I've got a few extra pickups and want to complete a couple projects, so I'd like to see if there's a match out there. Here's what I have: Seymour Duncan 59 Neck (Zebra) Seymour Duncan JB Bridge (Zebra - standard spaced) Dimarzio PAF Master Bridge (Zebra - F-spaced) Dimarzio Air Classic Bridge...

Long time no post! I've had some fun this year trading and acquiring new guitars and wanted some advice on an LTD Eclipse 1000 Les Paul type guitar. It came stock with a Duncan JB in the bridge and 59 in the neck. Sounded pretty good, but it could be better. The JB sounds like a wah pedal...

Looking for a JB/C5 bridge hybrid, regular spacing, double-black. Also looking for a Jazz neck, regular spacing, double-black. Thanks!

I've got a JB/C5 hybrid with black coils, good amount of wire on it still. No logo. Looking for a 59/C5 hybrid with black coils. Just want a lower output/more vintage style hybrid with black coils. Thanks!

Played a whole bunch of Strats and Teles trying to figure out what I like in a Fender, and my favorite out of all of them was the 72 Deluxe Tele RI with the Fender "Wide-Range" humbuckers. So of course Fender doesn't sell them separately and they are odd humbucker sizes. And of course nobody...

A few questions: 1. Are these available in white? Or can I put a cover on them? I've only ever seen the black ones with exposed wiring. I've never rewired a strat so I have no idea...is that how they're supposed to look? 2. For a '59 Trembucker with a 5-way and master volume and tone...

What would a 59/Jazz hybrid sound like compared to a Jazz neck? What would a 59/C5 hybrid sound like compared to a JB/C5 in the bridge? I've got a JB/C5 hybrid I love and want to put some more hybrids in another guitar...

Alright, so for some odd reason, I never listened to Iron Maiden until recently. Now I know why everyone loves them. :) Their tone really does rock, and everything I've heard from them is that they use humbuckers in single-coil guitars. Now I've got a Strat that is quite neglected. I was...

Alright, swapped back for my A5's after my A8 experiment. I like it much better. The output is a little lower, and sustain is a bit less, but there are more harmonics. Instead of the guitar feeling kind of dull and muddy, it feels open and alive. The strings sounded just a bit more snappy...

Alright, so I'm going to rewire my Cort with all new pots, caps, switch, and all that good stuff. I never use the humbucker/single-coil split, so I'm not going to bother with that. But I saw a thread about the TBX tone control, and the treble cut/bass cut thing looks interesting. Anybody do...

Alright, so I attempted a refin of my Les Paul Studio (the good ones from the early 90's with ebony fretboards and gold hardware) and screwed it up many times. I'm going to fix it over the next couple months, including new pickups. To hold me over in the meantime, I bought a sweet little Cort...

Guess I'm gonna be a guinea pig here. Got home from work, went to the guitar shop in town (Twin Town in Minneapolis, gotta love 'em), and picked myself up a Cort Katana. I know you're shaking your heads at me, but you have to play it to believe it. And at $350 with a bag, it didn't break the...

Well, after months of trying to refinish my Les Paul, I'm giving up for a while. Found a sweet Cort guitar that plays incredibly well and has a really good tone for the money. It's exactly the feel that I've wanted out of a guitar, and it's different enough from my LP that I can keep them...

So I'm finally getting around to overhauling my Strat. It is a 1997-8 Fender California Strat with S/S/S Tex Mex pickups. I'm a drummer first, acoustic guitarist second, Les Paul player third, and Strat player fourth. However, I love this guitar and am currently refinishing the Paul, and I've...
