Hi everyone. I’m building a cool thin line Tele with a BG1400 in the bridge and want to put a Psyclone/TV Jones/Filtertron in the neck because I love the look. However, I don’t know which model would be a good match for the BG1400. Any suggestions? Best, J.

Howdy, How you all holding up during this quarantine? I've been able to write a lot and catch up with other music things, but gotta admit not being able to play gigs or even rehearse sucks. I wanted to share my new album with all of you. It features musicians of Alice Cooper, Jane's Addiction...

I'm looking for a great, musical Alnico 2 bridge humbucker to pair with a Pearly Gates neck on my Robin Savoy. This guitar is kinda of a cross between a 335 and a Les Paul. It's semihollow but with a solid mahogany body and maple top. It's sounds very open and ringing sounding acoustically. I...

I'm putting together a sort of custom 4X12 rock cabinet with two Celestion G12H-75 Creambacks that I had around the house. What other two do you recommend to pair with the creambacks? Also, do you recommend a flat or X pattern? Thanks!

Howdy! I've a 2015 Marshall Silver Jubilee that I love but need it to have a bit more bite and aggressiveness. I love the tone but just need a more punch. Currently, I've the amp's gain cranked to 10. I'm looking for a classic rock on steroids type of tone. Kinda of Dean DeLeo's tone on Stone...

I've an ENGL Standard 4X12 that got for a very good price in almost new condition. The thing is that it comes with Celestions Vintage 60, which are kind custom made for ENGL but have a very tight bass and don't get along very well with my Silver Jubilee. I want to replace all 4 of them with...

Howdy Fellas, I just got an Orville from Japan and was thinking of swapping at least the bridge pickup. The thing is that the neck pickup sounds very nice, much better than what I expected and now I want to find out more about it so I can find a good Seymour Duncan match for the bridge. I...

Think I'm going to go with the Vintage Stacked STK-3TB in the bridge of my mahogany tele. But don't know what to pair it with in the neck. It must be a humbucker or humbucker sized. What do you recommend? Thanks a lot!

In between these two for the Mahogany Tele I'm building. BG 1400 cost twice but $ is not an issue for this one. I want an organic rock and lousy tone but still articulate and good for riffs. What do you suggest? Thanks a ton!

Howdy, howdy. New build coming up. Got a mahogany telecaster body and a wenge/ebony neck. Now it's time to select the pickups. The bridge is a standard telecaster size, so I'll have to either go with a high output tele pickup or a tele-sized humbucker. So far, I like Pearly Gates Jr. BG 1400...

I've a USA Charvel San Dimas Style 2, the telecaster model. It has an alder body and 1 piece quartersawn maple neck. It has a JB in the bridge and 59 in the neck. The guitar is the best playing guitar I've own and want to keep it as my main studio guitar for soloing. It's effortless. However, it...

Looking for a Humbucker sized neck pickup to match the Little 59 in the bridge of my telecaster. The guitar has an alder body and maple/rosewood neck. What do you think is the most balanced and belonging option? Other options welcomed too. Thanks guys, you the best!

Upgrading the pickups on an Alder body & Maple/Rosewood Neck telecaster. Going with a Vintage Stack Telecaster (STK 3TB) in the bridge and a humbucker in the neck. What would better fit the STK 3TB? Looking for something of a similar tonal family and volume. Cheers!

Howdy! Decided to remove the Gibson Burstbucker 3(b) & 57(n) from my 2009 Les Paul Traditional Pro. These are sweet pickups but quite average; recently had a high end studio session and they couldn't keep up. I was disappointed. I want to get the bridge to be a bit more raw, gnarly and the...

So finally got my tele modded and set up. Man it sounds even much better than it looks. Thanks guys so much for the support. I pretty much got the sound I was looking for: raw, gnarly but with a good twang and cuts through the mix like nothing else. Ah, btw, the Pearly Gates splits like a total...
