Anyone ever tried a BG-1400 in a strat? I think it should work just fine. Should I use surfers or Texas hots in the other two positions?

Guys, I am looking for a mini humbucker or firebird style pickup that has a big open sound like a BG1400 or a broadcaster. Am I searching for the impossible? thanks!

I have a 2019 Gibson SG junior that plays great and rings acoustically, but plugged in, it sound like the tone control is rolled down about 3/4 the way. im getting the meter out to check if it really Has 500k pots and good solder joints. Any other ideas? Could the pickup magnets not be...

I read somewhere htat Joe Bardens and Duncans are wound out of phase with each other. Can anyone confirm?

Has anyone here tried the Custom Shop Pearly Gates in a 335? how did you like it?

Guys, I have a HSS Strat type guitar that I like but would like to dump the EMGs. I have found I really like how a PATB-3 sounds in the bridge. Will ssl-1s be too low output to closely match? How about Area 61s? For the single coils I want a SRV and Ronnie Earl tone

Guys, I recently swapped for a Jazz neck, and when I go to install it I realize the screw holes on the legs are wallowed out bigger than 3-48. I found some 3-48 brass nuts that I thought I could solder to the legs. Has anyone done this? They are so small that I wonder if I soldered them, I would...

Guys, When was the earliest Pearly Gates made ? I have one with a baseplate that’s says Seymour Duncan but no made in America. Was there an earlier version than this?

Guys, When did SD start making the Pearly Gates special order? I remember in the early to mid 80s getting a special order (only then) PG bridge that came in a plastic string pouch like Ernie ball used instead of the plastic box. Anyone know when they were first sold?

Has anyone here changed the magnets out in recent PRS DGT Pickups? From what I can tell, they come with A2. I have had good luck going form A2 to A4 and I wonder if anyone has tried it? I would like it to be a little brighter and snappier.

Hi, what is the story of the Godin quad rail humbucker sized pickups? How did they sound? Were the split tones any good? BTW I would greatly appreciate a wiring diagm, it has some sort of DiMarzio in the bridge

Hi, I suspect that this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find it. Have any of you tried the fixed resistors (1.1 and 2.2k) that prs now uses in their coil tap circuit? I assume the 1.1k is used for the neck and the 2.2k is used for the bridge? What fixed resistor values have worked...

Hi, I have traded for a couple of Dimarzio buckers recently. A Dimarzio Virtual PAF and an Air Norton. Which would work best in the bridge of a PRS SE? I am looking for a gritty PAF tone.

Guys, A while back I received a Hamer USA Slammer pickup from the 80s. This is a 10K Dimarzio of some sort. Does anyone know what this pup actually sounds like? Hot PAF?

Is there a wiring scheme that uses the lower tone control on a strat to blend in a neck/bridge series combo? There was a schematic in Guitar Player years ago that I used twice that I liked. Anyone have a copy of that schematic?
