I recently received two humbuckers of the same type, but one is Alnico 5 magnet and the other is Ceramic magnet. They are identical and the seller did not indicate which is which :lame:. Except that one is slightly hotter than the other : 7.4 ohm vs 7.8 ohm. I have a need to pull the magnet...

I hate the bridge position on my strat. I never use it. I can't stand the overly metallic and jangly tone. I plan to remove the bridge pickup (Lace Sensor Blue) and use it as the neck pup in another guitar. That leaves me with the neck and middle pickups only. I can leave the guitar exactly...

Blocking the low end FR trem on my guitar. I know I don't need to put the nut locks on anymore, but should I remove the whole locking apparatus? There is still a standard plastic nut below the locking nut. EDIT - I decided to remove the entire locking nut because it was causing some ringing on...

Wiring up an HSS pickguard with the SD Custom bridge and ceramic single coils from Mexi strats, and a 5 way super switch. Would you rather have: 5 Neck 4 Neck + Mid 3 Neck + inner coil 2 Mid + outer coil 1 Bridge humbucking serial Or 5 Neck +Mid 4 Neck + inner coil 3 Mid + outer coil 2 Bridge...

I have two alnico pro 2 4-conductor humbuckers I plan to put into a strat style guitar with a 3-way blade selector switch. I would like if I can make the middle position be the two pickups in split mode. Is this possible with just the 3-way switch or would I need to add a DPDT push/pull pot to...

Trying to find out what sort of pickup combinations I can have with a superswitch and these single-coil sized humbuckers. Unfortunately the magnets are fixed in place and cannot be flipped on these pickups, so as far as I can tell there is no RWRP possibility.

Thinking about going this route. Always loved the SSL-1 demos for the bite and clarity of the pickups. Also really like what I hear from the PG bridge humbucker. But are they a good match? Anyone ever tried them together before? Really my major concern is if the A2 in the PG will jive with...

I have two Seymour Duncan SC sized humbuckers (lil 59 and JB Jr). I really wanted to wire them for the neck to be coil split south, and the bridge to be coil split north. However this is causing the pickups to be out of phase in the middle position which I do not want. I thought I would be able...
