    Tone control for bridge and middle pickups: Will this work?

    I have a Squier Strat, and I'm thinking of using a small wire to jumper the prongs for the middle and bridge tone connections of my 5 way selector switch. How many of you have tried this? Does the tone control work equally well for the bridge and the middle pickups? How about the in-between...

    Series/Parallel switching with a push/pull pot: Is this possible?

    I would love to be able to switch between series and parallel wiring with my Cool Rails pickup. The wiring schematics that came with my pickup show a Series/Parallel wiring using a DPDT switch. Would it be possible to get Series/Parallel wiring using a push/pull tone or volume pot? I really...

    Will the output of a coil split Cool Rails pickup be too low?

    I'm curious if this is even worth trying. My concern is that the resulting coil split mode will have too low of an output to be usable.

    Mixing Duncans and Dimarzios - In Phase or Out of Phase?

    My Jackson guitar has a Dimarzio Tone Zone in the bridge, and I'm thinking about putting Duncan Cool Rails in the neck and middle positions. Will I have to flip the connections of the ground wire and the hot wire of the middle position Duncan pickup to match the phase of the Dimarzio bridge...

    I love my Tremsetter! Does anybody else use one?

    I've had my Jackson Dinky XL since 1994, but I just recently installed a Tremsetter on my JT-580LP tremelo. It is by far the best mod I've ever done! I can now bend notes without the other strings going flat. I am also able to do a drop D tuning with the fine tuner on the low E string since...

    Does flipping the hot and ground connections affect the tone of a pickup?

    I have a Steinberger Spirit guitar which originally came with EMG Select pickups in a H-S-H configuration. I love the guitar, but the stock pickups leave much to be desired. I just installed an Alnico II Pro pickup in the neck position. The neck pickup by itself sounds incredible, but when...

    Jazz (neck) & Alnico 2 Pro (bridge) - does anybody use this combo?

    I'm looking for a bridge pickup with a smooth, clean lead tone (a la Slash of Guns & Roses). I'm also looking for a neck pickup suitiable for clean to slightly overdriven blues tones. These pickups seem to fit the bill. Does anybody use this pickup combination? Are they going to be...

    Single coil pickups for non-Strat guitars?

    I am thinking about replacing the single coil pickups in my Jackson Dinky XL. The pickup holes are rectangular, not the Strat style triangle shape. It seems that all single coil replacment pickups these days are all triangle shaped. Are there any single coil models that will fit a rectangular...
