i like the paf pro a lot for what it is. i was horribly disappointed by the 36th anniversary.

oh i disagree! i have never been more interested in that pickup than i am right now!

i can't speak to the pickups you mention, but i have a jazz bridge in the neck of a les paul and it is awesome. i could see a 78 working well.

i've found buying used dimarzios is an easy way around supporting the company while getting a sweet double cream super distortion in a les paul. of course i don't have a problem with them in the first place. the AT-1 and Super 3 are awesome humbuckers and the Twang King neck is amazing.

i was going to say the tony iommi model that became the el diablo, but that was a blade pickup. were there 2 iommi models? it gets confusing.

These 2 seem pretty similar, as far as I know both are hotter takes on a Pearly Gates, same magnet, similar DCR. Curious to any major differences between the two.

i love my purple guitars

i thought finding one of these cheap on ebay/reverb would be no problem seeing as it's one of the most classic humbuckers of all time, but no. Not trying to lowball anyone here but if anyone has a double cream dimarzio super distortion they are willing to part with for around $50-$60 or so (I'm...

Looking at this diagram, i had a question. I have no issues with doing the wiring but wasn't sure of the end result. It is a 3 humbucker les paul style guitar. It looks to me like the wiring here would make the toggle switch work like a traditional 2 hum LP (Bridge, neck and bridge, and neck)...

I'm coming in a little late to the party and a little behind but here is a shot of all of the cream/zebra pickups I could dig up fro my collection today. For the most part they are all pretty similar but except for the donlis/guitar madness buckers (which i would be willing to bet are the same...

Hey everyone, I'm having issues with a Gibson SG. I'm not necessarily asking for anyone to diagnose it (although that'd be great), but more what I can check to find out where the issue is. The issue is the neck pickup. It used to work and cut out every now and then. now it just has insanely...

they did for a while, not sure if it's still offered. I thought they looked great, but if you wanted double cream it didn't quite scratch the itch IMO.

agreed. i built a jake style partscaster (hardtail alder body) with sds1's and an ah-1 and it sounds really good. personally i wouldn't mess with the ESP, but hey, it's your guitar. go for it! *edit* i just saw you're getting a whole new pickguard set up for the pickup swap. good idea!

Very Bruce Kulick!

Sure! It was pretty straight forward, my first attempt at a refin. Two tone sparkle snakeskin was probably biting off more than i could chew, but i was in lock down and had plenty of time on my hands. Basically i had the purple baretta that I took apart, a snakeskin stencil i got off ebay, and a...
