Ive been out of the game for a while. Getting back into modding pickups. I'm gonna be building a few hybrids but I need a good source of magnets. I know we all used to get them from AddicitonFX back in the day but It doesnt look like they have the best selection these days. Really looking for a...

What's up folks! Ive been an active member of the forum in the past but haven't been on in quite some time due to life happening, but I wanted to get back on and get some conversation going. Just wanted to share what pickup combos ive been playing around with for the last year or two. I am a...

Just picked up a USA Jackson soloist. Alder body, maple neck thru design, ebony fretboard and floyd rose trem. Its stock with Jb and 59. I may leave the 59 but the Jb is just ok. Honestly I think the Jb will find a home in a standard strat with an A2 mag to be honest. I wanna turn this thing...

So I experimented with the custom and the big ceramic a couple of years ago. I remember really liking it but I only used it for a short time and it was only in comparison to the regular ceramic custom. Ive been running a custom8 in the les paul for sometime. Ive always really liked that pickup...

Sorry if I'm a late bloomer on these. I havent been around for a while. I knew duncan came out with these sometime back but I wanted to get some feedback from you all here. Sentient is described as paf and modern with a combination of the 59 and jazz tones. Im intrigued because my favorite...

I may be acquiring a USA Jackson Soloist humbucker guitar. Im not sure if Im going to pull the trigger but I really like this guitar after playing it. Its got JB in the bridge and 59 in the neck. This is an OK combo for me. Actually the JB in the bridge is the best Ive heard for a Jb. in other...

Just saw they are offering this beast for 2014. Looks awesome. Finally, they are catering to the metal crowd. Custom 24 with Floyd rose trem, flame maple neck and ebony fretboard. They are also offering their new \m/ metal ceramic pickups with this. Maybe my next guitar purchase. Anyone dig...

curious to know more about these. Dont know how long they have been available but just saw they are putting them in the new Floyd custom 24, which looks awesome.

Ok. Its amp time. Im re-evaluating my position. When I had my studio, I had several stacks and could play as loud as I want. Since life has caught up with me, Im not doing much work in the studio so I am just going to focus on my playing. Sold off most of my gear. Ive got a couple of 5150 heads...

thinking about doing this mod. Will call the guy tomorrow to chat. just curious if anybody had done it or knows anybody who has. sounds like it would be close or better than getting the new limited stealth version of the 5150. And a lot cheaper

anybody want to chime in on these for a MIM strat project?

I want a 2x12 Mesa rectifier cab. let me know if you want to sell one. Thanks

preferably ivory but black would work. Let me know if you want to sell one. Thanks

Just got this installed in my les paul. Huge difference from stock wiring. Big open sound with this is the noticeable improvement. it sounds fuller. Not as compressed sounding but low end is more defined yet still very warm. Its almost like you can feel the notes and chords more when you play...

This may be stupid and way off base but A8 mags are to supplement folks who want something between A5 and ceramic. who want more gain, power and low end compared to ceramic but still want the alnico sag, feel, bloom ect and organic nature of alnico. I get it. A8 does that well. But I still love...
