Help me decide… I play classic rock/heavier rock and typically prefer pickups with A5 but also like A2 mags. I have a Custom 5 in one of my guitars that I like a lot and I’m looking for a bridge pickup in another guitar. I know the Custom models are the same with different magnets, but the...

recommend me a bridge humbucker! I’m in the process of creating something… 3 humbuckers, ash body, chopped Tele bridge. 3 volume, 1 master tone. Need recommendation for a bridge F spaced humbucker. Middle and neck pickups will either be middle: OX4 neck: OX4 OR middle: OX4 neck: Pearly Gates...

Need some wiring help - I've wired a guitar as follows: - SH-14 humbucker in bridge position - Single coil in the neck position - 3 way toggle switch - one volume - one push-pull tone tone to split the humbucker Everything works as it should except one thing: in the middle position, the...

Hey there, hoping those who have experiences with these pickups can help me make up my mind on the right combo. Looking for ballsy classic rock tones, easy pinch harmonics, a little nasty when I need it. Playing through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb RI, with Marshall Bluesbreaker I pedal for...

I'm looking to swap the pickups in my Les Paul Studio lite and I'd love some opinions. Here are some of the specs for this guitar: - Ebony fretboard - Typical Les Paul construction (maple cap on mahogany body, mahogany neck) - TonePros bridge/tailpiece - 496R & 500T pickups - acoustically, it's...

I hear people talk about them, yet they don't seem to actually own them - so I can only take this as second hand info. Any commentary appreciated.

Given all the variables that will affect a guitar's tone (woods, scale, nut, bridge, string gauge, caps, amp, etc.), I gotta say, I'm really pleased with how the Custom 5 sounds in my Charvel Surfcaster. I was concerned with the pickup being too icepick harsh in the bridge position, but it's...

Can anyone help me with a wiring diagram? I've looked and looked, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for: 1 Humbucker in Bridge position (4 conductor) 1 Single coil in Neck position 3 way toggle switch (N/both/Br) 1 Volume Pot 1 Tone Pot with Push-Pull for Coil cut of Humbucker It's for...

Anyone have any idea how I'd wire a 4-wire Lil '59 Humbucker into one of my DC-3's to do this: 1) Retain current 6 way switch settings: - Neck + Bridge - Neck - Neck + Middle - Middle - Middle + Bridge - Bridge 2) Use current Blower switch (2 way on/on) as a coil split switch for the...

I have 3 single coil pickups that are approx 3.4K in a guitar, and I replace one of them with a 7.6K pickup, logic would have it that the 7.6K pickup would be louder than the 3.4K pickups, right? I've done this in a 3 pickup Danelectro DC-3, replacing the stock bridge pickup with a Ken...
