Selling One Seymour Duncan Full Shred Bridge SH-10 Used in a Les Paul for awhile, but has been sitting in a box for the last year. Condition is excellent. Specs: - Black with Logo - 4 conductor. - 12” of lead. - Std spacing. - Never modded in any way. - Includes springs and screws in original...

As much as I love a regular Custom, I'm finding the highs just a little harsh with the ceramic mag. My favorite humbucker for awhile now has been a BroBucker in a Les Paul. I have a UOA5 and an A8 mag in front of me. The A8 seems like it might be a little much with the Custom wind, but the...

Just searched a ton of threads on the SH-6b Distortion and the SH-5b Custom. Lots of good info, but still not sure. I'm building a Warmoth Les Paul for tuning in C standard. The body is all mahogany with a rosewood neck and fingerboard. Scale length is strat scale 25 1/2" to help with the...

Looking to setup an Alder Flying V in C tuning for a metal project. The guitar isn't very big sounding and isn't very tight. For a V, it has a resonant, acoustic quality. Great guitar for blues, but I would like to use it for the brutal stuff, as it looks so cool. :cool2: I've tried a few...

Ok, I'm preaching to the choir on this one, but what the heck. While I typically like the Custom Custom in bright Strat type guitars, I never really cared for it in most Les Pauls. Les Pauls usually have a big, thick midrange to them. Something the CC doesn't need. Well, enter a 1995 Les Paul...

Every Duncan I've seen has been potted with wax. Someone on another forum seems to have a pic of a stock Duncan potted in epoxy? http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/pickups/25170-check-out-sds-new-potting-method.html

I've just researched a few dozen posts on both these pickups. Specs on both are very similar. They appear to be the typical 'Custom' wind. I'm probably going with one of these for the bridge position in a Randy type offset V (Carvin). Guitar is a maple neck through with ebony board and Kahler...

I've had several Air Zones in various Les Pauls. They sound good in brighter pauls, as they have slightly rolled off highs, and very big lows (though not the tightest). I've also tried Custom Customs and a Custom 5 (Just did a magnet swap). The CC is very smooth, but I need a tighter pickup...

Hey Everyone, I bought two Crazy 8's when these came out. One of them (regular spaced) has been in a Les Paul.... where it will never leave, sounds killer. The other one (wide spaced) has never been installed. I was thinking about putting together a super-strat. Well the strat isn't going to...

My Gibson Les Paul Elegant has had a set of 59's in it for the last 6 months. Guitar sounds really good with this combo, probably due to the Elegant having some nice midrange qualities (not always common in a chambered guitar). Of course, I couldn't leave well enough alone, :smokin: Already...

Has anyone compared these two pickups in the same guitar? I actually like the Air Zone quite a bit, and would be curious how it compares to the Super Distortion. Their specs seem pretty similar on the DiMarzio website, though the SD has more output. (I have an old Super D thats been hanging...

Been comparing various pickups and have found that I REALLY LIKE the Gibson Burstbucker #2 in the bridge of a Les Paul. (So what else is new. Gibson already knows this). I believe the specs of the BB2 are: - A2 Mag - Potted (as this came stock in a Gibson Historic). - Mistmatched Coils? -...

Been swapping out a bunch of pickups in various guitars (This place tends to make me do this :) ) I have an old Custom (Mid 80's ? ) that I'm about to install. Quick check with a multimeter was not promising. Here are my readings. Pickup is set for humbucking operation. White and Red wires are...

This might be a stupid question, but I'm curious if I can wax a pickup while leaving the cover on? The pickup in question is a Musician's Friend Seth Lover Bridge/50 Anniversary model (Alnico 5 mags. See my avatar). I like the sound of the pickup, output measures 8.71k so it has enough oomph...

I currently have a JB in a guitar that is a little bright sounding to begin with. I'm thinking of dumping the JB in favor of a Custom Custom (to warm it up), but am not sure about the bass response. The JB seems to have a harsh mid spike, and an undefined bass, though I do atleast hear some...
