I have a few of my first prototype run of patented Global Tuners for sale @65.00 -- brass bases for OFR and steel base for Schaller in 32/33mm and 37/38mm sizes -- easy upgrade, drop in fit, etc. ... louder, more dynamic and more sustain/umph... These are hand made with slight markings -- the...

I have been using the C8 in my Gibson SG w/ a factory floyd with 50's wiring so I can back off the volume to clean up, etc. -- lot's of interesting tonal possibilities just in adjusting height and screw positions -- there's a single coil in the fingerboard position as a well as a coil tap...

I have a guitar w/a Floyd, mahogany body, maple neck, 2-octave 25.5" scale ebony board -- the Custom 8 has been working the best of anything so far but I usually ride the volume about 3.5 for the touch sensitive edge of breakup. When I read about the new PB -- I had to wonder if this pup...

I have a Custom 8 in the bridge position and single coil STK-S6 in the neck on a SG-like mahogany body, set maple neck w/ 25.5 board and floyd. 50's wiring with 500k Volume and 500k Tone (incl push-pull coil split on the HB) and a.022 cap -- I use a EB volume pedal for a different effect when...

I have an SG-style, mahogany body and 24 fret mahogany neck (ebony fret board / 25.5" scale neck) with one bridge HB -- the plain strings sing nicely, but the wound strings seem a little "wooly" or lacking piano like detail -- would the IM1 be preferable over the Custom 8 -- I play fusion, jazz...

When the Super Distortion was first introduced it was pretty popular since, in lay terms, it had a higher output that could hit the front end of the amp which at the time did not yet really have a developed high gain/master volume feature in order to get more sustain and harmonics, etc. Since...

Just wondering if anyone has compared the split coil to the parallel of the Custom 8 and could provide their impressions?

There is a diagram on the SD website for this (http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=1h_1v_1t_sp) -- can anyone explain how to modify this for a "50's Wiring".

So that's the main question -- how would the Custom 8 compare to a Hybrid in Gibson SG (90 Double) w/ an ebony fretboard? Further, has anybody found the coil split in a Custom 8 to be particularly interesting? And finally, what single coil pup would would you select to match either a Custom 8...

I have three Gibson SGs, each with a coil tap yielding the following output measurements when the volume is on "10": Hybrid -- 11.67K and 7.55K Custom 85 -- 14.56 and 7.34K Stock w/Bill Lawrence (HB-L / L-8) -- 13.22K and 6.67K: I thought it would be revealing to see where the outputs are...

I am fortunate to have two Gibson SG-90 Doubles from the late 80's, one with a stock factory floyd and a maple/ebony neck and the other with a string thru tailpiece arrangement and a mahogany/ebony neck; these are notable for their 25.5" two-octave board and come configured with a HB in the...
