    How can I tweak a Duncan Distortion to be tighter?

    Yeah, I know, it is a tight pickup as it is... But my guitar has way too much bass, and I'm trying to hit the preamp with a "tighter" signal, and then go and add bass after the gain stages. The DD attack is punchy, so my problem is not sag. So...what all can be done to a Duncan Distortion...

    About to throw a different magnet (A4 or A8) into my Distortion

    So, I have this Ibanez RT650. I've been pretty happy with the Dimarzios I have in there (Breed and Air Norton). However, that was in standard tuning. Now that I am using this guitar for standard C, the Breed is just too much. I put a .001 cap across the volume pot, and it helps out a lot with...

    What can I expect from an open top cover?

    I see these in Gibson P94's and other unusual pickups. I wonder what they actually do to the magnetic field once installed, and how that translates into the tone?. Anybody have any experiences?.

    Help me pick a scheme for this Stratocaster

    So what do you guys think?. I have an Anderson H2+ lying around, and that pickup has the perfect split coil tone, on top of its smooth series tone. But I started thinking that it would look boring in an all black HSS scheme. So I thought about the one humbucker scheme. It looks pretty sweet...

    Help picking a Dimarzio.

    Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am trying to pick a bridge humbucker for my H-S-H super strat. 2 piece Alder body, 1 piece maple neck with rosewood fretboard, 24 frets, top routed with pickguard, vintage style non-locking tremolo, 500K volume and tone pots, 5-way switching, master...

    What did I do wrong?.

    It's a bridge JB trembucker, a middle Quarter Pound RWRP Tapped, and a Stag Mag at the neck. The tone pot is a No Load. Both pots are 250K. When I take the tone pot out of the circuit, the load is equal to that of a pair of 500K pots. Anyway, when I pull the DPDT, it splits the humbuckers and...

    Schematic for H-H-H, 5 way blade, push/pull coil tap?

    Guys, I looked....everywhere. My guitar has the H-S-H configuration with a 5 way switch, one tone and one volume. I found the diagram for the 3 humbuckers, 1 tone, 1 volume, with coil split on positions 2 and 4. That's great. http://guitarelectronics.zoovy.com/product/WDUHHH5L1101 Also, the...
