Hey guys, Looking for a regular gibson spaced 59 Bridge model Duncan must be 4 conductor wiring. Does not matter how long the leads are or if the base plate mounting holes are drilled for direct mounting. I need two functional 59B coils coming in around 8-8.5 K ohms, 4 conductor wiring for my...

Hey guys I am kind of intersted in the BBQ bridge. Does anyone know what the Kohm values are for the bridge pickups? I have never seen the values listed anywhere? I asked Lew and he did not know. Just curious!:27:

Guys, I bought and old Seymourizer II of e-bay to put in another guitar I am building. This pickup matches another I use that I love. When I got it resistance was very high like 250Kohms instead of around 12K. I removed the fabric tape and checked each coil. The slug reads 6.2K and the screw...

Guys, I bought this golden age HB to try out. That paperwork says the Screw coil is supposed to be the South orientation. But when I checked it with a magnet to verify it turns out that the south pole of my magnet end is attracted to it. And my north pole end is repelled. This would mean...

I did some forum searches already and nothing answered the question completely. I have an H-S-S setup with one golden age humbucker, one RWRP SSL-3, one regular SSL-3. I want to use the screw side of the humbucker which has South polarity and the slug coil has North polarity. This pickup has...

Let me kniw what you have. I have a Gibson spaced LOGO JB I will trade straight up. The JB is pretty new and has all of the leads and is all black. It is a four conductor. I would ike the SH-5 custom to be black as well. Thanks,

Hey guys, I am building a HSS strat. I will be using a JB at the bridge split with a 5 way switch, then an SSL-3 in the middle and SSL-3 in the neck. I see usually with all single coil setups the middle is reverse wound/ reverse polarity for noise reasons. Does duncan make a middle and neck...

Hey guys, Just thought I would post my Review of a JB, Reg spaced pickup I installed in my Alder superstrat, one piece maple neck, FLoyd. Let me preface this that I initially installed a C-5 in it and it was way too bright for my liking. I ended up swapping magnets to an A-2 making it a C/C...

Hey guys, I just got some A-2/ A-3 magnets from Ampage, Steve ID'd the Magents for me but did not mark which end was north. I do however have two previous magnets that North were marked on. If I remember my magnetism properties correctly, LIKE POLES REPEL? CORRECT? North would repel North...

Guys, I am wondering if there are other suppliers to get the A-2 and A-3 bar magnets. I got some form Steve at Ampage before but unless I misunderstood his announcent on his website is seems he is dismantling the association. Is he still selling part retail? I sent him an E-mail I did not...

Guys, I bought a JB to replace my C/C in my alder bodied Kramer strat with a Floyd. I like the sound of the C/C but I am looking to get into the raw Jake E. Lee tone. While the C/C comes close. I have read a ton of reviews saying that the JB will be Ice pick highs in the ears if used with a...

Hey guys, Has the JB bridge pickup always had an Alnico 5 magnet? I am just curious about the magnets in the late 70's to early 80's JB. Were the magnets in the early ones somewhat weaker giving less string pull like an A-2 giving a warmer tone. I remember installing a JB in the early 80's in...

I am going to replace the neck pickup in one of my hotrod strats that has a CC/ with an a-2 magnet. What would be a good neck pickup ro match sound and ouput wise so there isn't a noticeable volume dropout or increase when switchin between bridge to neck?

Hey guys I sent Stevo a PM about his JB with and A-2. I was wondering how the tone compared to the CC. I am very happy with my CC but the thought of the JB's ouput coupled with the A-2 warmness intrigued me,as it would be a hell of shredding pickup. The alder strat I put the CC in was too...

I read that you have made quite a few of these hybrid 59/custom pickups. Are there any aspects of taking the pickup apart that I should be extra careful of when taking them apart and reassembling the coils and removing the magnets and reinstalling them. I read that one must be extra carefull...
