I want to put a JB in my EVH guitar but it doesn't fit into the cavity. Does SD make the JB with a different metal plate (don't know what to call it) so it fits in the EVH pickup cavity? I've seen them in some guitars (Charvel) but I never see them available on the open market.

I just got an EVH Wolfgang (not the Peavey but the new Fender EVH) and noticed it was a little darker than I expected. I looked at the volume and tone pots and noticed the tone pot was 250k. Does this effect the tone? I have read a lot about volume difference but didn't really see or...

I replaced one of the pick-ups on my EBMM Axis and I found that the poles do not match up correctly. While this doesn't appear to affect the sound I was wondering if the F-space pick-ups would work better? While I like the original pick-ups in the MusicMan Axis I find that they don't cut in the...

When I play a gig I use my gibby Les Paul with a JB in the bridge and it sounds wonderfull. Occasionally I will switch to my MusicMan Axis to handle those 80's tunes that required a floyd rose. The problem I have is the output of the custom wound pups in the Axis are not as hot so I lose some...

Has anyone ever tried to put a SD pup in an Axis before? I want to try a JB in the axis but the routing on the Axis is designed for the Dimarzios. If anyone has any suggestions or knowledge if SD would fit a JB for me would be awesome.

If I'm upgrading my Strat from the standard pickup to a JBjr should I also upgrade the pot from a 250K to a 500K?

I have a Gibson Explorer and while the Duncan Distortion sounds great when I play a lead the rhythm is just muddy. I was thinking about going to a JB but I thought I ask you guys first. Would a JB brighten up my sound and clean it up like I what it. I have always used SH-6's (Duncan...

How do I wire my bridge PUP to be the only pup and still take advantage of the toggle switchs ability. I don't use any tone pot's only the volume pot. I've been so disatisfied with my neck pick-up that I cut the wires and laid it to rest (RIP). What I want to do it use the bridge with only one...

I'm looking for help in deciding which pup to put in my guitar. Currently, I have a Washburn PS2000B which is like a Gibson explorer. It has a mahogany body with a maple top. The DD in the next position and the 59 in the neck position sound awesome. I get great chug and awesome lead tones. Not...

I recently purchased a new 59N and SH6 (Duncan Distortion) from AMS. I was surprised to find that the 59N did not have the Seymour Duncan name on the pickup like the SH6. Is this normal? I was hoping that it was a standard practice to have the Seymour Duncan on all their pickups. Can anyone...
