Hey guys, A friend of mine has 2012 Custom shop limited edition 1963 Heavy Relic Strat. It has a JB in it. The JB sounds awesome. Better than I remember it sounding in my Les Paul. Is this likely a stock JB, or like the antiquity that is demagnetized a bit to sound smoother? Any input welcome...

I really want to see if the Custom Shop would make me a set of pickups that are spec'd like the Bonamassa set. I have been falling back in love with my LP again but need a new set of pups. I've heard a bunch of people using them and really like the tone! I didn't realize they were a limited run...

I'm looking for pickups to go into my '84 Les Paul Standard. I want to be able to get as traditional a PAF tone for a Les Paul as I can get. I want to get anything from a nice warm Jazz tone all the way to Cream and Zep style tones. Of these pickups, which is the most true to vintage PAF? Also...

I have a JB in the bridge of my Les Paul. Wondering if anyone has tried it in a PRS Custom 24? Also I was thinking about a 59' in the neck. I have a Jazz in the neck of the PRS now. I like the Jazz better than the Alnico Pro 2 but wanted to know what else people are using.

I'm looking at Suhr pick ups. Never had them in a guitar. I'm interested in people's impressions of the ML single coils and the SSH+ Humbucker. Anyone have thoughts? The ML pups would be for the neck and middle of a strat and the SSH+ in the bridge. I was also thinking about trying the SSH+ in...

I have my bridge pickup covered. I've tried a lot of stuff there but I put my 59/09 bridge back in my PRS Custom 24 and I gotta say...... they did a good job on that thing. I never liked the 59/09 neck pick up though. I'm still looking for a neck pup though. I've been using a Jazz neck but I...

OK guys my last thread was very informative. I've learned a lot about the Duncan Distortion. Right now I'm playing a custom 5 in the bridge of my PRS Custom 24. My question is how does the Custom 5 compare to the JB? If you can compare both the Custom 5, JB, with Duncan Distortion, that would...

I have a PRS Custom 24. I have been switching between the EVH Frankenstein and the Custom 5 in the Bridge. Both good but not perfect. I want something high output but still very articulate. Would the Duncan Distortion do it? Full Shred? All opinions welcome!

Hi guys, I'm having problems getting the right tone out of the neck position of my PRS Custom 24. I really like John Petrucci's smooth but very articulate neck pup tone. I don't have a liquifire but i had a old air norton sitting in my closet. I installed it in the Custom 24 and it gets too...

Hi guys, I currently have a Custom 5 in the bridge of my Custom 24. What could I expect from a '78 in that guitar? Other pick up suggestions welcome.

Anyone had one of these in their strat? I'm really interested in the neck pick up. Also is there a big difference from the DiMarzio version?

Still in need of a neck pup. Leaning towards a Pearly Gates. I was looking at the custom shop and came across the Brobucker. Anyone have info on this thing? The guitar is a Warmoth Soloist 24 fret with recessed floyd. Basswood body with maple top. Maple finger board.
