I hate to post this. This pickup does not seem to be widely used so maybe I should keep it to myslef. :laugh2: But, this is a great pickup. Lows are nice and percussive and cut through while being low, and the mids are cool and spongey and the highs cut and still have some of the good Duncan...

Is there a pickup like this? TONE Wanted : blend of Duncan Distortion ("DD") and Dimarzio Super Distortion ("SD"). The Duncan Distortion is great and articulate for rhythm and cuts through well with the upper midrange and highs. But it is too revealing of mistakes on leads and not fluid...

I like the upper mids, treble and bite of the DD but the low mids and fluidity of the SD. any way to get the best of both in one pickup?

So where can I get a Duncan Distortion magnet to put in my JB to make it a DD?

I have a bright guitar and put in it a Dimarzio VHPAF w/a swapped magnet, taking the A5 mag out and putting in a dun aged Duncan A2 mag from an antiquity bridge HB. Left it "aired" The overall feel is a nice and soft A2 feel, but overall the treble strings are too bright and ice-picky. I...

Crazy Idea: I have a Dimarzio Steve's Special high output pup with a ceramic magnet. I also have a Duncan APH Alnico Pro II pickup with the Alnico 2 magnet. What if I swap the magnets, what will each pickup sound like?

The high E-string is too quiet on my bridge EMG 85 pickup. The B string right next to it is much louder. What is the fix? Tilt the pickup higher on the high e-side?

I have a poplar bodied guitar that is very bright with the Dimarzio virtual hot paf in the bridge. Wouold the Tone Zone be good to take the edge off the highs? Any other ideas?

I have a Strat with 70's style die cast chrome saddles that has too much low midrange and not enough high and low end. Would things improve if I switched to bent steel saddles? What is the tonal difference between the stamped steel saddles and the die cast chrome saddles on Strats?

Can this be done Quarter pounder in white or cream?

Anyone have any info on the SSL52-1 Five-Two regular for neck and custom bridge?

I have a set neck ash strat. It sounded harsh with the stock Lace Sensor Golds. I put in an Antiquity Texas Custom Bridge and a Texas hot neck. Now it sounds smoother and good, but too mid-rangey without enough highs. I like the Antiquity II's I have in another Strat (Korina chambered...

I installed Seths in my Ibanez PS-10. The guitar is very bright because of the gibraltar two locking bridge and metal sustain block installed in a rout under the bridge. I thought the Seths might help because the guitar was a little dark with the Ibanez v2 pickups. The V2 bridge is 16.4k...

What is the value of the resistor on the five way lever switches on the HSS wiring diagram? What is its purpose there? http://www.seymourduncan.com/website/support/schematics/hum_sing_sing_1vol_1tone_5w.htm
