    First Custom Shop Pickups!

    I purchased a new set of SD Custom Shop pickups on eBay from somebody that changed their mind in between placing the order and receiving the pickups. They stated that the changed their mind on the bridge type and needed regular spacing instead of trem-spaced. Regardless the pickups appear to...

    Blackstar HT-5 Mini Stack

    Blackstar HT-5 original. Very lightly used, looks new (except for some dust, I will wipe it down). I Bought this new in 2011. This amp has only been in my small studio in my house since it was purchased. Works great. Comes with Footswich, a 1x10 and a 1x12 matching cabs. Cabs are the same...

    First mag swap

    Just wanted to let you know about my magnet swapping experience. This was my first attempt. I have always known it would be easy, but just kind of felt the manufacture made the pickup this way for a reason so why mess with it. I am still not sure I will mess with my newer pickups, but since I...

    Dimarzio's scare me, but

    I bought a Norton. I love most offerings from SD. In fact, I recently started buying a few Ibanez guitars and tried the EVO in one, but immediately changed to a Custom Custom. I like the EVO OK, but I love the CC. I always like SD pickups. I have a C5,CC AII, Slash, JB, Jazz, Pearly...

    Middle Pickup for HSH Saber

    I have an Ibanez S570 that I just recently installed a Custom Custom in the bridge. It is perfect for what I wanted. I had a Steve Vai set (Evo's) and still have the middle and neck installed. I have never really like the middle pickup so I would like to replace it, (the neck will probably be...

    Custom Custom in Ibanez S570, Wow!

    I have been wanting to try the Custom Custom in one of my guitars for a while now and finally decided to get one for my Ibanez Saber. My Saber is a very slim mahogany guitar with a Maple neck and a massive cut out for the Edge Zero Locking tremolo. I love the guitar. I play mostly LP's but...

    Pearly Gates single coil sized from the custom shop.

    Anyone have any experience with these? I considering getting one of these for an SSS Ash Strat with TBX tone control, but I do not really want to change the controls out. How close are they to a regular PG? Will the work with a 250k pot? How well do they spilt for the 4 position?

    Can CS make any DC pickup in SC size?

    Just interested. I like the single coil look in my Strat but would love to try a Custom Custom in it. I might end up getting a HSS pickagard for some testing but, can it be done? Is there a big difference in sound?

    Liberator installed

    I just finished installing a liberator inmy Ibanez Saber. It was a tight given that everthing (two pots, 5-way, and jack) isl located in the small cavity. It took me a while to figure a few things out. But after installing it I was able to install my old pickup, then swap two others, and test...

    Pickups for an Ibanez

    Guitar is very thin, Mahogany with a Maple neck and fretboard, HSH, locking tremolo, 25.5. I want great single note definition, excellent harmonics, and great sustain (don't we all). The bridge is the most important for me and it must have excellent harmonics and good note defination and...

    Pickup For an Ibanez S570MQM

    Guitar is Mahogany with a Maple neck and fretboard. The stock INF2 bridge sounds pretty good in this guitar, not too dark and pretty tight bass. The general sound and tightness on the bass is actually what I want but a little more definition, better harmonics, and better sustain. Maybe a...
