Rewiring an Ibanez QX and the body is so thin and the cavity is shallow. I have tried a few different import switches and they're still too tall. I know Ibanez makes some switches and they are quite expensive. Was hoping to sell the stock switch with the Quantum electronics as it is proprietary...

FYI - Here are the insides of the Lithium and Thorium. I put a A8 in the Thorium and I wonder if the boosters are magnetically interacting differently. Pretty sure I put the magnet north alligned identical to the stock ceramic. I put a UOA5 in the Lithium but wonder if I should have done RCA2...

The Lithium

Need to open up the Lithium but this is the Thorium - all ceramic.

Posted as a response but figured I would try a new thread. Curious if anyone has done any magnet swapping on the Lithium or Thorium as I tend not to dig most passive ceramic pickups.. Swapped an A8 into a Holdsworth bridge but wanting a lil more output. Here are the rainy day options I have...

Interesting HSS set, and I am a huge fan of white and gold. https://www.seymourduncan.com/single...t/lari-basilio "Both single coils feature Alnico 5 magnets under the low strings. Alnico 4 magnets sit under the high strings of the neck pickup, and Alnico 2 magnets are under the high strings...

Was just sorting my part tubs (yes I know I am that ridiculous) and got to my magnet bin and realize I just sort of have them in there...all sticking to each other. Never gave a thought to it before but now am thinking...I am probably screwing them all up....Fortunately many are still in the...

Ended up getting this bridge and neck separately but never ended up using due to having so many Fluence pickups. Asking for 200 for the set shipped in Cont. USA. Will add pics soon and should have new wiring to include with it too. They are reverse zebra

Will need to get some pics of the SH4 and SH6n. All pickups have been taken apart and swapped with various magnets. Will have to double check what magnets are in each but if you have a preference let me know - otherwise I will through the stock ones back. I have two Duncan covers that I can...

I know this could be posted elsewhere but I appreciate the openmindedness and tone chasing of this community. I feel like I missed out on the Evolution in the hayday of my days and now discovering it much later. The bridge is fantastic. Have no experience with the neck or the middle. I...

I am always impressed with how great a tele bridge sounds with the tone pot backed up a bit. They say Jimmy Page's tele sold more LPs than anything. Whenever I tried to go actual metal with a tele, I tried the single coil jr humbuckers and they are decent. In the end, I get a Gotoh humbucker...

Again swapping around pickups because its what I do. I scored a second BB3 and wanted to experiment with it. Putting it my Edwards LP with an Seths Lover in the neck. Putting a SH2 in my Korina V and swapped the Sh2 to a UOA5 after debating about A4 rough and polished. Wish I would have taken a...

I built a Korina V from PGK and it is simply stunning. I ordered their 335 and have that in the mix now too. The V is very resonant and sustains so much...almost acoustic like. I first dropped a set of UA5 Custom (b) /59(n) and wasnt all that satisfied...I think there may have been a wiring...

Been experimenting with various pickups in my PGK Korina V build and went with a trusty 59/Custom set and was surprised how loose and mushy the UA5 Custom sounded in the V (compared to my LP). I typically tune a half or step down and this was in standard tuning. Trying to 'tighten up' the...

I am no brand loyalist, I use products from everyone. Over the years swapping between active/passive, med/hot... (older I get the lower the winds I like....as my amps have so much more gain) The past 8+ years I have been into magnet swapping due the Custom being a favorite pickup and noticing...
