Hi, I have a PRS S2 Standard 22 with stock #7 bass and treble pickups. I find them quite muddy, lacking in clarity and quite uninspiring but I do like them when they are split. I've tried changing the heights and pole pieces but I just don't like them very much. What would pups would give...

I have a Jaguarillo SSH that I want to make into an HSH without changing the pickguard. At the moment it has the stock singles in it, with an Iron Gear Dirty Torque in the bridge which is 16.4k. I have a JB Jr strat bridge and a Lil 59 bridge sitting in a draw dong nothing. 1) Would either...

I want to convert my 2012 American Standard Telecaster to a 3 pickup Nashville type guitar. It has a broadcaster pup at the bridge and a twisted tele covered in the neck. What middle pup do you suggest to get good in between strat like quack? Is a 5 way super witch the best way to go if I want...

I'm sure this has been asked before but I can't find an exact answer. I'm about to put new pups in an HSS strat. The neck pup is 6.2k and the middle rwrp is 6.5k. From what I understand it is better to put the rwrp in the neck position. Will swapping the neck and middle cause issues because...

I have my American Standard Telecaster 2012 setup as follows; Relief .010 at 8th fret Action is 2mm (5/64) across all strings at the 12th fret. All frets are perfectly level with no wear. I still get string buzz on the low e around fret 10 onwards. There is no open string buzz. I know this...

Hi, I have a Jaguarillo which I love but I don't dig the single coil pickups - standard fender strat pickups in neck & middle. I do actually quite like the atomic in the bridge though. I want to put in two single sized humbuckers and then put in a push pull to split all three at the same time...

Hi, I've just got a 2nd hand Road Worn Jaguar that had a JB jr in the bridge. I'm going to reinstall the original AV65 pickup but noticed that neck AV65 pickup installed has a white wire and the bridge AV65 pickup to install has a yellow wire. According to the Seymour Duncan wiring diagram...

I have two triple shots and two p-rails going into a guitar with two extra mini toggle switches. Can I use the toggles for parallel/series and phase with the p-rails?

HI, Does anyone have the wiring diagram for: 2 Humbuckers, 2 Triple Shots, 1 vol, 1 tone with phase amd series/parallel switch For some reason it no longer exists on the website. Thanks Si

Hi, I have a set of P-rails in an HSH Steinberger. I get virtually no quack in 2/4 pos with the middle single coil and the p-rails single coils. One of the main problems is the the pups are all pretty close together on the steinberger. Is it worth flipping the P-rails around so that the rails...

Does anybody know of drop in replacement P90's for an epiphone Wildkat? The stock p90's are dull with little treble. Are the dimensions of the dog ears the same as replacement ones?

I have a version 1 Parker Nitefly which was modded a long time ago. It has both magnetic and piezo pickups. A 9v battery compartment was added together with an active preamp which has treble and bass controls. So, it now has a volume control for the magnetic pups, a volume control for the...

I've recently aquired a PRS SE Santana II hardtail and decided to put two p-rails and triple shots in it last night. Prior to doing this the guitar was stock and when plugged in had no hum at all. All I did was take the old pups out and wired in the P-Rails with the triple shots. I now get...

I have a Highway One Strat SSS config (maple neck) and plan on replacing the stock pickups with SSL-1's in the neck and middle that I have knocking about. Not sure what to get for the bridge though. I want to get that classic Knopfler in between sound. The heaviest I get is a classic blues...

There are loads of threads on the forum about action. Everybody classifies their action as low, low/medium, medium, medium/high, high. I haven't got a clue what you would call a low or high action. Could someone please put measurements against the terms?
