    SD "Mortal Coil" 3-Voice Active Humbuckers....Say What?!

    Look... I resent Gen AI as much as anybody, but I don't see any compelling reason to believe this ad copy wasn't written by a person. First off, there are no em dashes lol. But also, none of the buzzwords are really red flags. If you think for a sec, this is a dunk specifically on Fluence...

    Floyd Rose Bridge and Fender Strat Vibrato bridge

    ??? Y'all miss where they typed "even when both are floating"? And then again "even when floating"?? I reckon @Christopher is correct, along with perhaps the strings going through the block on a fender-style trem, unlike a floyd Floyds just seem to need less tension on the springs too, ime, so...

    if my sources are correct SD should be announcing production versions of these very soon

    Can you share any info about the SD Black Backs?

    I remember a long time ago somebody confirming they were merely tweaked versions of the Custom Custom & Jazz models, with the black baseplate, but who knows. Some speculated they had Neo Dym magnets but Ed's own web page debunked that.

    ZENdrives??

    Build an Aion FX Azimuth kit It's basically the perfect zen drive, fairly cheap, and one of the absolute easiest pedals to build. https://aionfx.com/project/azimuth-dynamic-overdrive/

    Bridge Pickups in the Neck

    And yet Paul Gilbert uses an X2N in both neck and bridge :oops:

    So, talking to AI about pickups...

    Yeah, these LLMs are trained to plagiarize and infringe on IP as a feature. You shouldn't just be able to opt out of having your works used for AI training, you should have to opt in and get paid for the indignity. But now basically every soc med platform is adding verbiage to their terms and...

    So, talking to AI about pickups...

    The only job current AI models have been given is to devalue human labor. It doesn't need to be used anywhere other than as a threat to depress wages. Hopefully this bubble will burst sooner rather than later.

    Is anyone here experienced with EMG?

    add the SPC aux control and u will never need to worry about vol difference w/ single coils. I use one with an SA in the neck positon but I wonder if it'd be better with an S. dunno. maybe someday I'll try it

    Mojotone vs. Philadelphia Luthier Tools magnets

    I'd wager good money there is a non-zero chance Philly and Mojo get their magnets from the same supplier "why pricing different, then?" who knows, varying bulk discounts, different profit margin targets, etc.

    The pros & cons of alder?

    Yeah, quick, somebody tell G Lynch he used shrill body wood for years it is very very heavy, tho alder is fine, its just kinda more "neutral" and flavorless than some other options. look up that tone test video Warmoth did some years ago

    Any Love For, Or Thoughts On, The Fishman Fluence Modern Humbuckers?

    yo i have the Moderns in my Ibanez Prestige and i disagree that the bridge is akin to an EMG81 "but better". The EQ and response are too different imo. It's thicker and has less "cut" or "bite" to my earballs. It's pretty tight, but still not like an 81. ultimately, when I want that "emg81...

    16 bit sound?

    you're gonna need some better adjectives, then, cause nobody understands what you mean. it's like me and how I don't understand this guy who works at a local Starbucks. see, to me, it seems like he shouldn't be allowed to wear a baby in one of those baby front vests at his job, but he does and...
