Hi everyone, im interested in buying this pickup but can’t find anywhere on the SD website. I thought it was now available as a production item? I looked in the custom shop section and it’s not offered there either. how does the pickup differ from the SSL 5? Do they sound different?

So I’m going to help out a band mates daughter and install some electronics for them. It’s routed HSH and the guitar has an EVH vibe to it I’m going to recommend the 78 HB set but was wondering what single coil would pair nicely with it in the middle position?

In my Epi LP Custom - wow! So glad I did something different than the usual PAF thing. They are terrific I think they have a very nice clean tone and they have a nice crisp, articulate overdriven tone. You can hear the the individual strings when you strum a chord - nails the sounds of...

I just swapped out the RC A5’s for UO A5 and I’m really liking how the pickups sound now. I liked them before but my gosh they were bright. The UO A5’s seemed to take the edge off right where it was needed

I have a Pure Vintage 64 fender set currently loaded and I think the JD will sound better than the 64 Anyone have any experience with the JD bridge? Do you like it? Is it rounded or a bit harsh? planning on keeping the 64 neck loaded as its A5 magnets and I really like it. I’ll have to...

When split, is the STK 4 an SSL 1 / 2 in tone?
