    What would you replace the Custom Custom with???

    I have the TB-11 Custom Custom in a few guitars. I used to love them with lots of gain! Now that I'm delving into medium to low gain and lots of cleans, I find that they sound too much like a stuck wah pedal. Guitar 1: '14 Fender American Deluxe Strat HSH - 2 point trem with giant brass block...

    WTB - Rivera KH100 Original Knucklehead Amp

    I am looking for a Rivera KH-100 Preferably one with the M at the end of the serial number, but that is not a deciding factor I had one years ago and recovered the cab in a brown Tolex I foolishly sold it and still wish I had not! I can pay through PayPal Friends & Family, or trade a very nice...

    PATB1-N swap magnet or try a different pickup?

    I have been using the Parallel Axis neck pickup in my Custom 24 for years. I'm starting to get into a lot of Govt Mule style music and using less gain. I love the way the PATB1-N sounds clean. It's a little bit too dark and punchy for my tastes with distortion or overdrive though. The...

    PRS Custom 24 w/Floyd Rose Trem - what neck pickup for versatility & warmth?

    Over Christmas, I picked this guitar up: Flamed maple neck Ebony fretboard Mahogany body Thick maple cap Floyd Rose tremolo It came stock with PRS's \m/ or Metal pickups. If I played metal, I might like them. I'm currently playing in a cover band and need more dynamics, and less sonic...

    Hot Rails Neck in the Bridge Position?

    I'm going to turn one of my Strats back into an S/S/S cofiguration. It's currently H/S/H. I have a Hot Rails neck pickup in a box. I did not like it in the neck, a little too dark and hot for what I wanted out of this guitar. It is a great metal or hard rock pickup in the neck though! I am...

    STK-S2 Opinions

    I've always been curious about this pickup. Can't find very many reviews at all, so I thought I would ask here. I have an ESP ST-1 with a Hot Rails in the neck, STK-S4 middle, and Custom in the bridge. I really like the Hot Rails, but it's not mine, I borrowed it from a friend. I'm torn...

    Anyone try Alnico II in a PATB-2?

    For years I've been struggling with my Ibanez JS1000. The stock pickups (DiMarzio PAF Pro in the neck and FRED in the bridge) work very well for Satch. I have neither the talent, fingers, or Marshall amp with bright distortion pedals, to make the stock pickups work for me....... The neck always...

    Recommend me some cheap, hot Strat pickups

    My 7 year old son has decided that he doesn't like the pickups in his Squier Mini Strat anymore. He wants it to sound more rock and roll. Any good, cheap, recommendations for a set of rails or similar hum cancelling Strat sized pickups? I don't want to get junk for him, but he's 7, so I don't...

    Strat Neck Pickup Position for Better Harmonics

    I know the theory of the harmonic located above the neck pickup on a Strat. Throwing that theory away......has anyone here re-located their neck pickup a little bit closer to the bridge? Say, where the neck pickup would be on a 24 fret guitar? I love the neck tones on my Strat, but they are...

    What screws do I use to direct mount Strat pickups?

    I bought a Warmoth Soloist HSS body to replace the body on my HH Carvin Bolt Plus. What screws should I use to mount the single coils to the body? I don't want to mess up the threads on the pickups, just in case I don't like them and want to try different ones. Any help would be greatly...
