    Does Duncan make an A2Pro with hex screws? Charvel content.

    Hey Everyone, I played a Charvel DK 24 HH Hardtail today, in satin black. It has two humbuckers, and both have 2 black bobbins with chrome hex screws. I told the store manager how much I liked it and commented that it must have a Full Shred set. He looked the guitar model up, and the website...

    Finally tamed the Godin Icon! With the help of Mincer, forumites, and ArtieToo.

    This guy has been a challenge. Ebony fingerboard, mahogany neck and chambered mahogany body. Came with Godin neck pickup which was very muffled and muddy with Duncan 59 bridge, which was shrill. Went with a WLH set. Bridge still too bright and neck too dark. Played with it for 2-3 years...

    Duncan Website sound samples missing and emails that connect to nowhere.

    I've gotten several emails about Duncan pickups and switching diagrams that go to seymourduncan.contraport.com. My browser never connects, and I've tried two different browsers. Also, most of the pickup pages on the website have sound samples without the ability to select the bridge pickup...

    Which has more bite in the neck: APH-1, APH-2 (Slash), or 59 with A2 magnet?

    Looking for versatile neck pickup possessing bite with gain in a Les Paul guitar. Always find that neck pickups are on the muddy/mushy side. Heard that the A2Pro (APH-1) is on the dark, perhaps buttery side, so I fear mud/mush with it. I read that the APH-2 Slash has more bite, but also read...

    APH-1 in neck good match for WLH in Bridge?

    Guitar is Godin Icon, 24.5 scale, mahogany with ebony fretboard, giving guitar lots of high end, more than I like. Has WLH set. While before I was going to change the bridge out, I've decided I like it. Neck, however, sounds congested with gain. APH-1n was recommended for neck before in...

    Misalignment of pole pieces causing high-E string dropout

    Hi all, I have a Cort G290, early 2000s. Plays great with the fret level and dress it had. Because the pickups were not great before, I wasn't playing it as much until the last year. Changing the pickups to a 59B and two STK-S4s drastically improved the tone, since this guitar is for some...

    Something less bright and stronger than 59 Bridge in HSS Strat

    I have a great superstrat guitar with a 59 bridge and two STL-S1s in the neck and middle. It’s a very good combination in this guitar. I would like the bridge humbucker to have a little more “oomph” and a little less high end. And I only made a little. I do not want and incredibly...

    Putting bridge HB in parallel with mid single for position 2 with 5-way import switch

    Hi guys, I have a duckbucker that I want to run in the middle position of an HSS strat with a full size humbucker. The guitar has a 5-way import switch. When I select position 2, to get a better quack, I would like the bridge to be in parallel. If I split it with the duckbucker, there will be...
