Hi all, ​​​​​ I just took a plunge and bought a Jupiter bridge humbucker and quickly found it is larger than the norm. So much so it doesn't even ​​​fit into a mounting ring. I've got a few that I've tested e.g. Dimarzio and Bill Lawrence and... neither are suitable. Has anyone here experienced...

Hi all, Quick couple of questions. Hopeful for the answer. What is the correct EMG quick connect tone pot for Seymour Duncan Blackouts. My issue is the tone roll off. It is barely audible. I'm currently using an EMG quick connect tone pot that has a small capacitor on the chip/side of the...

After alot of contemplation, I have decided to make a Reb Beach Suhr inspired guitar. Koa body and Pau Ferro neck and fretboard. Unfortunately I've already hit an obstacle....... Does anyone know where I can source (affordable) Hawaiian Koa large enough for this project? Either as 1 piece or 2...

Goodbye Korean Peavey Wolfgang... Hello Carvin.... You Sexy thing! (For the same price. Can you believe it?)

Hello fellow forumers I am after someone's unwanted quick connect EMG 81 humbucker. I would like to try it out in my EBMM Luke 2. I have no idea what it will sound like. It's a bit of a test as the stock 85 is a little lack luster for me. The reason I'm not going straight to a Blackout is...

For many years I've dreamed about being creative enough to have a unique idea, one that no one has ever had, a true bedroom Einstein. My endevours have failed until now. I am pleased to announce to the best pickup company in the cosmos my name for a neck pickup..... I think I have found my...

Yep... You guessed it... Another Ernie. This one I find on Craigslist for a steal. The seller was amazing, honest and most importantly shipped to me in Australia. All I had to do was sand, oil and wax the neck and set it up. Now it's immaculate. No marks.

My other new toy :-) Thank you eBay

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/accessories/graph-tech-string-saver-classic-floyd-rose-saddles-set-of-6 Hey peeps, Has anyone ever tried these Teflon lubricated saddles? They look cool but may be gimmicky? I'm thinking of adding them to my Peavey Wolfgang Special's Schaller bridge. Any...

1 step closer to my custom built Ibanez Jem DNA model. Pickups only thus far. Its going to be a while. The photo isn't the best. In real life they are perfect. The goal

Hello fellow addicts. I am after some guidance on whether I should lacquer or wax a neck I am getting made. All the guitars I've owned/own have been lacquered and my luthier is influencing me to try a waxed neck. The neck is for an Ibanez Jem inspired monster I am slowly piecing together...

Hello, I am having trouble with an EMG solder-less kit fitted to a Seymour Duncan Blackout. I am literally struggling to hear any tonal difference when I adjust the tone knob. I think this is because the capacitor Seymour Duncan use is a .47 and the capacitor pre-soldered into the EMG tone pot...

Hi all, I was hoping to have a little help regarding Blackouts. I just signed up to your forum today and am a total newbie. I just had the AHB-3's installed in my EVH Peavey and I am in love. They are truly amazing. They were a pain to fit though :-( I previously had a 59 and a Screamin Demon...
