    How to make a Super 70?

    Re: How to make a Super 70? This is a Super 70 on ebay. Does the magnet look taller?

    Do all humbuckers use the start of the screw coil as the hot lead?

    If so a push pull switch would ground the slug coils, splitting the outer coils when activated. I have a Squier Jagmaster with Duncan Design HB103's in it that I had to reverse the hot and ground to get the inner coils when using the push pull spot. I think it did. Also, is the screw coil always...

    What kind of Gibson Pickup's are these?

    I've never seen double leads before. Is this a version of 4 conductor leads?

    Can't get push pull pot to put pickup(s) in parallel

    Squier Jagmaster, HB103 with Alnico 5 in neck PU. Does the capacitor not being grounded on fender's diagram have anything to do with it? I'm using the bottom pic for reference.

    Splitting the inner coils

    This is a continuation from this thread: "DiMarzio 36th anniversary PAF sounds like I'm playing through a phaser." Someone asked for a wiring diagram to make sure it's correct. Next, I think the inner coils are active when the switch is activated. Every pickup wire is grounded when the switch...

    DiMarzio 36th anniversary PAF sounds like I'm playing through a phaser.

    It's wired correctly. It's paired with a DiMarzio Tone Zone in the bridge. I'm using the clean channel on a Yamaha THR10 and my Classic 57 and SD Jazz Neck pickups sound normal when used in this guitar. Is this the 'air' gap technology that he uses that causes that effect. Small pieces of...

    What happens if I connect the internal wires of a humbucker wrong

    The series link is supposed to be the finish of each coil, I think? One coil start is hot, the other coil start is ground. I broke the wires on one coil of a humbucker. Because of the way they broke I can't tell which wire goes where. I got it soldered and I'm reading 8KΩ which is correct, but...

    Epi ES339 push pull pot

    Re: Epi ES339 push pull pot I removed the resistive strip from a small body import 500kΩ pot to replace the bad one in the push pull pot. I had to destroy the wiper to get the shaft off but it worked. The new resistive part has different lugs so I had to improvise but everything is ohming out...

    Epi ES339 push pull pot

    Anyone have one for sale. I don't want to use a regular one because I'd have to cut the connector on the pickup wires.

    What kind of output jack is this?

    Hope in in the right forum. This cracked and I don't think I can epoxy it back together. It's from a Yamaha non-import model.

    Installing covers

    I saw these two earlier posts concerning adding covers. Wouldn't doing either of the suggestions below diminish the output? I have a 'JNJ' and a 'JBJ' I removed from 1979 Yamaha SG2000 I sold recently. I'd like to cover them since I like that look better. I added covers to a set of Ibanez Super...

    open coil

    Re: open coil The green and black are soldered together at the pickup under the tape, not in the control cavity. The picture shows what's under the tape at the pickup. Like it came out of the factory like this. Found 4 sets of wire after removing more tape. White to White, Black to Black, White...

    open coil

    How does the wiring under the tape correlate to the hookup wiring diagram on the SD web site. B=hot, G=ground, tie R&W. I don't know what SD model this is (no sticker). This is the bridge, the neck is a '59'. The person who sold this to a friend quite awhile ago didn't disclose that the bridge...
