well my bud was in the guitar center and called me to ask what pickups to put in his oscar schmidt which is a (I believe) a cheapo gibson 335 copy. well I said the jb/jazz because frankly I don't know that much....course he could return them for something else. music type is blues to hard rock...

this is not a complaint it is just something I am curious about. I had the tech split my pg set that I had put on a les paulish guitar (malden karma les paul body but thinner). anyway I like the bridge split. the thing that surprises me is that the output at least to my ears is louder then my...

Hi I have a pearly gates set in one of my guitars and love them. was thinking of having them split to get sigle coil sound and make that my main axe. My question is...if split is the pg "hot" enough to sound decent as a single coil. I don't really understand the below info taken off this site...

Hi SD friends...I have had SD black upcovered pearly gates pickups in one of my guitars (lefty malden karma) for a few months now and really enjoy the sound...I had not jammed out with decent volume till the other night...so we are cranked up and rocking and I am (like I usually am) using the...

Almost 2 weeks ago I ordered (through my local sam ash in queens ny) a set of pearly gates for them to setup in my malden karma. as of friday they didn't have them, just wondering (cause I don't want to call sam ash every day) how long after ordering the pickups should arrive? I mean aprox.....

Ok I am sure this is not the case...I have a JB in my agile 3500 bridge and am getting a pearly gates bridge (and neck) in my malden karma...the jb says 16.4 and the pearly gates says 8.3. What does this mean in terms of output in the real world? that two guitars through the same amp different...

yea I know it is the competition but what better people to ask then the seymour gang...I am getting a squier protone and am considering upgrading the pickups and am thinking seymour or as I am kinda poor at the moment (due to the pearly gates I am having installed in another guitar) something...

cause I just ordered a bridge and neck. lets rock.

Hi all, I have the jb/jazz in my aglile 3500 and love it. I brought a guitar into my local setup guy at sam ash to do a bunch of stuff including setup of new pickups...thing is they were all out of duncan humbuckers...arggg. I don't really want anything else but don't want to wait to get this...

Me (electric Agile 3500 w jb/jazz and 2 buddies (we need bass) with 3 songs we just did. Kind of sloppy but for our first recording all in 1 take we had fun. Thanks.

Ok its been awaiting setup for a week and if I am gonna get some pickups for it it has to be tomorrow...I want pickups that are great for hard rock and blues but do not lose whatever makes a tele pickup a tele pickup (in other words no humbuckers or pickups so hot they take away from the twang...

What should I do? I just bought new guitar (2006 MIM tele lefty) and bought strap lock system. Now one of the strap holder when onto the guitar no problems. the other (the one nearer to the neck) just wobbles around and I can't get it tight. the screw is the same size as the screw that was...

Ok so I am going to pick up a 2006 MIM tele. Since I know nothing of the Tele (never played one never saw a lefty...) I obviously know nada bout the pickups. so instead of me asking the open ended question which SD's to put in this babe I will get sneaky and pretend I am taking a poll. Which...

Sam ash has them in lefty. Gonna play one tomorrow. But I will have nothing to compare it too. Several questions. Has anybody played the 2006 standards? the fender site says jumbo frets and hotter pickups. Is there really that much difference in quality, playability and sound than with say...
