I have a Les Paul style guitar, no trem. I assume the pickups in the guitar are standard sized. I notice that the low-E goes right over the pole piece. However, the high-E is on the outside-edge of the corresponding pole piece. I’m going to be getting new PUs for it and was curious: 1)...

These are all set neck mahogany guitars with ebony fretboards. One ESP is going to get the new DiMarzio Satchur8 with a PafPro (or LiquidFire). Figuring I would use that more as my metal and heavier rock stuff. One I’m wanting to go with Duncan’s. I cannot get the SH-11 CustomCustom out of...

So, I have a well made (IMO) Japanese S-series guitar from way back. It's my go-to axe and it has a Fred and a PAF Joe in it. Love it, just would like a hint more beef or bigness to the sound if that makes sense. But, that's nit-pick. I was thinking of popping in a Norton and PAF Pro in...

Thanks!!

I have mostly played Line6 amps my whole guitar playing life. I got a traditional amp about two years ago and I’ve been building up my pedalboard to a point I’m pretty darn happy. However. I’m ready to upgrade my amp and I’d like a lower wattage (but for Rock/Metal) I’d really like to be...

First, guitar of discussion is a Gibson a Flying V. All Mahogany with a Bound white polymer baked maple fingerboard. This guitar comes with Gibson's Burstbucker 1&2. I can't for the life of me get any fire outta these despite some tweaking with height. It may be a bum guitar or probably just...

I've got two guitars. One of them seems to respond and sound much better than the other. is it in my head? There *should* be a quality difference between the two but would I be better suited to adjust a classic '59/JB combo in one? I play heavier rock to occasional 'old' metal. The ESP...

Ibanez Saber (pre-S series) guitar with Seymour Duncan pickups and a hard-shell case for $325. I traded for this used, so I don’t know much about this guitar. I will provide additional pictures if requested. The guitar is used, but not abused. I had a recent setup performed and was gigging...

So, I’ve got a stock of pickups building up. They are not much, but figured I try to get a little something for them. Maybe somebody can use them out there? 1) 3 pickups from an early 90s Ibanez s540. H-S-S. The Humbucker is an IBZUSAF2, the single coils are simply labeled IBZUSA. 2) 2...

$250 shipped anywhere in the USA. Was in a fender, sold the fender, now selling the pickups. Perfectly working shape. Pictures on request via email. Thanks!

I want a chrome set of pickups for my new JEM BRMR. I see that Dimarzio is offering a chrome top option for humbuckers.... what would you all recommend for a single coil to put in between them? Dimarzio doesn't seem to be offering a chrome top option in single-coils.

I just put a JB and ALinco II in my PRS SE. The Bridge seems to be working alright but I get no sound out of the neck. SO.... a couple questions: 1) The neck pickup wire was not long enough, so I took another wire and soldered it as an extension... is this no good? What should I do to...

I'm really a Humbucker person, all around, but I have a H-S-S Ibanez S-Series guitar. I was going to upgrade the single coils when I replaced the Humbucker. In the Duncan camp, I'm eyeing a JB Jr... anything else to consider? In the Dimarzio camp, I'm eyeing a HS-3 or Fast Track II. What...

New Duncan PUs in my guitar. For some reason I wasn't digging the Duncans that were in there. http://www.brianmooreguitars.com/i2000/i2000Models.asp?guitar=iGuitar9.13 Before it had (Bridge, Middle, Neck) a JB,Stock Middle, and AlincoII. Now, it has a Screamin' Demon, JB Jr. and Full...

I have a 2000 S-series guitar with QMP1 and QMP2 pickups in it. Is there any way to figure out what those pickups are similar to? I really like the sound, but want something *slightly* different. I wish I knew where I was on the map though with these....as a starting point. High/Low Output...
