    Which middle pickup for YJM Fury Bridge and Neck

    Re: Which middle pickup for YJM Fury Bridge and Neck RWRP probably won't make any difference, because the YJMs are hum cancelling. For some reason I don't have any hum issues with my single coil guitars and the least expensive "good" pickups are real single coils anyway, so that's what I am...

    Alternative to Custom Soapbar? Hot SoapBar? Lollar?

    Hi! I am using Custom Soapbars in two of my guitars. I am now considering changing my Gibson P90 in the bridge position of my Les Paul to a SD Custom Soapbar or similar. I know I like the Custom Soapbar. But how would you describe Hot Soapbar in comparison to Custom Soapbar. I am also...

    Will Duncan P90s fit in Gibson's creme covers?

    I am thinking about replacing my Gibson P90s in my 2007 Les Paul '56 VOS with a SD Custom Soapbar (b). I'd prefer to keep the original cover but will it fit? If not, does Duncans covers match Gibson's (VOS) covers? And does Gibson and Duncan have the same polarity. I.e. will Gibson/Duncan P90...

(Which means that I don't have sneak in yet another guitar case through the front door....) But are they any good? I.e. do they sound like the good...

    Phase question: Mixing SD and Fender

    Hi there, I am using a Li'l Screaming Demon in my '73 Strat. The problem is that Fender and SD have opposite polarity, so for example in position 4 when the middle Fender pu is mixed with the SD bridge pu, they are out of phase. I am also going to add a switch so I can mix the beck and bridge...

    Screamin Demon with silver nickel covers?

    I like the Screamin Demon a lot and I'd like to try one in my Les Paul '59 Reissue, but I'd prefer to have one with silver nickel covers. (I don't like black open humbucker on that kind of guitar.) Is it possible to put covers on a Screamin Demon?
