Re: P90 Magnet Swap help Thanks for the tips. All done and ready for the first proper trial, managed to flip the bobbins in the bridge so now have a silent middle position! Need to sort the poles out and then I’ll tinker with the A8 if I need it.

Howdy, I know this has been round the block a few times but it’s worth an ask. I’ve just taken the chrome covers off my casino coupe, replacing with black plastic ones and decided to opt for a magnet swap at the same time (bridge quiet and thin, neck to much of everything) Was going to try...

Hi all, just posting for info so please don't burn me at the stake for Blasphemy. Having read here about magnet swaps I took the plunge and tried A4 and A3 In the neck of my LP (in an attempt to remove some chub). The A4 sounded ok but lost too much personality for me, I tried a rough cast A3...

Hi all, long time since I've posted but I need help for the experts. I know P90 magnet swaps aren't new but I can't find much information around hollowbody applications. Just picked up an Epiphone casino Gary Clark Jnr on offer, amazing guitar but feel the pickups need 'tuning' somewhat...

Re: Duncan (neck) & DiMarzio (bridge) Humbuckers wired to split in LP clone Thanks Jeremy, shame I'd already installed them. Just tried her out and now I'm more confused, all positions worked fine, tried splitting all ok, middle position when split sounds particularly great, then switched...

Hi all, Advice and help required. My LP clone has an APH-1N wired to split to poles (as opposed the standard diagram to slugs) and I'm about to put a 36th Anniversary PAF (already purchased don't flog me for straying!) Into the bridge wired split to slugs (see diagram), will I have phase...

Hi Gents, Odd observation but when my vintage stack is split it sounds louder than in humbucking mode.... how?? Either way it does sound truly awesome to my ears though! Anyone else have this?

Re: Tele with a little 59 bridge, which bucker for the neck? Hi guys, Just thought I'd post this for whomever is interested, the finished project (after some wood removal, scratch plate adjustment and a few heart stopping moments!!) I'm really pleased with the results and appreciate the...

Hi all, looking for my possible next purchase, swamp ash body (tele type) with a little 59 in the bridge, wondering what would be recommended for the neck (humbucker that may also split).. Nice cleans through to bluesy type tones?

Re: 'Partial' coil tap/split experience.. This is what I'm intending to go with, comments and advice welcomed, new to modding and loving it! Guitar is a Michael Kelly

Evening all.. Asking if anyone has experimented with a partial coil tap or split (similar to PRS DGT). PRS use resitors to leave a percentage of the second coil still active but I read that capacitors can be used with better results, anyone tried it? Suggested values or a formula to help...

Wondering if anyone has experience of experimenting with tone capacitor values with APH1s in both neck and the bridge? I only have a master volume and master tone so I guess it's one value that will suit both positions. Sprague orange drops are my intended choice, .015, .022,.033 or .047?? I...

Wiring Confusion.. Can someone please help? I recently wired two APH-1’s into my Michael Kelly Patriot Custom as I’ve always wanted to get the fat bluesy/rock tone whilst keeping the split coil for a ‘thinner’ sound to keep my options open (removing the stock Rockfield’s that weren’t bad but...
