Looking for Bridge pickup that has the lower midrange grunt and push of the Custom Custom, but also great sparkly top end. Does such a beast exist?

I'm thinking of replacing the Custom Custom (came stock) in my Hamer Monaco Elite with the 59/Custom. I'm looking to add some treble, which I believe the 59/custom will do, but how are the mids? The Custom Custom is a mid-range monster, but it has more lower mids that I might typically use...

Looking for a Duncan Custom SH-5 in double black and/or zerbra.

I have a Yamaha SG3000 guitar that I'd like to change pickups. The SG3000 is a warm, round, and dark sounding guitar. I'd like to liven it up a bit and give it a bit an edgy snarl while still having nice midrange tone, but still a nice treble that will keep it somewhat clear sounding. Some...

What effect does degaussing an A5 have on tone? Does it come closer to the sound of an A4? Does it just sound like an A5 with less string pull? Thoughts please.

I've seen a lot of negative commetns on the jazz neck pickup. Curious to know why you like/dislike?

PM me if you have one you're looking to sell. Thanks!

Are the 78 and BroBucker both unevenly wound?

I'm thinking of putting a set of Pearly Gates Plus in my LP. My understanding is these are a slightly hotter wind that the regular Pearly Gates, with an A5 magnet. I've seen them obviously for strats, but would a combo of these work in an LP? Do these even comes in a set that I could put...

What is the difference b/t the two? I'm confused on the difference b/t something like the BB Pro's or Pearly Gates and one of the Dimarzio "Dual Resonance" designs.

I've read contradicting reports on this....does anyone know for sure if the newer Yamaha SG3000 has a brass sustain block under the bridge? According to the Yamaha Japan website...the SG1000/SG2000/SG3000 all use the same bridge piece, but no indication or mention of the sustain block.

I've been following many threads lately and trying to absorb many different opinions and objectives.... Given we know how a pickup works and how it effects tone.....how is it that wood plays any factor? Not trying to stir the pot...but I'd really just want to know. Given we have a magnetic...

First post everyone, so go easy :cool: For my LP clone, i'm looking to add a more open, singing, and warmer tone. Generally speaking, i'm looking for more/fuller bass, and more/fuller midrange in the neck, with more of a 3D sound. I'm not worried about distortion or overdrive as i will...
