    Humbuckers for Eastman T486B (ES-335 clone)

    I've been fancying an ES-335 for a while and these Eastman guitars look great for the price. I personally love Bigsbys, so I'm about to pull the trigger on the T486B model. The problem is that, unlike the regular model, it doesn't have the 59/Jazz combo, but instead, the Phat Cat set. I love...

    Alnico 5 in a SH-6N??

    Last night, I experimented with my Telecaster's Duncan Custom TB-5. I was never convinced by the tone it gave me (I'm more of a JB and P90 man). I tried the Custom 5 configuration, which was nice... but the Custom 8 ended up being my favorite. Instant Queens of the Stone Age tone! The neck...

    Apparently I bought an older Dimarzio DP103 model

    I thought I bought a used 36th anniversary off Ebay, but apparently, I got an older DP103 model simply called PAF, which is quite a bit different. No air technology in this one. I e-mailed Dimarzio and they told me the that if the base plate is brass, it’s an older model PAF. Here's a picture...

    Alnico 8 in P90

    My main guitar has a pair of Kent Armstrong P90s custom made by the man himself. They're both identical, except for the magnets (neck has Alnico Vs and bridge has Ceramics). I know he used 42 AWG Magnet Wire (he mentions it's 0.063 mm) and the DCR is arround 10K (my multimeter measures arround...

    Neck Companion for Dimarzio Air Norton

    Since I upgraded my Sheraton II with an Air Norton in the bridge, it has become one of my favourite pickups ever. I freakin' love it's open sound and bright tone. I didn't think much of it when it was in the neck position of my telecaster, it was a bit dark and maybe... a bit too pretty...

    Looking for a single gold Grover tuner for D string on Epiphone Sheraton.

    Re: Looking for a single gold Grover tuner for D string on Epiphone Sheraton. This is what they look like. I already contacted Grover, they told me WD Music sells singles. I will buy it this week.

    Looking for a single gold Grover tuner for D string on Epiphone Sheraton.

    They seem to only sell whole sets. I only need one for the D string (Bass side). Does anybody have a spare one I could buy?

    Regular Spaced Air Norton or Duncan TB-5 for Epiphone Sheraton II

    Hi, Thank you for validating my account! My name is Kevin. Anyway, I recently bought a used Epiphone Sheraton II from a Jazz player. He told me he installed a Kent Amstrong PAF style humbucker in the neck (he's not sure if it's the 6 shooter model or the vintage 57, though). I haven't opened...
