I just got a Fender Blacktop Strat... The problem is it doesn't have any electronics. I'm wondering what a good PAF-style pickup is for strats (I've got Seths and Ants in Les Pauls and a 335). I was considering the Pearly Gates, '59s, and the Saturday Night Special. I typically play pretty...

After going way down the boutique rabbit hole, I finally realized that my favorite Strat pickup is the SSL-1 (followed closely by the APS-1). Since I seem to like the way Seymour Duncan voices their pickups I thought I'd see what would be a good pickup for an HSS Strat. I'm looking got a pickup...

I have a set of Antiquity II Surfers that are wrapped in paper with just a sticker with the resistance on the bottom (6.31k, 6.47k, and 9.71k). I know the 9.71k is the bridge. How do I tell which of the others is the neck and mid?

I got a used Custom Shop neck pick up for a strat i'm working on. It's alnico V and measures 4.71 (according to the box and my measurement). I'm not sure what pickups I should put in the middle and bridge. I have Alnico II Pro in one strat and SSL-1's in another. Would the antiquity II surfers...

I've got a Phat Cat neck and a Pearly Gates bridge that I'm gonna put in a Les Paul. When I went the diagram page it gave me a wiring diagram but it's for 2 volumes and 1 tone. I want to use 2 volumes and 2 tones. Would I wire that the same as 2 humbuckers?

I’m looking to get a set of Strat pickups to upgrade the very first guitar I ever owned (a MIM Strat that I just got back from a friend after 11 years). Now, I’ve been trying to get my ideal Strat tone for several years. I don’t know how to describe exactly what I’m looking for in a pickup, but...

I have a PRS SE Santana that I want to put a '59 in the neck the issue is its a single conductor cable and the diagram is for a 4 connector. How would I do this?

So I just got a Tele with a P90 in the neck (I think it's a Benson). It's a little too close to the strings, but I can't lower it (or remove it) because the mounting screws are stripped. Can you get replacement screws?

Hi everyone. A few weeks back I asked about upgrading the pickups in my PRS SE Singlecut and got a lot of great recommendations. I wound up getting a set of the Alnico II Pros and they have just blown me away... So I have been upgrading the pups in a few other guitars. I put a set of Antiquities...

Ok so this is probably a dumb question but I wanted to ask before I go on the warpath. I've been in the process of upgrading the pickups of a number of my guitars and I got purchased a used "Seth Lover" neck pickup from someone on Reverb. I just took it out to install and on the back it has a...

Hi everyone, I've been looking at getting a new set of pickups for my PRS SE Singlecut (hardtail). I'm not really sure which pickups to get I want something that would be different than what I've got in other guitars. I'm got a PRS semihollow loaded with Seths, an American Standard Strat loaded...

I'm looking for a wiring diagram for 2 humbuckers with single conductors, 1 volume, 1 tone, 3 way toggle switch. The problem I'm having is finding one with the vintage style wiring. How would I do that?

I just got a PRS SE Semi hollow and I want to change out the pickups (currently has EMGs). I was looking at several other threads about pickups for the Semi Hollow, but there was never any agreement. I mainly play clean to light distortion. Any ideas what would be a good set of pickups of this...
