Hello all, I am in the middle of a Dave Gilmour black Strat build. I am installing A Fat 50s, Custom Shop 69 and a Duncan SSL 5. My question is, do I need to reverse any wires so there is no phase issues with the pickups? I think I read somewhere about phase issues between Fender and SD pickups...

Hello all, I read somewhere awhile back that there is an issue with the wiring when using Fender single coils and SD humbuckers in an HSS config. i.e an out of phase problem perhaps?

Hello all, Just bought a shiny new Jason Becker signature Perpetual Burn pup. Not fully sure what my planned new Warmoth build is going to involve yet but it will be an H-H pup setup. Which neck bucker should I pair the perpetual burn with? Body will probably be Swamp Ash. I play metal and prog...

Hello all, Just received my new set of Blackouts in amazing black chrome finish through the mail! Have read it is perfectly okay to unplug my EMGs and plug in the Blackouts straight into the quik connectors. Only thing is i notice there is no ground to bridge on the EMG wiring inside the control...

Hi folks, Just laid my hands on a Jackson JS30dkt, for a cheaper guitar it feels really solid and seems to sit really well with me - only thing is I want to swap out the stock passives for a decent SD set! My playing style leans mostly to classic/hard rock but I like a nice clean edge for...
