    Not happy with Nazgul or Full Shred 7's...

    I just acquired a '19 Ibanez RG752M Desert Sun Yellow and it came with a single Duncan Nazgul 7 in it. But before I tried the Nazgul in it, I put a set of Full Shred 7's in it and I wasn't impressed with it. It has a bit more low end to it than I care for, especially since it's tuned down a...

    RG7620 owners with actives: 707 upgrades, suggestions??

    Hey guys! So I recently made a wicked score I couldn't say no to: a '99 Ibanez RG7620 for $575!! It has a set of EMG 707's in it which I like, but I'm feeling they could be better... I've used the 707's in Basswood bodied guitars for a while now and like the balanced tonality of the...

    Controlling midrange spike on DiMarzio Fast Track 2???

    I just installed a set of DiMarzio pickups - a Fast Track 2 & 2x SDS-1's - into an LTD ST-213 Strat. The issue I'm finding is that the Fast Track 2 has a good bit more of a midrange spike compared to the Hot Rails. It sounds kinda almost thin/tinny as a single coil, or like a Wah is on in the...

    2x SSL-3 or 2x STK-S2 with a Hot Rails bridge??????

    So I am having a tough time trying to decide which would be better to pair with the Hot Rails on the bridge of an LTD ST-213 - a pair of SSL-3's Hot Strat (with the middle RWRP...), or a pair of STK-S2's Hot Stack Strat... The guitar is an Alder body, bolt-on maple neck w/rosewood fingerboard...

    STK-S2's - modding cream covers to fit???

    Hey all! I am picking up my 4th ESP LTD ST-213, and am on the fence on which pickups I wanna put in it. I am leaning right now towards an SSL-5 RWRP middle & an SSL-3 neck (pairing those with a Hot Rails in the bridge...), as I can get cream covers for those to match the cream Hot Rails I found...

    Strat with independent pickup volumes issue

    I have an LTD ST-213 with a Hot Rails in the bridge and neck, Dragonfire Power Rail Strat RWRP middle SC. I have the 2 Hot Rails wired to a mini DPDT 2-way on/on toggle for outer coil splits, which is then wired to an Alpha B500K concentric pot for what's supposed to be independent volume...

    7-string pickup magnet swapping question

    Hey guys! I am curious about swapping magnets on a set of pickups and my main question pertains to the magnet size... I know that the magnets in the 7-string pickups are 2.625", while most others are 2.5". I've measured if a 2.5" magnet will still fit and cover the pole pieces and it will, but...

    Opposite of a treble bleed, but while at full volume??

    Hey guys. So after playing with a guitar with a set of DiMarzio D-Activator 7's in it, I am finding that full volume it tends to sound like a wah is cocked in the full down position, very tin-y. I am able to tame it with the tone pot by rolling it down almost half way, but I was wondering if...

    Any news regarding Dino Cazares' "Machete" pickup???

    Hey all, I know Dino a while ago announced this new signature active pickup - the "Machete" - when he unveiled his signature Ormsby guitars. But I'm curious if ANYONE has any news regarding it - mainly if they're available finally, and how they compare to his "Retribution" and all the other...
