Goes as follows; 1 master volume,1 master tone. Now the tricky part. There will be a single P-Rail pickup in bridge position.P90 at the bridge side,rail towards the neck.What I would like to achieve is a center detented potentiometer that goes from p90 side to both in series in the middle to...

Ok I recently went to a friend's place to hang out,noodle around on guitars and have a cup of coffee.Then he brings a case and out comes a partscaster.Mahogany body from who knows where,and a 90 something Japanese fender 62 style neck(rosewood fretboard).Trem (vintage style) was not blocked but...

Lets assume we have a humbucker with absolutely identical coils(i.e. same wind,wire,resistance and let's say both have slugs).Bridge coil is south,neck coil is bridge.Would there be a difference in sound if we wire the pickup from north coil to south coil and vice versa keeping the wiring...

Anyone tried it?I think outputwise it would be at about medium.Since it's a warm/dark sounding pickup,what should I expect in the bridge position of a balanced sounding swamp ash body/one piece maple neck strat?Music style is rock and hard rock in general,60's to 90's.

Some time ago a put a DD set in an Ibanez rg550 rosewood fretboard along with wiring for Series/parallel switches in each humbucker and autosplits in positions 2 and 4 plus middle single coil in position 3 of the switch,thanks of course to Artie who kindly did the diagram for me(thanks Artie)...

In an HSH superstrat with autosplits in positions 2 and 4 I want to wire a single switch to change wiring from series to parallel for BOTH humbuckers SIMULTANEOUSLY(ie positions 1 and 5 typical in series humbuckers,flip switch,position 1 and 5 parallel humbuckers WITHOUT affecting positions 2,3...

I'm sure to some of you it's child's play.So I recently remembered the L-pad thing thanks to some posts.Now this is what I'm thinking: Ibanez RG550 stock middle sc and distortion mayhem set for neck and bridge hbs.1 switch to lower output in BOTH pos 1 and 5 ONLY.Same splits as usual in...

Anybody tried this?In which guitars?How did it sound like? Can you compare sound to standard bridge Duncan humbuckers(eg JB,SH6b or Custom)?Thanks in advance.

My Ibanez RG550 is not the sweetest axe in the universe,but I like it alot.As it is it has paf pro/s1/paf pro.I want to keep the tonal balance of the bridge paf pro with more output. sh6?dimarzio evo?what else?

So Dimarzio no likey other manufacturers selling mismatched humbuckers,right? NOW listen to this!Single coils of duncan 'buckers with rods or slugs and half width magnets,also each model RWRP version.Now u can match them to your heart's desiresWould this technically work?I know it might not work...

I may dissapoint some duncan fanatics,but since i have these pickups around and being VERY happy with the A2 CC/59 hybrid in my 80's steinberger gr4 i wonder... Pickups are a Dimarzio paf pro(alnico 5,8.30k) and an ibanez f1(don't know magnet,16.30k) Paf pro is balanced favouring just a little...

I have a bolt on mahogany body,maple-ebony 24 3/4"neck guitar.bridge pu is duncan custom.wails more than expected but i can live with that since the overall voicing is pretty good on this instrument. neck is a little 59n which is bassy and no definition in this instrument and too low output...

Ok,i bought it used, it has a custom-custom bridge,and hot rails neck(middle empty).bodywood is mahogany,bolt on maple-ebony neck,it originally had a middle pickup but it was routed for a neck single.Floyd Rose.24 gret,gibson scale. Problems with sound are Bridge is middy only.Sustains...
