So I just built two warmoth guitars...both nearly identical specs. Solid one piece ash bodies, one with flame maple cap, the other with quilt maple cap. Both maple necks with rosewood boards, one is satin nitro, the other roasted. I currently have Phat Cats in one, and Bare Knuckle Nailbombs...

I've been running through pickups, I don't REALLY know what I'm looking for, just sort of working my way through the SD lineup to see what I do and don't like and hoping I strike gold . I have 3 guitars equipped with humbuckers right now. My Custom 24 has Bareknuckle Nailbombs: "The Nailbomb...

Picked up a PRS CE24 a little while ago and it has the 85/15 TCI pickups in it. They are awesome...just scream 80's rock to me, but they are lower output than you'd typically use for that purpose and clean up really well. Looking at the specs I'd never guess they would sound the way they do...

So I love the APH-2...both neck and bridge. They are super versatile for me and do 95% of what I want. I'd like to get another set for a different guitar, but I also kind of want to try something slightly different. Specifically, I'm looking to get a bridge pickup with similar voicing to the...

Looking for some help with a pickup upgrade. I have typically always played Les Pauls, and Ive been hit and miss with pickups. I liked the traditional with the 59 tributes enough, though the bridge was a bit flabby. Also liked my old les paul classic with the 57/57+...these were open coil...

I'm looking to replace the stock pups and electronics in my Epiphone Sheraton. The stock ones aren't terrible, but they're not good either and I need more clarity. I have a 59/custom 5 combo in my Les Paul and I am EXTREMELY happy with it...I don't need as much gain as my custom 5 gives me in...

Well I am completely rewiring my guitar and changing the pups for the first time....and I did something wrong. When I select the neck pickup it works perfectly, volume and tone both working fine. When I select the bridge however the tone knob does nothing, and I can just barely hear it with the...

I have an Epi Les Paul that I absolutely love the feel of, the the pickups leave something to be desired. I have actually owned a Gibson Les Paul Standard, and a Gibson Les Paul Studio as well, but this Epi, for some reason or another just feels more right than they ever did (plus I like the...

Well Im a long time reader but first time poster. I am ordering some new pickups for an old Strat I have. Its a Fender Lite Ash Strat with a maple neck. Its a very bright guitar, but its routed for HSH and I want to build something thats good for nice thick gain (think Godsmack, Soundgarden...
