Pickup Peeps, I bought a Hot Stack for tele, and, since I have a 'swimming pool' route under the pickgaurd, I can go with any number of neck solutions. I would like it to be one pickup that is capable of respectable jazz tones, and can compete with the output of the Hot Stack. So far, I've been...

Pickup gurus, I have a set of Fender Custom Shop '69 pickups in my Strat. I'm happy as a clam with positions 2-5, but the bridge, by itself, leaves a bit to be desired. I'm looking for a single coil solution for the bridge that won't spoil the great quack that I'm getting in position 2. When...

I just received an AHB-2 Blackouts bridge humbucker, with the intention of wiring it to a push/pull pot, as it says on the Duncan website product description. However, I am unable to find a wiring diagram of this mod, and it is not clear from looking at the pickup, either. Has anyone done this...

Has anyone tried the Blackouts single-coil bridge pickup? I'm using the blackouts humbucker in my current guitar, but I'm going to have to sell it. The one I'm left with is only routed for singles.

Are any of you guys using the Livewire Classic pickups for clean tones? I mean true cleans like jazz, not like a chord picking thing from a deathmetal tune. No offense to metal players, but I'd really like to hear from some clean connesuirs. I have a set of Blackout AHB-1 pickups in a hardtail...

Hello Loungers, I am putting together a strat that is in an HSH format, and I would like some advice. My 2 current favs for humbuckers is a Gibson '57 Classic in the neck, and a Gibson Burstbucker Pro in the bridge. Both of these are 2 conductor. I'm wondering what f-spaced, 4 conductor Duncans...

Hello everyone! This is my first post to the forum, and I'm hoping the pickup gurus here can lend me their insight. I have a set of very vintage sounding strat pickups (6-7k), and I love the tones I get between positions 2-5. I have always really loved the 'traditional' strat tones in these...
