My PGn is at the same level of the pick-up ring, and I think it is just perfect

I loaded my number 1 guitar (a 2004 standard les paul) with a C8 and a 59/A4 in 2012. The C8 is still there, the 59 has been replaced by a PGn. The C8 is incredible, I can not imagine this guitar without it.

Pearly Gates neck in les paul Custom my all time favorite HB 59 set in SG All the others come and go

I like the duncan custom and how it works in a les paul. And since it takes mag swap very well, it is my favorite bridge pick-up. At the Moment both my les paul have it installed. One C8 and one custom custom to adeguate them to the woods. The second favorite pick-up in a les paul is the...

Distortion or 500T

Sure They work pretty well together. But they are not so frequent on a sg

I had an sg for a while. I bought it second hand at a ridicolous price. It came with a dp103 and a super distortion. I played it extensively then I decided to go with a different solution ( the dimarzios went into a les paul): an early 90s blues vintage set. Solid tone so far, covering a lot of...

I have the 85/15s version. They are supposed to be a copy more or less of the original american version. They came with a 2019 limited edition prs custom 24 se. I was not able to find out any spec on line or at least something to rely on. They are metered around 8 and close to 9 respectively...

I bought an ibanez mikro. Easy to play, sounds good enough, cheap. Just to record at home and having fun

I have never played a 7 strings guitar and I think it is time to buy one. It happens that two guys nearby home are selling theirs. An Ibanez rg7321 and a schecter damien 7 élite. Both are in good shape, the price is reasonable and I can’t decide on wihch one pulling the trigger. Generally...

Hi That's my Vgs eruption pro, bought brand new for less than 500 euro in July 2006. Mahogany body and neck, fingerboard in plastic similar to Gibson richlite (it seems ebony if you are not too close to it). It came with pgn/custom custom combo. But I wanted a guitar with active pickups so badly...

And finally my brand new guitar arrived. Well, in truth, it's used but in mint condition. I got an ibanez AZ224F in brown topaz burst. And I couldn't be more happy. Despite its indonesian origin, the overall quality is really high. The fretwork is good (at the same level of the MIM wolfgang)...

Last month, my guitar teacher lent me his ibanez az224f. I liked it so much that I decided to buy one. The guitar will arrive next week. Unfortunately all the guitar electronics that were lent to me have been replaced. So I couldn't try the hyperion (hss). Does anyone have experience with these...

My Guitar tech gave me two Russian-made pio capacitors k40y-9 022uF. I've never used any of those. My favorites are orange drop. I would like to know what differences there are between these capacitors and Orange drops, and if it is true that they are less reliable in terms of durability than...

Pleasant reading https://www.dimarzio.com/stories/birth-super-distortion The Super distortion is the only non seymour duncan pickup ever installed in one of my guitars. 50 years has passed since its release and it is argument of thousands of posts. In 2023 is there still place for such...
