Does anyone know what color bobbins are typcally found under the cover of a DiMarzio pickup? For all the DiMarzios I've owned, I've never had one that was covered.

Has anyone bought magnets from this seller? I couldn't find them in a search on the forums. I copied this from an ebay listing: erickmagnaholder (2096) 100% positive feedback They seem to have a great selection, and obviously a lot of good feedback. I've been buying mags from Philadelphia...

I'm back to experimenting with my R7, which might one day have permanent pickups installed - haha! :rolleyes: I'm hoping some of you can save my soldering iron some wear and tear. A Jazz N in the neck position is perfect. The bridge has been a never-ending quest, with virtually all of the 50+...

I've had two pairs of older, US-made Tom Holmes humbuckers; I still have one. I played a Historic Les Paul which, unbeknownst to me, had the stock pups prelaced with a pair of Holmes'. I could not believe the tone of this guitar; it was otherworldly. Long story short ... I bought the guitar...

I have a Duncan Jazz neck that measures 7.03K ohms. The published spec on that pup is 7.72K. Anyone else found a stock Duncan that far off spec? My DVDM is fine. It measures other Duncans within a few % of spec. And the Jazz sounds great in a Les Paul where I just installed it. From the sound...

Looking for a Duncan Jazz Bridge, SH-2B. The pup will be used exposed-coil in a Les Paul R7, so I strongly prefer black/black with no current/removed logo. But I'll take what I can get. :scratchch I can pay immediately via PayPal. Also have many Duncan and DiMarzio pickups to trade, either...

If there are existing thread about this, please point me there; I can't find any. In short, here's my question: If BB1+A5 = (basically) BB Pro 1 and BB2+A5 = (basically) BB Pro 2 .... What does BB3+A5 sound like? I have a LP R7, extremely resonant. Jazz Neck in the neck position is fat...

I've been all over the forums here and can't find an answer: where does one go to compare specs, model numbers, etc. for the Alnico II Pro humbucker, the "Slash Set", and the "Slash Signature" models? ON the SD Products web pages, the "Slash Set" is described as basically A2P pups but with...

I searched loads of threads here; lots of great stuff but couldn't quite find the answer to this one. The guitar is a Les Paul Elegant - tonewise, it's basically an LP Standard with chambered body and ebony fretboard. The neck pup is a stock Seth neck, 7.38K. It sounds perfect: fat, warm...

I'm fighting with a nice darkburst R8, trying to turn it into an all-Allman tone machine. A WCR Shredder has turned the bridge into 100% Duane's World. Now for the neck ... I'm trying to nail a smooth, fat Duane tone like his studio solos on "Blue Sky", without buying a new pickup (since I...

This post is the result of a desire to buld a reverse-zebra Seth Lover. I have a couple of cream/cream Lover necks, and a black/black Lover bridge. So the Frankensteinian experiment I'm pondering would result in a neck/bridge zebra and a bridge/neck reverse-zebra. For even further intrigue, I...

I need a Duncan Jazz neck in zebra, reverse zebra, or double-cream. Either covered or uuncovered is fine. Cash or trade - either is OK. Have many pups to trade including '59, PG, Custom, JB, and others. Some are black, some zebra. Also a lot of DiMarzios in various colors, from really old...

Need some Shredders! Any color shceme is OK. Have following I can trade: - FIllmore zebra neck & bridge - Fillmore black neck & bridge - Duncan Custom black - Duncan JB black - Duncan '59 black bridge - Various DiMarzios (including pre-103 PAF's in double cream) - Some other pups, ask if you...

Anyone done a direct comparison of an A2 '59 vs. a stock Seth Lover? Lots of scattered comments about this in the Forum, but no dedicated thread that I can find. I'm very curious about how close these are to each other. (And, by association, how close the A2 59 is to an Antiquity). I plan...
