New to Pots! After assuming I had the right standard Fender Pots (250k Splitshaft) my buddy gave me a set of CTS Brass Short 250k 10% audio taper pots. This whole time I’ve obsessed over pickups. So I don’t go down a rabbit hole of options, what is a good 250k pot to put in all the Fenders I...

Hi, on this next project I’m going black pickups / black pickguard and knobs on a green strat body. Would you go A. Classic Stack set S/S/S B. Classic Stack set on Neck and Middle, Bridge is a JB Jr C. Everything Axe (little 59, Duckbucker, JB Jr.) I am compelled to start with A and then start...

Hi, I’ve played two American Strats ‘94 and ‘99 and was told they were satin necks (please verify) and after years of playing I’ve given them a light gloss from the use. Would I want to order a new satin neck, play it a lot and possibly have my luthier put a light gloss on…..or just go with a...

Hi, after looking at specs it seems that both pickups are ceramic and have a similar EQ pattern. I’ve seen the Invader / Strat connection mostly as the Blink 182 guitar. So is the Hot Rails similar? Thanks!

Hi, if you have to recommend one version of the single to go with in all three S/S/S spots of the Strat. What would you choose and why? Originally I was going to go with the Classic Stack set to be safe, but would you not go with these with experience? Thanks!

Hi! I have 4 Humbuckers I’m putting into Strats. Let me know what order/orders you guys would choose! 1. Zebra Jazz Neck / Black JB Bridge. I know that the JB is a 250 or 500k, but with the Jazz would that sway your choice? 2. Black Gibson Neck (unknown, was in an SG) / Black Invader Bridge...

A friend had a bunch of pickups built for him from the custom shop and he gifted me one for a guitar. What would be the most ideal scenario for a JB w/ this output. Would this work well at 250k where maybe the person who wanted a little more out of that K? What application would you use a JB...

Hi, have to pick one of these boards that are similar - If you could only have one…would you go board A (GE7 EQ) or board B (Micro Amp) and why? Thanks guys!

Two Strat Questions here, thank you! 1. Can someone direct me to a link where you would put the bass and treble side (measurements) on an Everything Axe set strat - (Little’59 neck, Duckbucker middle…but with a Hot Rails bridge, not a Jr JB) 2. I’m really digging this set up and am thinking...

Just seeing what other people have. Some of these I’m looking for the same pickup, just another color too! Here’s what I have to trade colors Jazz (Neck) - zebra Invader (Bridge) - all black JB (Bridge) - bridge Custom (Bridge) - red (it was a special order) also, 1 Gibson (neck) that came off...

Looking forward to building an SSS with a Hot Rail Bridge and standard single style neck and middle Strat. Honestly I really dig the Factory Set in my 1999 American strat, what neck and middle would somewhat be around that sound (no hum preferred) Thanks!

Hi, a little confused on the “Everything Axe” having the Rwrp option. Recently I bought all these pickups individually not in the set and was curious if I needed a mod to be done on the Duckbucker middle now for these all to function their best. Should these all had been bought as a set? My...

Hi, as I’m about to purchase another “Everything Axe” setup (Lil59, Duckbucker, JB Jr) for one of my Strats, I’m curious if anyone prefers the Hot Rails in the bridge vs the Jr JB it comes with? Is the Jr JB voiced better with these other two? Much appreciation on all the responses to my Strat...

Hi, this has been super helpful and was curious if there was a link to the wiring diagram for a Lil 59 (neck) Duckbucker (middle) and full-size humbucker (bridge) going into just 1 volume and 1 tone knob strat at 250k. Thanks so much, the Duckbucker is going to replace in the middle position...
