Just to let you know where i’m coming from. I gig a lot with a pod 2.0–yes, the original one. In 2024 still. I have amps, other modelers, pres etc. but hey, I like it. so i’ve seen the rumblings online about IRs, and like all gear there seems to be products at a lot of price levels, but IR...

MIJ early 2000’s RG420GK actually this arrived a week ago, i just spaced off posting until today. those pickups are Guitarheads hexbuckers. Not bad at all. Full sounding, and complement this guitar fine. this has the wizard II neck. A tad more comfy than I remember the wizard being- but...

I don’t post these much, but I particularly like this color/vibe. Those are Bare Knuckle Juggernauts, so those may be getting a mention or review in the pickup forum at some point. and because i have no self-control, another NGD post may be coming by next week. :omg: :D

After a few attempts in a few strats and others, I think it’s a winner in this V. I bought the V a couple years ago because I liked the look. But never bonded too much with it. When I got it, it had the Duncan designed 103 set in it. I had this JB from about ‘99 or so. It’s original guitar that...

Had this Santana SE for a few weeks now. For me, I’m digging the feel and vibe of it. Master vol master tone, no splitting or anything. I have 2 other SEs and left the stock pickups in, but there was just a harshness from these stock santanas that started getting to me. so I put a super...

I just removed the cover from an sh-16. I am thinking of putting it in the bridge of my se24. removal: pretty easy. Razor blade against the small bead of solder and a gentle tapping with a small hammer. Broke it pretty easily. Pushed a flathead against the edge of the cover just to bow it out a...

So I just did a bunch of work on an old squire strat just for fun. Among the work was putting a JB in the bridge and re-wired it. Made it 1 vol/ 1 tone. so for the hell of it, I did the lead connections for the neck and middle pickups “backwards” for a little added versatility. This gives...

Se Zach Myers. I’ve wanted chrome pickups since I got it. The zebras look pretty good, but to me it’s just begging for the look of chrome covers. I was going to go with Seth Lovers or Mojotone 59 clones, but I’m quite pleased with the G&B 245S set stock. so I already had a pair of Duncan...

Long story short, I took the distortion/jazz pickups out of my Jackson Kelly to put the pickups up for sale on the dreaded ‘bay. Merely as a placeholder I put in a set of epi 57 classics…. to my complete shock and horror, they sound…. Awesome in this thing! dammit, who’d a thought that? :D

The other thread about the value of overseas-made guitars got me thinking and took me on a trip down memory lane. I found this pic online of my first electric-the Samick “scandal.” I don’t even remember how much it was. But like $300 or so. A whole summer’s worth of mowing lawns in about ‘92...

I have a Les Paul Studio with a 59 in the neck and a 59/custom hybrid in the bridge. It’s one of my favorite guitars to play. I love the neck, and it sounds good. I find the bridge pickup to be a tad on the bright side, but in a typical setting I keep the vol on around 8 or so, and it’s about...

I used to have a vetta combo years ago. It quit working, so I moved on. What I really liked was the 2 amps at once feature. I’m curious if any of their pods ever incorporated that, or if that was unique only to the vetta. Anyone know? btw, I’m in the budget range for used pod-type stuff, not...

So I've had an epiphone dot for a couple of years. Had the stock epiphone Alnico Classics. Honestly, not bad pickups. through a good amp, they're alright. But I'd been wanting something a tad more traditional style PAF in it. After debating for months over Saturday night Specials (I know...

way back when, I had a Squier super-strat H S H, standard 5 way lever, 1 vol 1 tone. I bought a JB and a 59n, and asked the guy at the store to just put in a 3-way lever and bypass the single-coil. I wanted to be able to have both humbuckers together instead of a middle single-coil. He said...

I have an epiphone dot, one of the newer blue/green ones, I bought it brand new in the fall of 2018. It has their alnico classic combo. Honestly, don't have any real gripes about the pickups, I think they are fine. However, I happen to have some duncans sitting around. I have a jazz neck and...
