I was wondering if you guys have any advice/thoughts on this matter? I have a couple of bridge humbuckers that the adjustable pole pieces have now gone very rusty. I'm guessing that this must have some slight adverse effect on the tone? If I wanted to replace them with new screws how easy is...

Hi there This is a long shot. I was wondering if any of you out there may have specific Gibson ceramic discs caps I need? I am hoping that some of you may have some lying around in your parts drawer when you have upgraded the electrics of a Gibson etc they you may have to sell to me? I think...

I have a guitar that I had built for me. The guitar has a Humbucker with vintage 2 core and also a Telecaster single coil with base plate. The pickups sounds great when selected on their own but sound a bit weird on the middle possition on the pickup selector (which is a 3 way). So it is when...

A bit of a weird question but I want to wire up a Telecaster with the Broadcaster (With Blend) Wiring. http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=broadcaster_blend With this wiring the pot that acts as the blend pot works by turning it fully clockwise is the...

On a regular humbucker I have seen some guitarists raise the adjusting pole pieces up. What does this do to the tone? If it just makes each string louder why not just raise the whole pickup up by a couple of mm's?

I just recieved a set of custom shop Seymour Duncan pickups that I ordered. I have a slight problem with them. I just tried to fit them. The bridge pickup is fine. The neck pickup on the other hand has come without the height adjustment screw holes being threaded. So I cant install it. Any ideas...

I was wondering if any one can help me. I have been doing some research on Keith Richards Micawber Tele. On this guitar he takes off the low E string. At some point since getting this guitar along the way he has removed the low E pole piece from his bridge pickup as well. Why would he do this...

I am on a quest to find a set of these cermic disc caps (see attached picture). I know all you guys will say don't bother with ceramic disc caps but for my own silly and frankly anal reasons I really need 2 of these exact caps. So have exactly the same thing printed on them. They come stock in a...

I have decided I want to order a custom made set of seymour duncan pickups. Do I just contact seymour duncan direct with the specs I want or do I have to go through a seymour duncan dealer?

In the specs for the new slash aph-2 it says that they have a wooden maple spacer. Which spacer do they mean or are both spacers on each side wooden? Also anybody know where I can buy some maple spacers? Have no axcess to a work shop so can't make my own. Also are the coils covered in black...

I was wondering about the spec of the new Slash set of Duncans that have just come out. They say that they are made with the one core, long legged plate and wooden spacer like they were in the 80's. Which is cool but what I am confused about is the output. Seymour Duncan say the Slash set has a...

I was wondering if any of you might know what brands of pots have the markings on the side of the pot rather than on the top. For instance all the cts and centralab pots all have the pot markings on the top but I am after ones that Gibson put in one of their new custom guitars that have the...

I have a four conductor seymour duncan humbucker and was just wondering if its possible to convert it to a one core like vintage style?

I know this is the Seymour Duncan froum but I was wondering if any of you might have some ideas about this..... I have attached a picture of a Fender texas Special Tele bridge pickup. On the second pole piece from the left I have circled a strange part of the bobbin. You can see what I mean by...

does anybody know what year roughly Gibson started making PAFs percificly for neck and bridge possitions?
