A guy won them in a Seymour D conference, they told him they were hand wound by MJ. They came in a transparent box, no signature, they say SSL-1 and the only difference I see is that the wires come out at the ends instead of the middle. The dude is a bass player and wants to sell them but...

This pup comes in a guitar called Majestic, owner claims its 25 years old. Here is the guitar: I opened the pup, it's thinner than an ordinary pickup and sits fully on the outside of the pick-guard. I saw that it is one coil with two magnets, one on each side. Its too small for a P90 and too...

Recorded a video during a rehearsal, vocals were added later, any comments from metal heads would be appreciated! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PWAWs5JRoXI&feature=relmfu

These are the originals, they have gone horribly microphonic. The sane way of fixing em would be to wax pot them, but this would be too easy. I want outta phase, series-parallel, tapping possibilities and these pups only have ground and hot outputs. So first I decided to give them a four wire...

A dude won it at a Seymour Duncan show, in a box that says 59. The posts for the mounting screws are long as a SD 59, but it has two lines of screws and no slugs. The back plate does not say Seymour Duncan.

How many options do you think are possible when you use as many pots, switches, etc etc, as you can fit in a single guitar? First make a guess and post it on this thread, then be surprised. I thought there were only 6 wiring possibilities and then maybe a Varitone and a booster. I was waaay of...

A dude I know built an SG body with acrylic, using an Epi neck, and wants some buckers to sound like "Guns & Roses". I said that acrylic probably sounds dull compared to wood so he should use a bright pup set such as JBb-JazzModeln. But I aint sure since I have never used an acrylic guitar...

Reading one of Buks poems, and trying out some pups on a Joe Perry LP, I wasn't convinced so I took them out too (the original Burstbuckers had been a huge disappointment). Skip to minute 4:22 to hear the 5 ax solos: 1-Slide, 2-Clean, 3-Overdriven, 4-Distorted, 5-Skat. Used a Garageband loop...

Just curious, since this is a passive-active hybrid I'm kinda wondering what passive pups are these? Sounds interesting since we can swap the mags, hehe.

Thanx Kojak! I followed your advice and tried the A8-A4 combo. I just swapped the mags on an Ibanez RG which had infinity pickups, I pulled out the ceramic and A5 and put in an A8 & A4, great combo. Lt Kojack is always right, except when he´s wrong! The infinity bridge pup is supposed to have...

I really want to know some things about magnets in order to choose the correct one when wanting to fix a Humbucker. I understand the following, but have plenty of questions, please illustrate and correct us ax wielders! Degrees of power: A2, A3, A3, A4, A5, UOA5? Ceramic =A8? Alnico 8 sound...

Today I installed two sets, one was a Hot rodded Humbucker SH4 (JB)and SH2 (Jaz Model) set on an Epi LP and the other was an SH4 (JB) Bridge & SH1 (59) Neck on a seven string Dean Razorback. The Jazz Model is much brighter than the 59, and is definitely a better set with the JB for playing...

Hi, I´m new in this forum. I just bought a Jimi Page SD Custom shop set, wound by MJ, and I´m wondering what gauge was used for the wiring, 42, 43 or 44? I can’t find any info on the net so I would really appreciate it if you guys let me know. The specs written on the box are: Magnets; Alnico V...
