    Two New Billy Gibbons Signature Pickups

    Well, which is it? I've been looking for a hotter PAF style with an A2 mid-push and disappointed that pretty much every pickup on the Duncan website has a scooped EQ, so much so it makes me think it's all incorrect info. Because this one literally says mid-forward and is sig to a player known...

    FS: Pearly Gates Custom Shop PAF Set (wound by MJ)

    SOLD Just bought these new and tried them in my Les Paul. They are like the regular PG set in general but the bridge is a little hotter than the stock set and with a very noticeable increase in clarity across all the strings. I opted for a higher output custom bridge so I'm moving these. They...

    Mag swap Antiquity humbucker - which one?

    I have a set of double cream Ants in an Eastman Les Paul (awesome LP by the way) and in this one the bridge isn't quite what I'm looking for. I'm looking to tighten things up just a tad and add a little umph to it without sacrificing too much from the classic character of the Ant which is very...

    Anyone know what the Duncan DA 59 made for D’Angelico Guitars is?

    Anyone know what the Duncan DA 59 made for D’Angelico Guitars is? Is it just a regular 59 relabeled for OEM use, or does it differ somehow?

    Brightest Duncan neck humbucker?

    Looking for a neck humbucker in the PAF family that’s on the brighter side with more Fender snap than dark wooly woman tone. Going into a ‘78 Les Paul custom with an SH-5 bridge. Antiquity? PG? Seth? Thx

    SH-5 sounding a bit thin and annoyingly middy?

    Re: SH-5 sounding a bit thin and annoyingly middy? I'm going to replace the (1979) pots and mess with some adjustments. If that doesn't work I'll try some different pickups and if I don't find what I'm looking for I'll flip the guitar and move on. I hope it works out though, it's a friggin'...

    SH-5 sounding a bit thin and annoyingly middy?

    Just put an SH-5/PGn in an old Les Paul Custom and the bridge in particular sounds really thin and annoyingly middy the higher up on the register you go. The low chords and such sound big and full, but soloing notes up high are kinda shrill and plinky. I have another LP Custom with an EMG 81 and...

    Which is beefier - Tele Quater Pound or BF 1400 Gibbons stacked custom shop ?

    I actually have both in my parts drawer, but have never used either. Looking to put one into an ash partsocaster Tele that currently has a Zhangbucker Super Paul Bunyan. The Zhang is a mighty pickup in it's own right, but there's an annoying mid thing going on I can't dial out. I don't know if...
