    Noisy Whole Lotta Humbuckers?

    I recently had my tech install a set of WLH’s in my Les Paul. We also swapped out the cob bots for pots and caps. The guitar is noisy. The tech tells me he checked all the wiring and it’s wired properly and grounded yet when I touch any metal pieces on the guitar it gets quieter. He says he...

    Do I bother? PRS + SD

    I’ve got a PRS McCarty with the 57/08 pickups. I find them somewhat weak sounding and a little sterile. I’ve also got a Gibson LP studio that I put SD Whole Lottla Humbcukers in. That guitar sounds amazing! It’s just not that comfortable. You can probably see where this is going.... If I put...

    What pickups for a 335?

    I have a Gibson 335 that has the stock stuff in it (Classic 57's and wiring). The guitar's clarity is lacking and the overdriven tone just isn't there. I'm thinking about replacing the wiring with a RS kit but haven't decided on the pickups. For the cleaner sounds you're looking for this: (John...
