I have an old Electromatic that have some Filtertrons in it. This guitar only has two pots, so I tried wiring them straight to the output jack with no tone pots. I find that I need some tone control. Before I opt to a single volume and single tone, I thought I might try to wire in a fixed...

I sold my bandmate my American Deluxe Tele with a Firebird mini in the neck and Hot for Tele bridge PU. I really liked that guitar but I just have too many right now and I am selling off a few guitars. I decided to keep my '52 Reissue but I really miss that pickup combination. I have a spare...

Re: The Pickup That Seymour Wound for Van halen This was fun stuff..Best EVH thread ever was a looooong one in another forum. People posted funny pics with Eddie's head on other bodies..Moshzilla and all kinds of stuff that made me just howl at work.

I have a Les Paul with Pearly Gates that I just love. I have another with Seth Lovers that I also love the sound of. I have a 1983 Ibanez AS-80, (ES-335 style with maple body and neck with rosewood board). The pickups in that are Super 58 Alnico III. I picked up an Epiphone ES-335 Dot...

First, I have a variety of Les Pauls and HB style guitars. So this is splitting hairs to some extent. I have mainly used Seth Lovers, Pearly Gates, 57 Classics, Burstbuckers in my guitars. At one time, I used a Custom Custom in the bridge in one of my Les Pauls. Overall I remember liking the...

I am looking at an HH Strat style guitar and I wanted to try to go with Alnico II Pro neck and Custom 5 bridge with 4 conductor wiring. My goal is to get the following configurations: Neck Hum, Neck Coil Tap, Neck and Bridge Hum, Neck Split and Bridge Hum, Bridge Hum. I want to get these with...

Tonight I was a little unhappy with my bridge PU on my Les Paul. I have been using my Custom Custom and really like the mids for overdrive/distorted rock tones. I am becoming a bit bothered by the mids for my clean sound lately. I think most of it has to do with my use of single coil guitars...

I have a Japan '62 reissue Strat. I am am mostly a humbucker player, (Gibsons and Gretsches) I do enjoy my P90 guitars, too. I recently modified my Telecaster with a Antiquity Firebird Neck and Hot for Tele STL-2. I just find the Strat tones bright for my tastes I am looking to make a...

I have a Yamaha SA503 TVL which is a semi hollow guitar, bigsby and three P90's. Something is going on with the wiring as the guitar plays normally, but the volume one the middle PU is faint. Would that be a ground wire somewhere? There is some unique wiring as there are two three way...

I put a mini humbucker Antiquity II Firebird PU in the bridge of my Les Paul Goldtop. I had some trouble with an out of phase sound with both pickups combined and finally got that resolved with a magnet swap on the P90. I finally got to play the guitar at practice with loud volume and to my...

I finally got my Firebird pickup ring for my Les Paul Goldtop. I found something strange after I tested it. Neck P90 tests at 6.6K DC Ohms or so and Bridge Firebird at 7.4K or so. With both pickups engaged, I expected to see about half and it came in around 3.6K DC Ohms, which is about right...

With the Hot for Tele STL-2 bridge, what is best 250K or 500K? Jack

What model mini humbucker is being used in the Fender '52 Hot Rod Telecaster? I assume the SM-1, but the website doesn't specify. Jack

I need some opinions on the Les Paul Goldtop with a P90 neck and Mini Humbucker bridge. This guitar is for rock and blues, who has experience with that combo?? Thoughts?? Jack

Can one acheive the Peter Green out of phase sound by wiring the neck and bridge out of phase with a push/pull pot, (four conductor wiring) or is it more complicated than that? I have seen the neck rotated so the pole pieces are closer to the bridge and read that the magnet needs to be flipped...
