No, i'm not looking for a stag mag witha a cover, i simply would like to know if anyone ever tried it with a cover, and how it sounds? I there a noticeable difference in the sound? One of the reason is the following: My Stag Mag is black/pink and this looks terrible in a black Explorer. (It...

I have an offer to get a vintage rails bridge pickup, which i need for the middle or neck position. (HSS or HSH setup). What do you think? Actually i have an SSL-1 pickup (i think so) and i like bright pickups in the middle position. The Bridge version of the Vintage rails is bit darker than the...

Maybe this is gonna be my next guitar (after i sold almost a dozen of other guitars...) and i'd like to know what your experiences are. -I've heard the scalloped neck makes it not easier to play fast, but easier to grip "sure". How does this work for chords? -How is the guitar routed? SSS? HSS...

Possible to get series & blender mod with Tone or TBX Pot? Hey Artie! Help needed... In the next days i'm gonna "restore" my strat in it's usual shape with 3 single-coils, almost wired traditionally. But i still like to have 2 additional sounds without changing the look. one master volume, one...

I have a lot of stuff for sale. I wrote that i only ship to Germany, but it's no problem to ship inside the EU. http://search.ebay.de/_W0QQsassZingemalmstein :burnout:

Hi guys, i'd just like to know your opinions about splitting a bridge Humbucker, especially on a H-S-H guitar. I always prefered the coils which are closer to the neck (i think at the neck position the pickup migh be "stratier"), because at the bridge position the screw coil might be too thin...

I'm just curious, after i asked how the hotrails neck does sound splitted, i just like to know how the Cool Rails sounds in splitted mode. Would it be too weak in comparison to a vintage single-coil, or it would it have enough output. Some say that the Coolrails sounds between Paf and...

I have 2 fender pickguards which are routed for H-S-H, white pearl and tortoise (originally H-S-S, but i made the hole of the neck pos. wider for a humbucker - it looks fine!) and i once had a combo of 5! lace Sensors. So i have screw holes for 5 singleCOils AND 2 Humbuckers - on both...

Some guys here are using a 59bridge in the neck. Waht about a Jazz bridge in the neck position? I like the Jazz neck for a single-coil-voicing sound and its sweetness. I tried a 59N before but it's too bassy in the guitar (explorer), i also tried a 59Bridge and a SCreamin Demon - they are a bit...

Some players wrote that the Full shred N is a smooth and warm Neck pickup. How is it compared to PAF-ish neck pickups? From its values it seems to be bright as the Jazz neck. I use the jazz neck in a mahagony guitar, i liked it, but now the Jazz sounds a bit too clear, not round enoguh. It is...

I'll get the DiMarzio Paf-Pro Humbucker, which is used on the Fender-Sambora-Strat. It looks a bit different than the regular Paf-Pro. Does it also sound a bit different? By the way: What can i expect from it? I have a screamin demon which is a bit too bright and i have a '59, which is round a...

Anyone ever tried this? I like the open, glassy tone, but sometimes i'd like to have the tone a bit smoother and still with the single-coil-vibe. I use one volume-pot, but not tone-pot (Ibanez PGM). So this makes the already bright pickup even brighter!

Once i "tested" one wiring, which i reversed the wires of one humbucker: not the grenn & balck wire, i did it with the red/white & the green/black wire! red and white to ground and hot, green & black in series. For splitting i wanted to connect all humbuckers to ground and having free of hum in...

I wonder if a Duncan Distortion is the same as the JB with a big ceramic magnet? (or if a Distortion with A-5 is the same as a JB) :smokin:

I find very less here about this pickup. Is it a moderate-Sound PU? Is it a PAFish-Sound PU? I already used a metal-live wire set, which includes a classic live wire in the neck. I find the metal live wire too midy and mushy on some guitars, so i'm thinking about a classic live wire. Does it...
