So I want to change an Ibanez Super 80 pickup with a Duncan (?) (undecided as to which one) but I want to retain the original solid (no holes) "flying fingers" gold cover. Before it undergoes surgery will a SD, Dimarzio, Gibson humbucker fit into the Ibanez cover? I guess it gets down to...

So I'm trying to compare pickups and I see some new products and try to listen to a sample and it does not exist. Also the T/M/B has zero numbers. I'm referring to the SH-18 and there are no audio samples of the Full Shred SH-10. How long has this been going on? Good way to lose a customer...

I have a SD hb pickup, braided single connector, that is labeled 59 BJ. It measures 8.5 resistance. What is it? I emailed SD but have yet to hear from them?

Went to Ibanez forums and got part #s that did not match up when I entered them in the Ibanez parts...

can't find audio samples of the brobucker. do they exist?

I have a 1979 Ibanez 2630 which is semi hollow body, with maple body, neck, and ebony fingerboard plus super 80 ceramic pickups, all of which means BRIGHT!!! I'd like to warm it up and thinking about Alnico II pickups. Is this a good way to go...i.e. SD alnico 2 pros...? Also I don't know what...

I have a very early PRS (1986) standard (24 frets) and the pups are ceramic & too BRIGHT. I read that PRS in later years changed them (and finally put in a tone pot) but I'm exploring SD options and trying to figure a way to have a tone pot. The guitar I have only has rotary pup selector, volume...
