Hi. I'm not actually planning on doing this... I'm just wondering: what would happen if you wired two pickups to one terminal of a single volume pot? Would both pickups be in parallel with each other, like the middle position on a Les Paul? Series with each other? Short out? Like this:

Hi. Does anyone know if it's possible to open the casing of the "new style" Hot Rails/JB Junior pickups for strat? If so, are they too wide to put those "no holes" EMG style strat covers over them? :fingersx: I just like the clean look of the Blackout singles/EMG singles, but I want to...

Hello. I noticed that some of the new Ibanez models have a 5 way switch wiring that I've never seen before. It's for guitars with 2 humbuckers. The 2nd position but puts the neck pickup parallel instead of the normal split thing. Here's one of the guitars...

Hi. I'm going to install an SH-6 in my guitar soon and I've been thinking of using an APH Alnico II Pro pickup for the neck position. I was thinking of putting a bridge model APH1 in the neck slot, for higher output. Do the bridge and neck versions have the same EQ and just different output...

After going through a DiMarzio phase, I'm back to Duncans. I'm thinking of doing an APHII/SH-6 combo in my guitar (mahogany BC Rich). I was wondering if an APHII will actually give me a solid Slash tone...or is his tone more about amps, rack equiptment and his fingers. Otherwise, I'll just go...

Hello all. I've been doing lots of guitar mods lately, like phase and series/parallel switches, 1 meg pots...nothing too crazy. But I'm new to actually altering the pickup itself. If I were to swap magnets between an SH-4 and an SH-6, is there any way to know what kind of tone I'd get or...

Hi. I'm building my first project guitar and I'm not sure about the wiring for hum-cancelling strat picups. On the schematics page of the Duncan site the Hum-Cancelling strat pickups are shown with only 2 wires...but on the Tone Chart it says they have 4 (I haven't yet bought the pickups to...

:wave: Hi everyone. I was thinking of getting a JB humbucker for my guitar. The old tone chart used to show the JB as having slightly scooped mids, something like Bass 6, Mids 5, Treble 8. Now, the new tone chart shows it as Bass 5, Mids 6, Treble 8...more mids than bass. Does anyone know...

Hi, I'm not a regular on this forum, but I figured it would be the place to ask...Are there any brand new Duncan pickups from this summer's NAMM show?

I assumed the Distortion trembucker was the TB-6, a wider version of the SH-6. But Then I saw that there is also the Parellel Axis Distortion. The specs seem to be the same, do they sound they same?

I know I want the APH in neck, but I'm not sure what to put in brige. I was thinking of having the APH in both neck and bridge...but since I'm only going on reviews and online sound clips, I'm not sure how happy I'll be with the APH so getting TWO of them seems extra risky. I have a JB set in...

I would like to put an APH Alnico II in the neck position of my guitar. I noticed that this pickup does not say "Seymour Duncan" like most of the other humbuckers. You have to understand that I am without a doubt a little obsessive compulsive...cause having a logo on the bridge pickup and not...

Hey guys, I'm not a regular on these boards...please go easy on the NOOB stuff. Anyway, I'm after Slash's solo tone and the Slash Signature Les Paul has the APH in both neck and bridge. I was wondering, does anyone know if he uses his neck or bridge pickup for solos? I don't want it in both...

EMG pickups have a "Quick Connect." That means there is a connection on the lead, which snaps together. So if you change from one EMG to another, you just unsnap one and snap in a new pickup...no wires to mess with. If Duncan and DiMarzio started doing this to their pickups that would be...
