So I have had this combo for years. I switched around the neck PRails so the blade is closest to the neck, it makes it a lot more "stratty" and is great for my PRS style guitar and also doesn't move the P90 position very much at all (perfect for a 24 fret guitar, but mine is 22 frets). But I now...

My main guitar is this '87 Kramer with Blackouts (below); 3 piece maple neck thru, ebony board and with what appeared to be ash wings I LOVE the tone of the Blackouts but have grown tired of the compression and lack of dynamics so I am looking for a passive pickup to replace them. I have...

Resolved: I apologize, turns out there is also a green wire buried in with the bare wire, I just needed to remove more sheathing >.> The "blue, gray, green" wire turned out to be what is the white wire on all the diagrams available. I Guess it aged and became discolored. Thank you to everyone...

I just rebuild/refinished this guitar and chose Blackouts: http://dejablueguitar.blogspot.com I got a humbucker blackout and a single coil blackout from the same supplier, a Duncan dealer, on ebay. The single coil is like an off white: Is this normal. Anything to remedy this?

I have a set of Blacouts and my guitar is an old Kramer with a panel jack so I had to buy a new stereo jack for it to work. Problem is I do not know te pinout? Does anyone know which is the tip, ring and sleeve? There is a tall fat pin on the outside and two pins on the inside, one tall one...

Re: Blackouts Questions Thanks! More questions! Does the included kit have a battery holder? for retrofitting into a guitar that does not have a battery route for a black box battery housing? I cannot use the included stereo jack, my guitar is routed for a panel jack: Will any stereo...

Going in this white Kramer: http://dejablueguitar.blogspot.com I have decided to make this my metal guitar. The neck pickup broke and the bridge is a JB. The bridge just is not tight enough. Slayer Seasons and 'tallica Puppetz, Justice and Magnetic are the tones I am going for. I would like to...

My guitar has a Humbucker bridge and single coil neck slots. I have Vol, Tone and 3 way switch. It has a panel jack like this: http://www.tubesandmore.com/products/W-SC-152B 1. Will this stereo panel jack work? 2. Will any stereo jack work? 3. Do Blackouts come with the tone capacitors? 4...

Have an old '87 Kramer with a JB, haven't played it forever. I have gotten used to the sound of my Carvin CT6 with a Custom Custom in the bridge. I pulled out the Kramer to get more high gain for some metallica riffage and it just seems to be flubby. It definitely doesn't have more output than...

I just wanted to pop in and speak of the virtues of the PRails pickups. I have a Carvin CT6 that I retrofitted with a Custom Custom in the bridge and a PRails in the neck. I was enamored with the posts about using different pickups, splitting them and getting mismatched windings and amazing tone...

I sold an 87 Kramer Stagemaster to my brother 7 years ago and just bought it back. Still amazing instrument. It has a JB in the bridge and I am pretty sure the neck has an SSL-1 Vintage Staggered (label reads 1R as per the label page, 1 is for SSL-1 and R is the name of who made it. It clearly...
