HI everyone! It's been a while since I posted here. I haven't modified pickups or changed them for quite a long time. Around a month ago I started reviving my Ibanez RGD71AL 7-string that has been sitting in a case for around 3 years. I was playing other guitars at that time but wanted to get...

Hi! I'm doing some guitar maintenance work for a friend of mine and I have issues with the bridge/string grounding. The guitar is LTD JH-600 and the bridge is Kahler Hybrid (most probably 7300). I swapped stock EMGs for passive Seymour Duncans and soldered new passive electronics using 500k...

Hi guys! I've 60s spec strat that is quite bright sounding. I have tried some pickup sets in it; SSL-1 set, Virtual Vintage 54 Pro (bridge) and Area 58s (mid&neck), Duncan APS-1 set. Tonally speaking, my clear favourite is APS set. I moved to new apartment which has crappy electronics wiring and...

Hi guys, I've been using Pegasus few years with my seven string guitars and really I really like it. It's now paired with 59B with A6 mag which is nice, but I want more output from my neck pickup. I use bridge for rhythms and solos, neck pickup for soloing and split them both for clean sounds...

Re: Humbucker signal problem - can you tell me the solution? Thanks for your help! You've confirmed that I'm complete idiot. Blasphemy in three, two, one...

Re: Humbucker signal problem - can you tell me the solution? I took the pickup out of the guitar and I'm troubleshoot the problem using just a multimeter. Both coils give readings as I mentioned but full humbucker mode does not. I've checked that the color codes are correct but it refuses to...

Hi guys! My friend has a white Hot P-Rails bridge humbucker (SHPR-2B) that doesn't give signal in humbucker mode. The weird thing is that both coils work separately but when wired as a standard humbucker (black hot lead, green+bare to ground) it's completely mute, no signal whatsoever. I've...

Hello guys! I recently acquired 1991 Tokai Gold Top Les Paul copy that I really like. The guitar weights 3,9kg, has mahogany body with thick maple top, mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard. Unplugged it has prominent midrange with nice bottom end and some jangle in high frequencies. It's...

I ordered a set of SP90-2's for my Tokai Les Paul Special copy. With this guitar I'm playing mostly hair metal and use it in studio for leads/solos. I tend not to like the sound of ceramic magnets and will most likely replace stock ones with Alnicos. Have anyone tried dual A8's for the Hot P90...

Hi guys, After quite long juorney with my Pegasus I've deicided to swap it out. I've liked it enough to keep it in my fixed bridge Ibanez RGD2127 around 3 years but recently found it lack aggression and output I'm after with this instrument. Guitar itself is somewhat dark sounding with full...

Hi guys! I need you help to decide to which neck pickup I should get for my Ibby PGM. I've tried couple neck humbuckers on this guitar from Duncan products. 59 had nice and warm bass but sounded bland, had no midrange and had pronounced highend that was too icepicky. Jazz was similar to 59 but...

Re: Jason Becker Perpetual Burn Trembucker? I've one installed in my '08 Ibby PGM301 with SSL-1 middle and A2P in neck. The guitar is super bright with lots of midrange and PB works pretty well in it with 250k pot. I found it harsh with 500k, at least in this instrument. The pickup itself is...

Hi guys! I've a Warmoth Telecaster that I'm looking to hook up a spin split for the bridge pickup. The pickup is custom made by Q Pickups and it is tapped (two different outputs, like SSL-5T). I was able to get it work momentarily, but after changing pot into a new one I got about 5% output when...

Last time I asked about what bridge pickup to go for and finally found a perfect one. Thanks again for recommendations, ideas and comments! I'm definitely set on Perpetual Burn(bridge) and SSL1 rwrp (middle) but I haven't yet found a perfect neck pickup. The guitar is very bright and punchy...

Hi guys! Just joined the forum after reading the posts for years. Lots of useful info around and generally nice ppl. I bought PGM301 model made in '08 couple years ago which I really enjoy to play. It has become my 'desert island' guitar since it's capable to cover a lot of different genres and...
