Thank you so much brother! Copy and pasted and sent to my tech friend! I'm sure it will be great! Damn, one more question, should I use 550K pots for the neck? Or is that too much?

Awesome! I'd like to get all the soldering done at the same time since that is the only thing I can't do. I was hoping to try using a cap in series on the neck pickup and then messing with the poles on my on time.Duncan's mud mod recommended a .047 cap in series . You recommended a different...

Sorry to bother you again, but I'm going to drop off the guitar at the tech, and want to make sure I have the parts I need and know what to tell him to do. I have a $200 Les Paul Custom clone with crap P90s. Four 500K pots and Two 550K pots. All full sized. Two .047uf caps, Two .022uf caps, and...

I would avoid GFS. They are just selling Artecs with better marketing on their website. These are what I’d get if I was going affordable. No idea why they only have the set in cream. I bet if you messaged him he might have black. Or you could go Ceramic in the bridge and A5 in the neck. Just...

I don’t recommend GFS. They are made by Artec, just with a better website description. An Artec or Guitar Madness (same pickups and GM also sells both on their eBay store) with GFS you are almost paying double because of the shipping they charge. I’m putting P90s currently in a P90 LPC copy. I...

Zero problem. Thank you for responding!

I can’t recommend this pickup enough. It’s a clone of the Pete Townsend pickup. The “Coil Tap” instead of split sounds great. Truly are getting two pickups in one. Great company too...

Thanks again brother for looking out for me! Haha.

Any idea what using 2 A4 magnets instead of the ceramics that are in my pickup would do? Will it be more vintage or is the hot wiring going to defeat the purpose?

Would this be similar at all to the mod of removing one side of the pole pieces? I did it to a cheap humbucker and it did help, although not much could save that pickup and it’s gone on to its great reward. I’ve noticed that removing one side of the pole pieces to the neck pickup is now called...

Oh yes! You did. I’m getting ready to drop the guitar off and for some reason I couldn’t locate your response. I do just want a 3 position circuit with the neck TZ being permanently modded, no push-pulls, etc. So I’m not educated. Just want a simple solution to make the TZ as close to a P90...

That’s exactly what I want it for. I end up rarely actually using the neck in a guitar when playing. I’m always trying to match, but the reality is I don’t use it. So two completely different sounds is perfect. And yeah, it’s for heavy drone doom. I already have a bridge P90 that I’m for sure...

Thank you. People have told me that a TZ will be far too muddy in the neck of a LP. So I’m trying to mod it as I have no other use for it except in the neck. I know it would be easier to use a different pickup, but I’m thinking that since it’s a Dimarzio it’s still a good pickup to use even...

I got a free P90 sized TZ. I’m thinking of trying it in the neck of a LP copy. I have 2 P90 guitars already and want to go with a heavy doom sound that uses vintage amps. What does “half aired” mean in context to the TZ? And would it even work in the P90 version? I’m clueless about this stuff...

Are you talking about this solution? A regular 47nF (.047µ) cap is too high to give a satisfying low cut / hi pass effect. Try 10nF (.01µ) or below. Rickenbacker mounted 4.7nF (0.0047µ) caps for that. Reverend Guitars used/uses 2.2nF (0.0022µ). And again, if you do that, wire the normal low...
