I want to use a Duncan Full Shred SH-10n in the neck, DiMarzio FRED DP153 in the bridge of my Ibanez AS73 (ES-335 style guitar). Do you think they'll balance volume wise? Selling my Epi Les Paul Trad Pro IV, so the Ibanez will be my only Gibson style guitar and I don't want to use PAF type...

Which is brighter? SH-2n Jazz neck or SH-10n Full Shred neck? I want the brighter of those 2 pickups. I have an Ibanez AS73, which is an inexpensive but very cool ES-335 style guitar, except for the pickups...they really suck. I don't want to yank the covers, I want to yank the pickups...I want...

I have an Ibanez AS73 (Gibson ES-335 type guitar) that I inherited when a friend of mine passed away. The guitar is loud and bright acoustically, which is good because I like bright guitar sounds. It plays well. Not an expensive guitar, but it's well made. The pickups are terrible, though. Got...

I need to find Jolly's pickup comparison page. It was very extensive. (Thanks Jolly!) Does anyone here have a link to it? I tried searching but couldn't find it. I remember his demo of the Jazz bridge being awesome, but I want to hear it again because I'm ready to order one.

Black Winter pickups and Blackened Black Winter pickups... how do they differ?

Jazz Bridge model SH-2b. Have you played one? Whaddya think of it? I'd appreciate your opinions. With most guitars with neck humbuckers that I've owned, I put a SH-2n Jazz neck model in the neck slot. Love that pickup. Now I'm thinking of getting a Jazz Bridge SH-2b model. The guitar in...

DiMarzio recently posted "The birth of the Super Distortion" article by Larry DiMarzio on their website. It's a fascinating read. https://www.dimarzio.com/stories/birth-super-distortion

The guitar is an Epiphone Les Paul Traditional Pro IV, Mahogany neck and body, Indian Laurel fretboard, solid maple cap. (Not a veneer.) Brightest neck pickup for a Les Paul? I like neck HB's that are bright with scooped mids and very little bass. I'd appreciate your opinions. Thank you!

78 neck model. Anybody here tried one? What's it like?

I've got a Peavey 5150 combo and I play hard rock and old school early 80's style metal (NWOBHM). I want to replace the speakers in this amp and I'm asking for your suggestions. Thanks!

Hi everyone, What are your impressions of the YJM pickups? Some of those YouTube clips of them sound amazing. What you you like and dislike about them? Also, please mention the styles of music that you play with these pickups and what gear you use. Thank you very much!

WOW. OK, that settles it. I'm going to try both; a Slash bridge and an APH-1b bridge pickup. Guns n Roses Live at the Troubadour 4/1/2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ARjFgSjySA I noticed that the guitars onstage are a Gibson and a Gretsch. That combination drives AC/DC, too.

FRED with A2 in the Bridge? Who's tried it and what were your impressions?
