Hello. Little by little I've been requiring more strength from my Tele pups. First I swapped the Alnico II on the bridge for a Hot Lead Stack, and I love it. I recently bought a Seth Lover for the neck but I think I'll need to change the pots to 500k. It does make sense since both are...

So, after borrowing a bass from my bandmate (I'm a guitar player) and doodling around with it for days, I find out that I really like playing bass. And as a lefty who lives in Costa Rica there are not many options for me, or none at all, in the guitar shops around. I'm not planning on switching...

Being finally satisfied (for now) with my guitar, I'm thinking of getting myself a good bluesy tube amp. But right now I can't decide what would be best for me. My options are a clone version (weber or ceriatone) of the 5E3 tweed deluxe or the Blues jr. On one side I like the customization...

Hi. Could someone tell me if the woody pup can ...well pickup sound from nylon stringed guitars? I think probably not, but you never know. And, If not, is there something like that in Seymour's catalog? :scratchch

Hi. I recently bought a Little 59 for my Tele bridge. I installed it with a switch to split the coils. As I still don't fully understand wiring I need some help. Everything works fine until I use the middle position on my three-way switch. I get a nasal sound I think is due to phase inversion...

Hello. I attached a phase switch for my tele. I followed the wiring diagram from Seymour´s main site. The nasal sound is there but I´m experiencing a terrible noise when I activate the switch. Actualy there is more noise than sound from the pups. :34: I double checked the ground and seems ok...

I know this is a very relative question, but Id like to know your opinion. The thing is, I have a very low budget and I love the Fender Stat sound. My dilemma is how to invest in the search of a smooth tone. So what would you think would be a better investment? 1 - Alder/Rosewood Squire with...

Hello. Still fighting with my ssl-5 Ok here it goes. In the seymour duncan webpage you can find dc resistance and peak resonance for both tapped and full. That must mean you can switch your pup for both percentage. Other single coils have three wires for comming out (earth,tapped,full). But the...

Hello there. I have a doubt, hope anyone can help. Do reversed wound and reversed polarity afect the quality of the tone of a single coil pup? the question applies both for mixed or single middle position. and if so how would it affect the sound aside the hum cancelling? :thanks: : private:

Hello. I just made some changes to a strat squire I own. Disregarding the kind advice of previous thread posts, I got an SSl-5L and put it in the neck position. I wanted to get a deeper sound, and the ssl5 did it, but somehow I believe I lost a lot of treble in that position. I also changed the...

Hello. First post. I have a lefty strat squire and Im trying to get a better sound (without buying a real strat) so Im planning to get a couple of SD pups (ssl1 and ssl5). I just want to hear some opinions. Would it be a good idea to put the ssl1 in the bridge position and the ssl5 in the neck...
