Hey I have a Squier VM Jagaur which I've re-finished in nitro and installed some Antiquity II's in (see pics) I want to add a series wiring option for the middle pickup setting (both pickups on) I can't find a single thread or post anywhere online where anyone has done this or explains it -...

Hi guys Has anyone tried out the Stewart Mac GOLDEN AGE Humbuckers? Good price.... the Harmony central reviews RAVE about how good they are (especially nickel plated and at such a good price) Paspallum

Hey Les Paul players! I want to put new humbuckers in my Les Paul to replace the mushy stock one's. I have so many choices. A guy on this forum (Pstarove) has been helping me out heaps and has educated me to the virtues of the AntQ Humbuckers. I had a few more things to find out about them...

Hi guys Here's my story. I was in the local guitar store (here in New Zealand) and I take hold of this brand new Gibson (custom shop) custom Les Paul 'Black Beauty'. Now this thing played and sounded so good it was un-believeable. Un-plugged it was nice and solid sounding, it sounded well...

Hi Hey I have seen a few articles online where people have made replicas of Neil Youngs guitar http://www.pisotones.com/Alfonso/OldBlack/OldBlack_En.htm Apparently Seymour Duncan supplied the Firebird pickup for this guitar "the bridge pickup has been substituted with a Firebird...

Howdy I have a nice Les Paul Goldtop (Tokai) It has Seymour Duncan Antiquity P-90's and a Bigsby. It sounds great. I am wanting to try a Firebird pickup in the bridge postion to try and geta bit of Neil Young's 'OLD BLACK' vibe. (plus I love how sweet firebird pickups sound in Firebirds as...

Hi guys I've had a Seymour Duncan '54 tele pickup for quite a few years now, I had it in a 60's (rosewood board) re-issue tele. The guitar sounded sweet 'un-plugged' but always a bit harsh plugged in. (eventually I found the 60's tele sounded better with the stock fender pickup it came with). I...

Hi guys I haven't posted since last year. That was when I was looking at getting some P-90's. Some of the guys in this forum (especially Jeremy) helped me out a lot. I ended up getting Antiquity P-90s. They sound great... I am happy with their tone. The only downer is that the bridge pickup...

I recieved my set of Antiquity P-90's on Friday. Signed by Seymour himself. I liked my stock Tokai 'P-90's' so much but I found they got a bit muddy when the drive was turned up... I was how-ever 'in Love' with the clean sound they had..... so I was a bit tentative about getting the Antiquitys...

Hey guys I was just minutes away from ordering a set of Antiquity P-90's by phone and saw on the spec sheet that the covers are only 0.360" high. On my Les Paul The PUps stick out a long way. I notice that the Seymour Duncan Vintage SP90-1 specs say that it has a slighly taller 'vintage...

Hey I was hours away from oredering a set of Antiquity P-90's for my Bigsby equipped Tokai Goldtop this afternoon....and then the Schaller Tune-o-matic Roller bridge I had on order arrived. I installed the roller bridge. (It is machined fromsolid brass). The tone has improved a lot from having...

Hey I have a '54 Jap re-issue Fender Strat, it has a SD Little '59 in the bridge and Kinmans in the mid, and neck. I put a Callaham Vintage cold rooled steel trem block in the guitar and it all sounded OK (just OK) It never really 'felt' good on the ears... it never seemed to sound 'sweet'...

What are the Kent Armstrong P-90's like compared to Seymour Sincan? Has anyone used them? Paspallum

Hey guys I've been doing some real in depth research on P-90's especially the ones from Guitars Fetish, the GFS P-90 model. The guy at GFS (Jay) seems real cool and helpful... I'd say they probably sound pretty good... and even on this forum... no-ne has anything bad to say about the GFS...

My ears have always know that while my stock Tokai P-90's sounded not too bad... that they are not fully up to the job and would need replacing. But it was only today (after 1 months of owning it) that I actually took the pickups out and had a look at them... What was inside? Well 2 long...
