faded and love the guitar but cannot get away with the BB pro in the bridge- despite an excellent set up and alot of adjustments i find it thin,harsh and lacking in warmth for my...

I am waiting on delivery of a Dimarzio 36th anniversary dp103 neck paf and i,m thinking of pairing it with a Seth Lover bridge i have spare. It seems on paper it could be a great combo but i was wondering what results i would get from swapping the mag in the Seth for an A5 to match the mag in...

I have Seth Lovers in a Les Paul and I would like to tighten up the bottom end on the neck pickup- i find it can be a bit muddy and wooly sounding. I have bought a selection of rough cast Alnico magnets, which would you recommend to make the bass notes more distinct?

is a pick up labelled JBJ on the back the same as a JB ? is it an older version of a JB?

does seymour duncan (or anyone else) make a p90 sized humbucker? i know the other way round is popular and i have several -phat cats included, but i would like to drop a hb into the bridge position of a scratchplate cut for p90s leaving the original p90 at the neck. any ideas? alternatively...

recently received a batch of alnicos to start mag swapping but they don,t appear to be magnetized. how would i go about doing this?

i,m thinking of dropping 2 phat cats into an unused strat. can anyone direct me to, or post, a wiring diagram for this set up? it would just be the 2 PCs with a 3 way switch and without a middle position pup. i,m thinking 500k pots.

just need help identifying a tele bridge pickup. i think its a stl-3 quarter pound but the only clue i have are the oversized pole pieces. is this the only SD tele pup with large pole pieces or could there be any other candidates? if it is an stl-3 what can i expect from it-pretty hot i imagine...

i know as a rule of thumb 500ks tend to be used with HBs and 250ks with SCs but what; as p90s; would you recommend with phat cats. i,m currently using 500ks vol and tone with a phat cat in the bridge of a les paul and it sounds great but i was wondering what difference to the sound 250ks would...

i,ve put a phat cat in the bridge of my 80s Burny Supergrade and i love the sound i,m getting from it. theres a bucker in the neck but its pretty weak-i like the combination of p90 in bridge and hb in neck and i have the offer of a seth lover to maybe drop in there. anyone got any...

i,m thinking about installing a Phat Cat in the neck position of my Burny Supergrade. its a beautiful,80s, MIJ guitar and i love the bridge pup but i find the neck too dark . anyone had good results from a similar swap or anyone selling a Phat Cat neck pup? thanks dave

i am thinking about installing a roller bridge and roller nut to a LP style guitar(music drive revelation) . does anyone have an opinion on whether this will improve tuning stability or not and also what mods will i need to do to the neck to fit the nut? cheers dave s
