Please correct me where I'm wrong. One of the reasons one lowers a pickup with an A5 magnet in it is to mimic say, that of a pickup with an A2 in it. As an A8 magnet is so strong, it can't be raised as high as one could 'normally' do with that of an A5. So, if this is true, than the change...

I’m looking to buy or ideally trade for a set of OEM MIM Fender Strat/Tele machine heads, the type with the two prongs. If anyone has a set in good shape, please let me know. TIA

Does anyone have a couple of "bottom feeder" Strat pickups they'd want to let go of cheap? You know, the type with a bar magnet glued to the bottom. I could trade some parts for them too like knobs or something.

I have a 3 way rotary switch from a Squier 51 Vintage Modified Strat. I was wondering if it was possible to wire my CC to it so that I can get the three variations (series/single/parallel) of the pickup like with a DPDT on/on/on switch. And if it can be done, would you please diagram it for me...

I have a black X2N with a long lead and in great condition. It is WAY over the top for me. I'd like to trade it for a 'tamer' F or Trem spaced DiMarzio or Duncan pickup with alnico magnet. Your pickup has to be in great condition too, never tampered with and must be black or white. I'm open to...

Both have LONG leads, are black and in outstanding condition. $50 each or will trade one on one for certain Dogear P-90s, DiMarzio Virtual Vintage Area models and/or a Duncan Pearly Gates pickup. Any of which should untampered with and in excellent condition. ConUS only!

Black, mint condition with full length leads. This pickup is way over the top for this old geezer! I’d like to trade it for any of the following: VV Area 54 Pro, 58, 61, 67, Cruiser (neck or bridge model) or Fast Track 1. I’ll also consider other DiMarzios or Duncans including full sized...

I have a project I'm trying to complete with a 3 Dimarzio HB Ibanez. My aim is to have 3 mini-switches only where each switch will turn the respective pickup on in normal series, parallel and off. Can anyone enlighten me as to what kind of mini-switch I will need and how to wire it? Thanks in...

I have this Fender Custom Shop Designed neck plate in outstanding condition: http://i1037.photobucket.com/albums/a451/BigRoyBoy/FenderCustomNeckPlate_zps2f404f0f.jpg These are now going in some circles for as much as $80 due to increasing collectability. I’m looking for a vintage vein...

This is a neck model which still looks like new. I don’t know what color the bobbins are and I’ll leave that to the new owner to discover. $49 includes shipping anywhere within the Continental US (which is ONLY where I buy/sell/trade). Postal MO or cash only. NO PayPal!

I have a nickel covered Seymour Duncan Jazz (neck model) HB which still looks like new. I don’t know what color the bobbins are and I’ll leave that to the new owner to discover. I’d like to trade it even-up for a DiMarzio Area 61 or Injector Bridge model Strat pickup with OEM long leads. Or...

This is a screw coil from a Distortion bridge model. It is a red bobbin with SD logo. $20 shipped, ConUS only.
