HI all, I am considering putting an active set in a semi-hollow with no f-holes. I'm on the fence between the 57/66 and the Het Set. Has anyone tried the Het Set in a semi? Thanks, FTB p.s. Yes I'm serious, and no, I'm not an idiot :eyecrazy:

Hello all, Hope the world is treating you well. I was hoping to garner some advice. I have a couple DiMarzio pickups in the garage and wanted to throw them in a Strat. The bridge is a Super D (f-spaced) and the neck is a Super 2. Which middle pickup would you recommend to pair nicely with...

Hello all, Happy holidays, hope life is treating you well. I have a three pickup LP and I want to put a PG set in the bridge and neck, but I want a humbucker in the middle that is a little brighter and has a little more output so I can lower the pickup as low as possible so I don't hit with my...

Hello all, Just a curiosity, I was wondering what type of pickup was used in these? Specifically the one the good Reverend Billy G. was using back in the day. Thanks, FTB

Hello all, Just wondering if anyone has tried, or has an opinion on the PGn P-90 PGb setup on a strat? Mine is a USACG body, mahogany with a maple cap, swimming pool route. Would there be a better middle pickup choice? Going for a blues-rock sound. Also, how hot of a P-90 would be best...

Hello all, I decided to pickup one of the new Squier HH Mustangs to play around on. I have a pearly gates neck pickup laying around my garage and was wondering what would be a good pairing for that in the Mustang? I mostly play rock and blues through a Supro Black Magick with a 1x15 cab...

Hello, Quick question, if one pickup is standard and the other is RWRP, I know if they are in parallel they are hum cancelling, is the same true if they are in series? And as a follow-on question, how does the sound of two P90s in parallel compare to two in series? Thanks, Bill

Does anyone have a diagram for 2 Hum, 3 way toggle, 1 Vol (push/pull for master series parallel) The humbuckers are on triple shots, so only two wires. Thanks for your help, FTB

Hello all, I am wiring up two p-rails with triple shots with push/pulls and a three way toggle. My question is, how does one translate the SD diagram with a conventional LP toggle to a mini toggle with six lugs on the switch? Basically using this diagram...

Hello, Would it be feasible or desirable to use a 3 way 4 pole switch to switch on a tapped pup between north, south and both inline before the pickup selector switch? This way I could have each option on the normal selector switch. Thanks, Bill

Hello, I am planning on wiring up my tele soon and wanted to verify that the Hot Stack is wired up just like a normal humbucker, especially when it comes to being split. Thanks, Bill

Re: Feedback on idea please (Hot Stack and Pearly Gates) Here are the pictures of the body, not finished yet, needs some sanding and tung oil finish.

Hello all, Do you think a Hot Stack Lead (STK-T2B) in the bridge match well with a Pearly Gates (SH PG1) in the neck of a thinline tele with a walnut body? Looking for classic rock/blues/country sounds. Thanks!

Hello, I am putting together a walnut tell thinline with a humbucker in the neck and a single in the bridge. I was thinking of going with the SH3 Stag Mag in the neck and the STKT2 Hot Tele lead stack in the bridge. Any opinions or other recommendations? Thanks
