    Pickup Tape Width, What Size?

    I'm thinking about removing the covers on my Pearly Gates humbucker set in my LP Standard. What width of pickup tape would I need to wrap around the coils?

    Replace SSL-5 with an SSL-1 or an SSL-5T?

    So, I got an awesome strat, but the stock pickups were a bit lifeless. I replaced the set with SSL-1 pickups in the middle and neck positions. Love them. I also replaced the bridge position with an SSL-5. I like the way it sounds, but I feel it's a bit too hot. I'm debating swapping the bridge...

    I need advice on a neck humbucker in an all mahogany guitar...

    I recently picked up a limited run of a Balaguer guitar. It's an offset body (Jazzmaster-esque) that's all mahogany with an ebony fret board and a Fender style hardtail bridge. Right now I have a set of Pearly Gates in the guitar. I love the way the bridge pickup sounds, but I'm not really...

    High output bridge humbucker with a Pearly Gates neck?

    So I have a custom Balaguer guitar that's all mahogany with an ebony fretboard. It came stock with their Evergreen pickups, but I found them to be too dark for my tastes. So I slapped in a set of Pearly Gates I had lying around and it really opened up the guitar. But now I'm wanting something...

    Guitar wiring question: 1 meg volume pot into a 500K master volume pot?

    I can't seem to find any info on this, but I'm wondering how this will effect the tone. I'm working on a 2010 Fender 72' Telecaster Deluxe RI with 2 Fender WRHB pickups. Right now, I'm running it with a 500k volume and 500k tone on the bridge (50's wiring) and a 1 meg volume pot on the neck...

    Would swapping out the Blacktop Filtertron pickups in my Gretsch be worth it?

    Would swapping out the Blacktop Filtertron pickups in my Gretsch for the High Sensitivity Filtertrons be worth it? The Blacktops are decent sounding, but don't seem as clear or raw sounding as the High Sensitivity Filtertrons Gretsch uses in the Pro series guitars. Is it just my imagination? I...

    Tele tone out of a humbucker size pickup. Does this exist?

    I've been missing my old Fender American Special telecaster and the tone I got with it would be perfect for the project I'm in right now. The twang, snarl, and punch, I miss it all! But sadly, I can't afford a new guitar nor do I want to sell any of my current guitars. I can, however, afford to...

    Pickup advice needed for a dual humbucker Tele

    I recently joined a new project and I'm needing something different from my dual humbucker Telecaster. I'm currently running a set of Pearly Gates pickups in this Tele. They sound great in this guitar, but they have too searing of a mid-range and a touch too much compression for the sound I need...
