Hey everyone, it's been a while since I sought advice on here... So I was thinking of dropping in an A2P in the neck of my SG. Since I'm recently obsessed with the Slash tone and I know he uses them I thought I might try one out. What I would like to know before I buy one is if it will give me a...

Hi - I was wondering what pup would go good with my 59 bridge. I was thinking maybe an Alnico II Pro for a more vintage bluesier type sound. Would the A2 mag mix well when used with the A5 of the 59? Has anyone had experience with an APH-1 in the neck of an SG? How does it sound all on its...

Hey - I've got a Duncan '59b and I want to get a Gibson nickel cover for it...would it fit, providing it's normal spacing? or do i have to get an SD cover (which I seem to have trouble finding). Thanks!

Hi - I'm planning on installing a 59b in my SG and want to put a nickel cover on it. Besides cosmetics, what does it do to your sound? I've heard somewhere that it can change the output slightly or alter frequency somehow? After all that...where can i get one? Should any local gear shop have...

Hey, I've been pokin' around and i think it was Lewguitar that said the C5 works well in guitars like SG's. It has 14.4k DC resistance according to the Tonechart. Obviously more than the 59, but equal to a Custom Custom and a little more than the Custom. However on the pickup description page...

For anyone that can help me with this; I have a Tokai SG copy with an all mahogany body & neck w/rosewood board. I find that the stock pickups lack warmth/depth/clarity (too muddy). I'm going for a pickup that'll capture that scorching Angus Young lead tone but also be able to handle mondo gain...

I'm in the middle of adjusting my Strat's floating bridge to be rigid so it won't cause tuning problems and pitch fluctuations. When I opened up the back cover I noticed that the trem claw is slanted downward to the left. Does any one think this is normal? Since I want to tighten it anyway...

Hi - i was wondering before putting on some new strings...how does it work with the gauge of the strings in relation to action height? If u were to put heavier strings can u go lower or higher w/out buzz?

I got a new standard Strat and i like it, it's just sometimes i can't stand when i'm picking out a fast solo and as my hand is resting on the bridge it makes the pitch of the notes go up slightly. This can be fu(kin annoying at times. Does anybody have any suggestions that will correct the pitch...

:smoker: Thinkin about putting a lil '59 in my Strat bridge. I play 70's hard-rock music, would this be a good choice? :feedback:

What is your favorite bridge humbucker for a strat you own or have heard? And what genre(s) of music do u play? - Hot Rails - JB Jr. - L'il '59 - other

Hey - i'm getting a strat soon and debating in my head whether it's a good idea to go with a JB jr or a lil 59 in the bridge position . Based on my axe specs the Tone Wizard told me to go with a JBjr. Although i took a peak at the tone chart and saw it has a lot of high frequencies but more...

Hey to all toneologists whom I :notworthy to. I'm tryin' to find a good rhythm matchup that'd go good with a L'il 59 for a Tele. I'm considering a Hot Rhythm, 1/4 pound rhythm, or Vintage Rhythm Stack. Which do you think would work best on its own and simultaneously with the 59? I play blues...

If anyone has a L'il '59 in their Tele could they tell me how it performs and what amount of gain or what amp it works best with :question: and would a pot switch be necessary? Also, for a future mod what would be a good neck pup compliment?

I have a vox ad30vt hybrid amp (12ax7 tube used as power amp), i was wondering if anyone knew what kind of tube it comes with stock and if there is a better sounding replacement tube? Thanks!
