So, I was toying with the idea of squeezing a couple of single coil sized humbuckers into the space of a normal sized humbucker. I'd likely be doing this in a custom build, so possibly needing a slightly odd cavity and mounting wouldn't be an issue. With pups like the jb jr, lil '59 & lil demon...

I know that there are a few fans of the DD Detonator pup around here, so hopefully one of em will be able to answer this. I've read that despite the very visible pole-pieces and description on the main site, they are somewhat more like a Distortion than an Invader. Does this mean that they don't...

One of my guitars currently has a sustainer's guts hanging out of the back of it. The sustainer sort of works ok-ish, but my soldering is poor and it took lots of soldering. Plus it needs a battery box routed into the guitar body, and a load of the wires should really be trimmed to size and...

Firstly, this isn't an EVH tone chasing thread. I love Eddie, but it's not about that. I have a Peavy Wolfgang (amber flame top, gorgeous birdseye neck. yum) and having decided that the bridge pup was a bit thin, I thought I'd try swapping the pups out. After having the originals lying around...

I've got a set of 2 p-rails and associated triple shots that I'm intending to eventually go into a guitar I plan to build from scratch. As someone with very little woodworking experience and less spare time, I expect this project to take a while, so I thought I might try to give the pups a run...

I've recently scored myself a set of duncan designed HB102 pups to get a feel for the JB/Jazz pairing without forking over toooo much cash. The bridge pup has a rather short hookup cable and the guitar that I want to put it needs to connect it to a toggle switch in the typical les paul location...

Based on some of the pretty positive comments about Duncan Designed pups in this thread I decided to grab myself an HB102 set, which is the Duncan Designed version of the JB and Jazz combo, to try in a guitar that is lacking a bit of oomph in the bridge pup. Whilst I'm going to be hacking...

There's plenty of advice in these here forums about how to change magnets in humbuckers or p90s for different sounds, but there doesn't seem to be much about tweaking single coil pups. Does anyone have any decent advice for things that we can do to get a significant change out of em with a...

As we all know, different pups work better with some woods than others. I'm planning a custom build of a guitar using a pair of P-Rails (and a graphtech ghost system, but that doesn't matter here) with Padouk body and neck, a fairly thick maple top and ebony fingerboard. All of these woods are...
