I had an idea for a little side hustle. I have more than a little experience with fret and nut work, specifically stainless steel frets. As far as I know, the only way to get a Strat neck with stainless frets is from maybe Warmoth? I guess, and maybe Kiesel if you buy their Strat type kit guitar...

I may just do a mag swap on a Crunchy PAT I have instead of buying a Duncan; it's a good pickup and I'd like to see what an Alnico 8 does for it. Are there any pitfalls to GFS pickups that would make a mag swap more difficult or ill advised? Any experiences with modifying GFS pickups in general?

I want to have a covered JB in a guitar to match the guitar's aesthetic, but I want to do a magnet swap before I install it. So should I: 1) Buy a covered JB, remove the cover, swap the mags, reinstall the cover, then install the pickup or... 2) Buy an uncovered JB, buy a separate cover, swap...

I'm going to swap the stock magnet for an Alnico 8 then probably put a nickel cover on it to match the guitar it's going into. I measured carefully and what's in it now is definitely F-spaced, which makes sense since it's a Squier. So this particular JB doesn't have to win any beauty contests...

I've had a JB+ 7 (ceramic magnet) in the bridge position of my custom seven string for almost ten years now. It has served me well and I can see how my playing has evolved around it. But recently I've been getting into some serious recording and I've really been struggling to get a guitar sound...

Hi everybody. I've recently become interested in magnet swapping some pickups. Rather than asking the same questions everyone else has asked I decided to search around on the forums for experiences and advice that had already been given. With some digging I found all the information I needed...
