Where can output numbers be found? Never seen them and not sure how they could consistently be measured.

Seth Lover and Physicists say that the string being magnetized is what creates the field that generates AC signals in the coil.

Perception shift for me. Thought the pickup created a magnetic field and the vibrating strings movement within that field created the AC signal in the coils. That is wrong, the magnet magnetizes the string which becomes the magnetic field itself that generates the AC signal in the coils. The...

Been playing Squier tele loaded with antiquity II tele bridge, SSL-1 neck, replaced control plate with new pots and a 5 way switch. Wired using Bill Lawrence (Wylde) 5-Way Wiring. After several years of playing EBMM Silhouette almost exclusively haven’t touched it in 10 days as this Telecaster...

The Tweedle Dee mod was intended for the 5E3 Deluxe. In that amp it makes sense. IMO what you did to the 5F1 was a 30% Tweedle Dee mod that makes very little difference. But if you hear it and like what you did, great, enjoy the sound.

Hendrix, Clapton, Beck and Page set the stage. Van Halen took from there...IMO it's about artist's not gear.

Squier tele loaded with antiquity II tele bridge, SSL-1 neck, replaced control plate with new pots and a 5 way switch. Wired using Bill Lawrence (Wylde) 5-Way Wiring. The thing sounds great, light weight and thinner body makes it fun occasional option for my EBMM Silhouette. Negative is it...

Boots and hat man, that’s the ticket to SRV….

Well, it worked and I feel really stupid! Thought that the recommended pickup height was some kinda law of nature. Thank you again.

I will give it a try, thanks.

Have a G&L ASAT Deluxe with P-Rail neck and 59 bridge. The P-Rail is much louder than the 59 in middle position. Would like to be able to get more balanced volume between them without drilling any holes in the guitar. Wondering if a blender pot instead of 3 way switch would be the best...

I already have an SSL-1, if that doesn’t do the trick will probably go for the antiquity II Tele neck pup.

Antiquity II bridge pup on order, the neck may go for SSL-1 just because I really, really like as a neck pup.

According to Grok I am wrong: " The Fender Telecaster bridge pickup underwent several evolutionary changes from the 1950s into the mid-1960s (roughly 1950–1965), though the core design remained a single-coil with six Alnico rod magnets, fiber flatwork, and no adjustable poles (except for stagger...
