I need some advice about buying pickups for my Squier HH Jazzmaster. I've had this guitar for six months now and I really like it, but as you can imagine the pickups are not that great. The guitar seems pretty middy from itself, so I could use pickups that are slightly mid scooped so the overall...

...and if so, could you please point me in the right direction of coming up with a schematic/diagram for it? I've wired a few Gibson style guitars over the years, but this is my first Strat so I'm not really familiar with the electronics and could use some help. What I want to achieve, if...

I bought a used Schecter C1 locally, just to see if the guitar type would work for me. I thought I would replace the Blackouts with passive pickups quickly, based on my experience with EMG pickups in a previously owned LTD Eclipse. It turns out though, after playing through the bridge pickup and...

I need a new bridge pickup for my LTD EC500. It is shaped like a Les Paul, but with a thinner mahogany body and has a 24 fret rosewood fretboard. It needs to be a backup guitar to my '79 Yamaha SG2000 for when my band is going to play its first couple of shows in a few months. The problem is...

Hi guys! I found lots of options for fitting an ABR-1 bridge on Nashville posts, but I actually want to go the other way around on my Gibson SG. The original bridge with the annoying wire doesn't have enough range to intonate properly when downtuning to C. Also, it feels really weak. I bought...

I like the Rio Grande BBQ in the bridge position of my SG. I like the overall voicing (fat/dark) and the gain of that pickup in that position. It works really well for my bands style (stoner/heavy rock). But sometimes I wish it could be a little less compressed sounding when I am at home and...

Hi! I am interested in swapping magnets in my dual P90 Gibson SG Classic. Especially the bridge pickup could use some extra beef and some taming of the highs. I found out that standard Gibson P90's have two A5 magnets, which, according to most people, can be really bright indeed. After some...

The title says it all! I am looking for a new pickup for my SG Classic. I find the bridge sound a little shrill and am looking for a fat sounding pickup with relatively high power for P90. I am not looking for the 'true vintage' P90 sound, so I don't mind if it sounds more modern. I just want...

I am currently looking to change the pickups in my Gibson SG to something less shrill. I am pretty sure I want the Seymour Duncan 59 in the neck. Now for the bridge pickup I want a somewhat hotter version of the 59 and these two pickups caught my eye: 1) SD SH-11 Custom Custom 2) SD SH-14...
