Recently I got a Squier Jazzmaster and am planing on replacing the electronics and pickups to Antiquities as well as shielding the entire cavity. I really like to keep the Rhythm circuit as well and add a treble bleed mod. A few days ago I learned about the Free-Way 3X3-05 6 position toggle...

Hi, I’m looking for a replacement for the neck pickup of a Kurt Cobain mustang and was wondering how are these two pickups different in sound. Which would be brighter, darker, etc? Both use Alnico 5, Antiquity Mustang (6.6 DCR) and Surfer (6.5 DCR), and Mustang has flat poleoieces. How would...

Hi, I have a KC Mustang epithet a JB in the bridge and love the humbucker. However, I am not loving the neck so much. I have been looking at some of the stack pickups as they don't have any hum. I have used the Classic Stack Plus on a HSS strat along with a JB in the bridge and that worked...

Hi guys, I have a two humbucker tele with a 3-way switch, a regular volume pot and a push/pull pot (that when pulled, both humbuckers turn into single coil mode). It has an unbranded neck pickup and an SD JB in the bridge. The JB has the Green and Bare soldered to ground, Red and White to the...

Hi, I just got a Kurt Cobain Mustang and like it a lot! It plays very solid and the pickups sound very nice, specially the JB. The neck will probably be replaced with either an Antiquity/Novak or a Seymour Duncan Classic Stack Plus. However, that will be later. For now I want to modify the two...

Hi, I am looking for these pickups and am willing to pay as much as $115 for each. Thanks!

I have a Boss DS-1 in very good shape that was modded by John a few years ago. It is a great pedal and John’s mod made it more usable. It has more gain and the Tone knob is usable through most of the range. Let me know if you have any questions. Asking $50 Thanks, Jon

Hi, i have looked online about the Taylor pickups for electric guitars, specifically, the High Definition (HD), and haven’t found much information. All i know is that the neck pickup is 4K and bridge 5K. So i turn to all the experts and tone connoisseurs in this forum for help. Does anyone...

Hi, I have searched on google and on several forums to answer this questions and I am still confused. Most of the comparisons that i have read deal mainly with the difference in design and schematics; I am more interested in their difference tonewise. I currently have a 5F1A with a 12' speaker...

Has anyone attempted to replace the pots and caps on the actual pcb? This is how mine looks and i was wondering if it is worth a try to desolder the pots and caps and put new ones. I am afraid though that this might prove trickier. Any ideas? thanks, Jon

Hi, I am doing a rewire of a Les Paul Classic and am having problems. I first took a picture of the original wiring and followed it. However, it did not work. Then i dismounted everything and put it all back and am still having problems. The output wire was connected and grounded to the center...

I have been playing a Gibson Les Paul Vintage Mahogany (all Mahogany) and love the action, feel and the sound when it is unplugged. I have gone through several pickups and have loved none in this guitar. Custom 5 and pearly gates in the bridge and jazz in the neck. I would like the sound to be...

I just changed the bridge pickup on my VM Les Paul and i am very pleased. I used to have a custom on there and was never happy with it. I think it had too much output for my taste. On the bridge i have a jazz and i liked it. However, i want to put in a 500k pot on the neck to get a bit more...
