I'm currently in the process of building a guitar body from a piece of maple from a tree my family cut down, and am looking for good single coil style pickups to put in it. I mostly play modern rock, so I'm currently thinking of a Little 59 in the bridge, but don't know if that would be a good...

Not sure if this is the place for this question, and if it's not please point me towards the correct forum. During a recent pickup change on my Epiphone Les Paul Custom I somehow managed to damage one of the volume pots (it's one of the push/pull coil split ones, seems like it got jammed in...

Thinking about swapping the pickups in my PRS Zach Myers to the Pegasus/Sentient set, but the only decent quality demos I've been able to find are more geared towards metal tones. Does anyone have any experience with this set in more of a rock context? They would be going through a Peavey...

My band recently started recording a demo, and when I listened back to some of the tracks I'm really unsatisfied with my guitar tone. It sounded fine when we were jamming or I was playing alone, but hearing it with the full mix I'm unhappy with it, to the point of rerecording my parts multiple...

Managed to get a good deal on a PRS SE Zach Myers (the semi-hollow, not the 3 humbucker model) several months back and quickly fell in love with it. The only issue I have is the bridge pickup. There's not enough power behind it while playing distorted, and it's way too bright for my taste when...

A few months ago I installed a Full Shred in the bridge of my Schecter Blackjack ATX C-1, and while it does sound good I feel like its missing something. In the past I've really enjoyed the sound of alnico 2 humbuckers and they generally compliment my playing style well, particularly the Alnico...

I'm wanting to replace the Blackouts in my Schecter Blackjack Atx C-1. I was planning on replacing them with the full shred set, but after looking around online I found several people saying that the pegasus was a better choice than the full shred. I have played the full shred in the past and...

I recently (about 5 months ago) bought a Schecter Blackjack ATX C-1 that came stock with SD Blackouts. I really liked the sound of them playing at low volume (around 1 on my Peavey 6505+) in my bedroom but after jamming with my band recently I feel that they are a bit much at higher volumes...

I currently have a Sh-5 custom in the bridge of my epiphone les paul custom paired with an alnico 2 pro in the neck. The custom has an incredible hard rock and metal tone through my peavey 6505+, but for the group I've played with for about a year now it is a bit too shrill in the highs and...

I've been looking into ordering a custom superstrat from Halo Guitars and was wondering what pickups would be best in it. It's an alder string thru body with a maple neck and a rosewood fretboard. I'm not sure yet if I'm going to get it with a set neck or a neckthru design, if that makes a...

I currently have a Duncan Custom in the bridge of my Epi Les Paul custom. I like the way it sounds, but its lacking the aggressiveness i was looking for. would adding a thicker ceramic magnet make it sound more aggressive? Im looking for a sound between a custom and a distortion, sorta like a...

I've been playing my les paul with the Slash A2P set, and while i really like the neck pu for cleans, i need a bridge with a bit more power to it. I've narrowed it down to the Sh-5 Custom or the Sh-6 Distortion. I play mostly modern rock and metal such as Bullet For My Valentine, Three Days...
