Hello! I'm trying to order a set of single-sized humbuckers in ivory/light cream bobbins but couldn't find any bobbins this color, just the dark cream ones. So I bought the white ones and I've tryed to tan it a bit on the sun, but had no success on it. Any ideia/experience on aging ABS bobbins...

Hello there! I bought a Mick Thomson bridge humbucker for a guitar that I'm building and am looking for a low output neck pickup, because I mostly use the neck p.u. for clean tones and low drive things, but all the SD active seems to be high gain (even the single coil) So, I'm thinking in of...

Hello, I have a P90 and a 59 humbucker that I want to change the alnico 5 for alnico 6. My understanding of the A6 is that it has the warmth of A2, with power and definition on low strings more alike the A5. Is that correct? What change would I expect?

Hello! I bought these polished nickel covers that I want to look like raw nickel. Does anybody has an idea how to do it? Thanks

Hello guys! I'm building a LP and have already bought a PG neck pickup for it, but still undecided on the bridge pickup. AII sounds cool except for the low E string, then I found it munchy... I'm thinking in buy a used PG and install a alnico 4 magnet on it, has anyone tried it before? Do you...

Hello guys! I've searched this on the forum, but didn't find it... Does anybody knows how to make covers like these from Bare Knuckle??? Exchanging to brazilian currency, they cost almost as much as an airplane, so would like to put the covers on my SD. Thanks!

Hello guys!! I've remembered a old SH-8 Invader that was on my brother's guitar (he stop playing long ago) and I stole it to try some things on it... I remember I liked it but felt it was a little bit dark/muddy and was planning changing the screws for the normal ones, though could help on the...

Hello! I've been thinking in a custom built '51 P bass style and have had a hard time thinking on the pickups... When I finally "chose" the SCPB-2 Hot for SC P Bass, I saw that Fender is lauching a signature serie of Dusty Hill with a "custom designed Seymour Duncan pickup"... I've thought, if...

Hello people! I'm new here, so cheers everybody! :beerchug: I searched for a post like this and couldn't find, so I decide to make a new thread... I've my neck-thru LP being re-topped now with a more figured maple and will change also the pickups... My first thought was APH-2 Slash on bridge...
