Hey folks, so I have guitar with a Pegasus and Sentient, and I wanted to rewire it. Turns out, the SD wiring diagrams don't have a key to tell you what switch positions do what, in particular with 5-way super switches...

Gents, saw a discussion about getting SD pickups to do inner and outer coil combinations a few days ago. With a stock Peg and Sentient, what would you have to modify to make the pickups be in phase and hum cancelling on inner and outer coils settings? also, if you do make that modification...

Re: treble bleed and Suhr HSS switching: opinions This is a pretty good representation of the Suhr HSS switching: The idea is, it uses caps and resistors to make single coils and humbuckers "see" pots appropriate to the type of pickups; humbuckers "see" 500k and single coils "see" 250k...

Gents, looking at both of these mods for upcoming guitar renovations. My question: I've heard that both of these mods have a tendency to make pickups sound more harsh or brittle. What are your thoughts?

Folks, This is a cross-post from a question that I posted to the Seymour Duncan facebook page, but I figure it might get better visibility from the knowledgeable folks if I post it here. I have an AH-1 custom shop humbucker that I was looking to install on a maple-topped, alder bodied strat...

Gents, I have been finding SD's new wiring schematic front-end hard to navigate, and I can't find what I was looking for, so maybe you good folks can help me out. I'm putting in a H/H setup with a JB and Jazz, two 500k vol and one 500k tone, and I was wondering if it was possible to do a...

Gents, I have an all mahogany tele-style guitar with a mahogany neck and ebony board, and predictably it's a little on the dark side. I currently have two 36th anniversary pickups in it, but even with those it's a tad bit dark. In my stash, I have JB and Distortion bridge, and 59 and Jazz...

Gents, A few weeks ago, I picked up this guitar from a TGP forumite: Fantastic guitar, built from USACG parts, with Dimarzio Virtual P-90, Virtual Solo, and Area T. Here is the problem; the bridge pickup sounds very good, bridge plus middle and middle as well, but when I get to the neck...

Hey guys, Thinking of doing an Am Std strat as an H/H with a '59 neck and JB bridge, two vols and a tone, 3 way with a coil split. Question is, in a brighter guitar like a strat (generally), do you do 250k pots with the A5 '59 and JB, do you go 500k, or do you do 500k and swap the A5 for A2?

So, the title says it all. I'm looking for an SD pickup that sounds like the Pro Track. Makes wiring diagrams easier, no out of phase issues from going between different manufacturers, no translating wiring diagrams. If all else fails, I can go with an actual Pro Track, but I'd prefer SD. Go!

Hey guys, ordered a Vintage Hot stack plus from eBay, and the one I received was marked STK-S7b; my question is, is that a bridge model, and are there accompanying N and M models for neck and middle? Thanks!

Re: Whoever suggested I try the stock pickups in my new guitar for a while Either way, I'm pretty sure my rack isn't as good as yours... This is all that's in my rack at present

Hey guys, just tried to install a new pickguard with two Classic Stack Pluses and a PATB-3 into my USACG strat, but the Stacks had to be pressed in hard to get them in there, after having shaved the hard plastic casing down, and the PATB-3 just would not fit; in order to get it in there at all...

Hey Gents, Because pictures get peoples' attention... Now, to business! I just did an electronics install on a new partscaster, here known as my LessPaul. The body and neck are mahogany, neck has a rosewood board, body has a thin maple top. Pickups are two Seth Lovers and a Classic...

Hey guys, looking for PAFish in a single coil sized pickup. I know the lil 59 is out there, but who has used the Pro Track, and what's your take on it?
