    Cool Rails Bridge model in the neck position?

    So, when I got my pickups in the mail today, I saw that the Cool Rails that I will be putting into the neck position of my Carvin Bolt (swamp ash body, maple/maple neck) is the Bridge model (sticker underneath says SCR-1B), when I had asked for the Neck model. Before I go through sending it...

    master tone vs separate pots??

    I know I may be just splitting hairs here, but... Is there any difference in tone between using one master 500k tone pot vs. two separate 500k tone pots? Volume pot is another 500k. Just curious...I know that the number of pots changes the load on the circuit, but does it really if only one...

    treble bleed suggestions for my setup...

    I have a Carvin Bolt with an ash body and maple/maple neck. I'm getting ready to install a set of Everything Axe pickups on it, as well as this electronics upgrade. Question - what kind of treble bleed mod would you recommend for this (if I even need one)? I've looked at this one from SD, but...

    2 Vintage Rails/Duckbuckers with a higher output bridge HB?

    Can anyone share any experiences you've had with this? Did it work well for you? I'm toying with the idea of an Everything Axe set in my Carvin Bolt (swamp ash body, maple/maple neck), but I'm not sure about the Lil '59 in the neck or JB Jr. in the bridge just yet. I love the full-size JB's...

    Vintage Rails - using bridge model in neck/mid??

    Has anyone ever done this, especially when using a full-size bridge humbucker? Kind of like what Andy Timmons does with using two DiMarzio Cruiser bridge models in the neck/mid positions with his AT-1 bridge HB. I realize that the VR and Cruiser are totally diff. pu's, just curious if anyone...

    S-S-H volume level/balance...

    I am thinking of putting two Vintage Rails and a JB Trembucker in my guitar. Will I have any serious volume difference issues when moving between the 5 positions on the switch?

    Vintage Rail vs. Cool Rails?

    Anyone have any experience and/or sound clips comparing these two pickups in relatively similar guitars? So far I'm leaning more towards the VR for both neck/middle positions on my Carvin bolt (swamp ash body, maple/maple neck), but I'd like to hear them as much as I can before laying money...

    Pickup audio sample updates??

    Hoping frankfalbo and anyone else from the SD crew will read this... Does anyone know if audio samples for more SD pu's are coming anytime soon? For example, I'm potentially interested in acquiring a Hot Vintage(N)/Classic(M)/Hot(B) combo of Stack Plus pu's, but I'm having a tough time trying...

    SD Stack pu's vs DiMarzio Area's?

    Does anyone have any experience with SD Stack PLUS pu's vs DiMarzio Area's? I will have a brand new Carvin Bolt with 3 stock AP11 single-coils in about a week or so, and if I don't like the stock pu's, I'm examining alternatives ahead of time. I really like what I've heard from the DiMarzio...

    places online to buy guitar electronics?

    Hello, I've dealt with guitarelectronics.com and they were good, but I just wanted know if there's any other places I should check out for wire, switches, etc.?

    5-way super switch orientation??

    This is probably a dumb question...BUT... Does it matter whether the 24 terminals on a 5-way 4-pole superswitch face the rest of the electronics or face away form them? What I mean is - both of the wafers that the terminals are attached to (12 on each) serve exactly the same purpose and are...

    3-way 4-pole BLADE switch?

    I know there's such a thing as a 3-way 4-pole toggle switch (DiMarzio's EP1111 comes to mind), but does anyone make a 3-way 4-pole BLADE version of this switch? I like that in the middle position with this switch on a 2 HB guitar, you can have one coil from each HB together in parallel, but I...

    selector switch questions...for all you wiring gurus...

    Guys, I have a Schecter C-1 Classic which *supposedly* uses a 5-way megaswitch of some kind (but I honestly don't know) - its' wiring diagram can be found here. Can anyone confirm what kind of 5-way switch the C-1 Classic actually uses (Schecter Tech Support doesn't even know for sure - they...

    MJ-wound pickups...

    Let me start by saying that in asking this question, no disrespect intended AT ALL to MJ - I've played a PATB-1 (with 1BJ sticker on the bottom) and a Crazy 8 that were both wound by her, and they were wonderful pickups! :) OK...that said, I have a question - I've never compared a "regular"...
