Well, my project is finally done. When I got this SG Jr, the body was pretty sound, all the rest was a nightmare. The person before me install an extra pup in the neck, another volume/tone control, and a 3 way switch. It had mixed matched pots, caps, knobs, and he butchered up the original...

Well, my winter project is finally done. When I got this SG Jr, the body was pretty sound, all the rest was a nightmare. The person before me install an extra pup in the neck, another volume/tone control, and a 3 way switch. It had mixed matched pots, caps, knobs, and he butchered up the...

Just installed new duncan pup's, pots, caps, jack, 3 way switch. I plug it into my amp, and I get a bad humming sound with my controls on 0. Turn the volume up to 10, the hum gets more quiet. Turn the volumes down to 0, the hum gets worst. As I'm getting this hum, if I touch the 3 way switch...

I just installed 2 new duncans in my SG, "59 in the neck, Custom-5 in the bridge. The '59 has a single conductor wire, the C-5 a four conductor wire. I would like to wire these PU's so I can work them both independently in the middle 3 way switch position. I found a diagram in the Everything SG...

I have a Gibson SG with a 3 way switch. I want to replace my old PU's with a '59 for the neck, and a C-5 for the bridge. When I try to order the '59 on-line, it asks me if I want single conductor, or 4 conductor. Which one would I need? The C-5 doesn't ask me any questions, I guess it only comes...

I have a Gibson 69 SG. The person before me replaced the Gibson pick-ups with 2 mixed matched junk PU's. I play rhythm guitar mostly, not alot of leads. I play classic rock, hard rock to heavy metal. I don't play lead, so I wouldn't need alot of super highs. Something with good mids and a good...
