I know the old Fender Maverick and Fender Electric XII had those weird split coil pickups that look a little like Fender P Bass pickups or G&L Z coil pickups. I assume the two sides make them humbucking. But how would you describe their tone in terms of Strat equivalents? In other words, if I...

I have an idea to put together a guitar with some of the pickups I have laying around the house. Specifically, something with a Jag/Jazzmaster bridge. I have a brand new Broadcaster bridge Tele pickup that never went into the guitar I had planned. I also have a set of P-Rails that used to...

I'm building a project six string Warmoth Gecko bass for my son. They rout the bass for a pair of Duncan ASB2-6 / EMG 45 pickups. I assume the Duncan and EMG are both soap bars with the same shape. I admit to knowing way, way more about guitar pickups and almost nothing about bass pickups. I...

I'm building a project six string bass for my son. It's a six string. They route the bass for a pair of Duncan ASB2-6 / EMG 45 pickups. I assume the Duncan and EMG are both soap bars with the same shape. I admit to knowing way, way more about guitar pickups and almost nothing about bass...

I'm trying to use a Triple Shot with a Red-Blue Dually Lace Sensor for one of my partscasters. The diagrams on the Duncan site are obviously all geared toward SD pickups. The insert card instruction that came with the Triple Shot provides direction to go to the Triple Shot page "for color code...

Broadcaster vs Vintage’54? Please help me understand how these pickups compare and contrast to each other. I’m looking to replace my a Five-Two with something more traditionally “Tele”.

I have a Jazz and JB that I'm pulling from one guitar to put into a mahogany Strat. It has a 25" scale maple neck and rosewood board. I like the way both pickups sound in the mahogany body they are in now. But it's getting reassigned. I want to put a middle pickup in there because it's a...

I want to replace the pickups in an Epiphone G-1275 double neck. The classic ‘70s models had T Tops, which were rather low output, clear A5 humbuckers. I figure that the Seymour Duncan Jazz set kind of gets real close to that mark. That should cover the 12 string side. For the 6 string side...

Two of my favorite players of all time are Page and Lifeson, and both happened to periodically play Gibson EDS-1275 models from the '70s. My guess is Page's Cherry one must have been from around 1971 or so. Lifeson's Alpine White is from around 1976. So I thought I'd ask the good folks here...

I'm looking to put together a doubleneck guitar with an alder body and 24.75" mahogany necks. I want to get it as close to the sound/feel of a classic Gibson EDS-1275 as possible, but wihout the set necks and mahogany body. If I could, I'd simply go with a mahogany body, but I can't. I...

SM-1n - Vintage SM-2n - Custom SM-3n - Seymourized I'm a little confused by the Duncan site. After searching and reading through a bunch of mini humbucker threads here, I had the impression that the "custom" would be the highest output and the "vintage" would be the lowest. So, when looking...

I've had a few threads on here asking for some pickup advice - both for a sort of Fat Nashville type Tele I'm building. Tele bridge, Strat middle, Mini Humbucker Neck. Now that I've gotten a lot of feedback, I need to go ahead and buy some pickups. It's been a few years since I've built a...

Putting together a parts Tele. I'm by no means a country wizard, but I think Tele should twang a bit. So I'm not looking for anything like a LP Jr or anything distinctively non-Tele. I tend to like some rock guitar players that have used Tele over the years. Jimmy Page is a great example...

This was a Fender model from a few years back. Looked like their 52 Reissue model, but with a couple changes. One, it had a nitro finish. Two, it sported a pair of SD pickups: Tele bridge and mini-humbucker neck. Does anybody know which models of SD pickups that guitar had? All I can...

Building a new parts Tele with Nashville route and mini hum neck. So looking for pickup recommendations for all 3 positions: 1. Tele bridge pickup 2. Strat middle pickup 3. Mini humbucker Neck pickup Guessing it's kind of a Brent Mason deal
