2005 wine red Gibson Les Paul Studio, with cream/gold/chrome parts, custom wound Carl DeArmond pickups, and non original HSC. The original black parts are in the case as well... But why would you put them on. You know the rest of the specs... Fingerboard is real rosewood, not whatever Gibson is...

FS: GJ2 Glendora, Jackson Pro Series DK2m, Warmoth/Peavey "Frankenstrat" Partscaster GJ2 Glendora: Pretty much mint condition, except I had the Gotoh tuners and Floyd style string retainer replaced with Hipshot staggered locking tuners, which is presently the stock specs on newer models, had...

Re: GJ2 guitars? Raising an old thread, cause I did a search for the Habanero pickups... I just received my GJ2 Glendora, it's a special edition from Wichita Guitar Works, it was either made using older specs by request, or it was made back when GJ was making them all like this. Hardware is...

Earlier today I received a used 2005 Les Paul Studio from a dealer on Reverb, which I'm loving. It has hand wound pickups from Carl DeArmond... Does anyone have any info on him and his pickups. They sound pretty nice.

Black Ice finish, rosewood fingerboard, mint condition except for having the pickup cavities slightly enlarged, by a professional, to fit the Parallel Axis pickups. Plays and sounds great, but I have 3 Floyd guitars and that's 2 too many. Comes with gig bag, trem arm, and the trem stop bar. The...

Just had another set of the PATB-1 and 3 installed in my Ibanez Premium RG920... HOLY CRAP THAT NECK PICKUP SINGS!!!! 100% convinced that the PATB's are the greatest pickups ever devised. Think I'm replacing the 59 in my Jackson with the PATB-1 neck too.

Re: Must be a DiMarzio/Ibanez conspiracy Doesn't even need a re-route, we're talking a shave. At first glance I thought maybe the base plate could be filed down a little, but the bobbins themselves are too big.

Re: Must be a DiMarzio/Ibanez conspiracy This SHOULD fix the issue

I went to install my new PATB pickups in my Ibanez, and discovered this nonsense. DiMarzio... Always making my life difficult. Time to whip out the metal file.

Wanna buy a set of those Parallel Axis pickups, really only interested in the Blues Saraceno pickup for the bridge though.

I recently bought a new Jackson DK2, and I basically hate the JB. I originally ordered a set of the Slash pickups, which I have loved in the past, not realizing the pickup cavities were too shallow for them. The tech who does all my work suggested the Blues pickup, I was intrigued with the...

I've been playing around with the guitar I have my Custom 8 in, and something is just not right. The pickup doesn't sound bad, but the bass sounds almost too tight, and too focused. It's loud, has sustain, but doesn't seem to have a lot of dirt. Could it be the strings? It's in a Frankenstrat...

I brought my Custom Custom, which I just got back from Duncan for a Custom 8 mag swap, brought it to the guy who does all my work, and he put the meter on it... It read 14.85k. That doesn't sound right, shouldn't the A8 mag increase that by a substantial amount? I believe I was given rewind...

I have a PAF Joe neck pickup wired in both series and parallel, and in both settings there is hum, and in parallel the pickup sounds like it's being used with a cocked wah... Is this normal for this pickup? The guitar is an Ibanez RG920, I wired the pickups exactly the way the stock DiMarzio IBZ...

I sent my Custom Custom to Duncan for a mag swap, MJ called me today, and being I was at work I couldn't really talk, but she said there was a crack in a bobbin, significant one, and she wasn't sure I sent it in for a mag swap and rewind. I told her just the swap, and she said she was gonna...
