    Do you need to remove pickup covers to swap magnets? Process?

    Hey all- Have a sick Edwards LP. Sounds a little wooly with the JB/59 combo. I'd like to just swap ceramics into these and call it a distortion set of some kind. Can this be done 1 without removing the pickup covers? If not, how do you properly do that? What magnets would you get for this...

    'High Gain'/Metal oriented Hybrids- My own project + Who else has dabbled?

    Hey all- Recently had someone make a cool set of hybrids that I'm very happy with out of a Nazgul and Omega. I like the fuller, more complex tone you get from a hybrid and I'm happy with the result. They both have an interesting sound, the one with the Omega slug coil is the winner of the two...

    Alt 8 for extreme metal with clarity and punch?

    I've been intrigued by a lot I've heard about this pickup, touting 'balance, clarity, punch' etc. Been described as a tighter, clearer JB type of feel. Anyone used this for a metal application? Looking for percussive feel without losing definition. I usually don't like super high output, my...

    Med/High output pickup with relaxed low mids, chord clarity and some grit- Reccs?

    Hey all- I have a baritone Agile LP style guitar. It currently has the Custom Hybrid in it, which is a good sounding setup. However, there are a couple reasons I may want to change. The guitar is quite warm sounding, Big mahogany body (maple neck) and the pickup is mounted further from the...

    Low output >> Ceramic Swap, into Boost circuit- Intriguing concept? Which pickups?

    Low output >> Ceramic Swap, into Boost circuit- Intriguing concept? Which pickups? Hey all- I've recently been exploring the concept of boosted passives- Logically it would make sense that taking the clear, nuanced output of a low output pickup and then boosting it would result in a much more...

    Help me build a custom Hybrid bridge humbucker?

    Hey all- Really wanting to try out the custom shop. I appreciate all of your knowledge on this. What I want from it- Strong, almost P90-like Split Slug coil with clarity. Fat/punchy and cutting at the same time for lively percussive rhythm playing, something bold enough by itself to not...

    Alternative Splitting combos- Anyone messed around with them a bit?

    Hey all- I have a guitar I am wanting to wire with a coil split option. I know that when you do a split tone you generally have a 'split inners' or 'split outers' option. Has anyone ever done both coils the further one from the bridge? Like on the neck the outermost coil would be active, and...

    Looking for recommendations-Strong split tones and good metal rhythm? Jack of all

    iI recently got a couple new Edwards guitars I am loving. I am looking to do some Pup swaps. In the first one, a Trans black Forest, I want it to be a jack of all trades. Its Northern ash with a 9 piece neck through construction. My primary goal is to get strong split tones. I am really...

    SH 16 Splitting- which coil is which?

    Hey- Just got an SH 16, excited to put it in. I'm going to be wiring it to split, but need to select the proper coil- I know they're mistmatched- which would be the more desirable one to choose? I really like the split tones from the second position of ibanez wiring, the split inner- would...

    Dimebucker mag swap

    Hey all- I've always had a love/hate relationship with the dimebucker. It's this sizzly trebly bright scooped sound that instantly sounds like Pantera. Which to me is not a good start Haha. At the same time though, it has undeniably huge aggressive chug and great grind. Has anyone ever...

    Very bright LP style guitar. Bridge pickup Reccs?

    Been troubleshooting damn near everything with this guitar. Thought there was a phase issue or something. Though it is mahog body with maple neck, This guitar has asstons of high mid, just from the wood itself. I put the body against my ear and knocked on the other side of the body with my...
