Need a bridge humbucker that won’t overpower a DiMarzio HS3 neck pickup. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you

I have a 2005 Carvin DC127, maple neck thru with alder body and Carvin C22 pickups. I love the guitar and I like the pickups as well. But I want to replace the pickups with something a bit warmer and more modern. Any recommendations? thanks guys!

I have an ‘08 USA Tele with a DiMarzio Air Norton T in the bridge and a PG-13 mini humbucker in the neck. Using 300k pots. The guitar sounds great. But I am looking for a bit more crunch from the bridge and a bit more clarity in the neck. I mostly play shred/hard rock. Looking for suggestions...

Hey guys! I have a basswood RG with floating trem. Chopper neck, Evolution single middle, Evolution bridge. 500k vol and 250k tone. The Chopper sounds great. The Evolution bridge is a little too over the top for my tastes. The Evolution single in the middle doesn’t seem to have much impact on...

Hey guys! I bought a used HSS guitar that has a DiMarzio Evolution in the bridge and 2 Fender true singles in neck and middle. I don’t know what kind of Fender pups these are but there isn’t a huge volume drop between those and the Evo. However, they are noisy. I want to replace them with...

Hey guys! I have a SUPER bright ash Strat S/S/H that needs to be warmed up and fattened up for hard rock/shred Can I get some SD pup recommendations? Thanks!!!!

Have a H/H direct Mount super Strat with locking trem, maple neck, rosewood board. Current pickups are DMZ Tone Zone bridge and Air Norton neck. Both of these pickups have way too much output for me. I like to get my distortion from pedals and my amp. Not my pickups. The Tone Zone seems to have...

I understand that no full sized humbucker will ever sound like a single coil pickup. But I'm looking for a full sized bucker for the neck position that sounds CLOSEST to a single coil. Dimarzio or SD options preferred. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Have a Mesa MkIII blue stripe (no GEQ). Tons of gain. Was wondering if you guys had a recommendation on a pedal to tighten this thing up a bit. Sounds great and I don't feel the need for any more gain. Just something to tighten it up. I was leaning towards a tubescreamer but this amp has tons of...

Bridge pickup and neck pickup were both wound by MJ. These pickups are based on talks I had with MJ about what I needed/wanted. I am very proud of them. She did an amazing job. I hope you enjoy as well. Thank you. (This recording was done with an iphone5s. I apologize for the non studio...

YJM Fury in the neck or STK6 or STK7? Thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?

I have owned Vox, Crybaby, Fulltone (original standard), and Teese picture wah and wizard wah. The Teese picture wah was my fave but it had bad radio interference. I sold it. One of my issues is that live, at a loud stage volume and at rehearsal, when the heel is down things get too boomy...

What was the guitar pick most widely used in the 80's? Celluloid? Nylon?

What neck single coil balances well with a JB in the bridge? I use the neck pup a lot for soloing and want something that sounds like a single coil but bucks the hum and can take some OD. Thanks!

I have an EBMM Silhouette, alder body, HSH, configuration, fixed bridge. I like the pups in it but I need a little more output. I have always found Duncans to be more toneful. Any suggestions? I just need a nice, warm, vintage styled PAF vibe ...and a tad hotter than what I have now. Thank you
