I have been fortunate enough to have a WLH set on loan from an amazing friend for the past couple of weeks, so I could see if they worked for me. Before I begin my review, I feel compelled to admit yet again that I am a huge Alnico 2 magnet fan and have generally struggled with A5 pickups...

I've just picked up one of these for a good deal. Do any of you know what the difference might be from a regular production '59? The sticker literally just says "Custom Shop '59n". I thought I'd check here before I bother MJ or Derrick. They always get right back to me but I try to limit my...

I'm hesitant to post this, due to the excess Gibson hate present, but I believe this is a good Gibson release for Gibson fans to discuss. I believe this is a beautiful SG with graceful appointments. Did I mention that I find it beautiful? I don't normally care for tortoise guards on guitars...

Please look at the 2nd pic in the listing. Ever see a Pearly Gates with a back like this? You can clearly see the PGBG tag on the bottom pickup, but I've never seen one with a black back. Yes, SD did make some Ed Roman "blackbacks", but this is not one of them. Every one I've seen has a small SD...

I can't remember and wanted to see about ordering something. Thanks.

Re: Updates To My 93' Alvarez Dana Scoop It most certainly is. I only have a couple of old pics of the full guitar in my old music room, but the best one is below. A few of the Scoops had matching headstock colors on certain special colors, like white. The majority of them had a black...

Basically, I've accumulated a lot of single pickups via sales and trades here, but almost none came with boxes. If you have the single boxes (foam is nice but beggars can't be choosers) or the double boxes like the WLH comes in; either will work. The boxes don't have to be the same name as the...

These are the top of the line Gotoh 510 tuners with 1:21 gear ratio in Antique Gold in 3x3 with the L5 buttons. They came off my 2011 Taylor W-14ce-LTD acoustic guitar. They are in as new condition and function flawlessly. I'm only letting these go because I bought the exact same tuners, but in...

***SOLD*** These are in excellent shape and I never got around to installing them. They are tastefully relic'd but not overdone. Very nice patina. I bought them for my '57 RI but shortly after found a Faber Master Lock set for a great deal. These are for USA spec guitars, not imports. Retail...

......in my Spalted Maple Dean Hardtail. I had a Slash Set in it that I had been testing out, and they sounded fantastic. But I have several other sets of pickups coming soon and I wanted to try out the Custom for longer than the 10 minutes I'd tried it before. So, this is a double cream large...

Re: Old 59 Nope, Lydia Daniels is a D, I have one of her pickups (below). The "L" stands for "Lesona", as in the Lesona winder Seymour bought from Gibson after they moved from Kalamazoo. I'm not sure exactly when they started stamping them that way. I have a Pearly Gates neck that is labeled...

I bought this guitar brand new in 1993. I've had it in various stages of assembly over the last couple of years, so yesterday I decided to install all of the new parts and get it working and all together. I've had the parts and new neck pickup sitting around for almost 2 years. It's the only...

Just a bit of house cleaning on a few items I no longer need: Pickups, all in very good or better condition, no cases - Pickups are all sold or spoken for. Still have the awesome Fulltone pedal below. Pedals - Early Fulltone Fulldrive 2 from April 1999. These early Fulldrive models are...

Re: Guitar Upgrades/Changes Made On 4 Guitars Today PICS ADDED to original post, for those who asked.

PICS ADDED .....and that's a lot of work for me right now with my back and the nerve damage, but sometimes the desire to tinker and finish some projects overrides the pain. Most of the changes were routine: 2 USA Dean Hardtail's had new Schaller S-Locks installed and the old Schaller locks...
