Hi, I'm having an issue with my '95 Charvel San Dimas IV. The high E sounds muted and doesn't ring out very well when played open. I checked the nut height by placing a capo at the third fret and verifying the clearance between the strings and the first fret. I've got about .010 relief in the...

Hi, Does anyone know of any clips that compare a Stack Plus to their equivalent single... i.e. SSL-1 vs STK-S4, SSL-5 vs STK-S6, etc. I've found clips comparing them to modern Fender single coils and the stacks sound fuller with more bass and mids and less highs. But, in my experience, SSL-1s...

Hi, I was curious if anyone has any experience with this. If I buy a set of pickups, and like all but one of them, will SD exchange just the one via the 21-day exchange policy? Or would I have to exchange the whole set? Thanks!

Re: Charvel DK24 wiring problem. I found a DiMarzio wiring diagram that looks like it's what you are wanting. You'll have to convert the wire colors. Duncan Black - North Start White - North Finish Red - South Finish Green - South Start DiMarzio Red - North Start Black - North Finish White...

Hi, I came across this diagram today, and it appears to solve some of the compromises made in an HSS guitar. All the pickups appear to get the proper load... the single coils get run through (2) 500k volume pots (which I believe should be equal to a 250k pot) and the humbucker gets a 500k...

Hi, I'm seriously considering the purchase of a used guitar, that currently has a Duncan Invader installed in it. I've never liked this pickup, and was wondering if anyone has an F-spaced DiMarzio Tone Zone in black that they would consider trading for it? If I do purchase the guitar, the...

I decided to setup my main strat yesterday. I set it up to Fender recommended specs (9.5" radius) as a starting point: - .010" neck relief, measured between the low E string and the 8th fret with both 1st and 22nd frets pushed down - 4/64" action, measured at the 17th fret With this, the...

I've recently discovered that I prefer Ernie Ball strings, and have 6 sets of D'Addario's that I'm not going to use. They are the EXL110 set (leftover from the last ProPack I bought) and are sealed in the "corrosion protection" bags. Anyone have some EB's they aren't going to use (#2221 Regular...

I recently ordered a retube kit from Eurotubes, and installed it my Blues Jr. This includes a balanced 12AX7 tube for the phase inverter position, and I specified moderate headroom for the power tubes. I installed the tubes per their instructions, cleaning the sockets and all. When I powered up...

I'm curious about the Stack Plus pickups. They're supposed to sound the same (or very close) as their non-stack counterparts, but they have a much lower resonant peak. SSL-1 Resonant Peak 10KHz STK-S4 Resonant Peak 5.7KHz (neck/middle) /5.2KHz (bridge) SSL-5 Resonant Peak 6KHz STK-S6 Resonant...
