Dimarzio Steve's Special. Its currently wired to a Duncan triple shot for series/parallel/split options on the pickup ring. The pickup is the same price whether you want it or not. I don't need the ring for anything else as I don't use splits and such anyway. $50 shipped

I have quite a few pickups sitting around that I made for doing demos and comparisons with. Now that I've decided which ones I want in my guitars, I still have several left over. These are all hand wound by me. The higher priced ones are posted first. 1) "Full Range Humbucker" neck pickup...

I sell hand made pickups mostly locally, and finally just opened a simple version of a website for it. Check out the site and let me know what you think even if non I have interest you. http://www.silverhandpickups.com/

This is the exact one I bought. An Epiphone Les Paul Standard in Trans Blue Burst. I got it because I need a humbucker equipped guitar to use for testing out new pickup builds. I need my HH Tele for practices and shows constantly, so this way I won't have to worry about if I have time to rip...

I'm currently going through and testing out the differences of magnets on the same pickups with a couple of somewhat PAF style'd pickups I made, and I'm just now for the first time playing on a humbucker with A3 in it. I'd say that its probably my favorite magnet in the neck position humbucker...

Re: Dimazrio Humbucker from Hell vs EJ Custom vs Duncan Jazz I tried both the Jazz and the Humbucker from Hell. Both good pickups, but I wanted something a more conventional humbucker couldn't provide, so I made my own design. Tonally it sounds somewhere between a Start neck pickups and a...

Re: Would this humbucker be too UGLY to put in your guitar? If so, what would fix it Here is a photo with the screws painted black. The holes are still there though. I think I'm gonna try the wood dowel idea today since I can get those in the proper size locally. I'd rather have a nice...

I've been making a bunch of pickup prototypes, and this is my favorite build (I call it a "Full Range Humbucker"). On my main player, I use it with a 3+3 cover over the top so it looks like a Wide Range Humbucker for the most part. My problem is that when I put one in my Strat, I would rather...

My band "The Bight" recorded our first EP and just released it today. I'm pretty proud of it given that it was recorded/mixed/mastered by me, and the guitars were running through pickups made by me, with the exception of one solo on a Duncan Quarter Pounded for Tele and the bass parts were a...

Most of the regulars hear will probably recall me posting some pictures of a "Wide Range Style" pickup that I was working on. They ARE NOT "Wide Range Humbuckers," they just look like them. They're a hum-bucking split coil pickup that uses adjustable A5 rods and a humbucker layout. There are...

First world problems here. I'm running out of guitars to put pickups in. Most my pickups are either a purchased pickup I'm happy with or a pickup I made myself that I'm happy with. The problem is I keep making pickups and wanting to make new ones, but can't use them without replacing...

Re: I made a "wide range" style humbucker...sorta They'll come! I have to finish my bridge pickup first and then pot the two first. Then I'll compare them to some single coils with demos. In the meantime, here's another (low quality) photo of the latest neck model.

I built this today. Not to wide range specs...49mm spacing and wound/constructed to sound more like a strat neck pickup instead of a humbucker. I'm loving how it sounds! Threaded A5 rods 6.2K 2.6H

I'm looking for a SH-3 Stag Mag or "The mag".

Hello. I use mostly single coil or low output humbuckers in the necks of my guitars. I don't use the bridge pickups too often unless I'm going for a very specific and different sound, usually for layering parts. In my next project guitar (telecaster) I'm going to to similar for the neck...
