Hey all, I have the Antiquity humbucker set in my LP and it's close to being just right, but I wish the bridge pup was a bit thicker sounding compared to the neck pup. I'm a home player using basic gear. Fender SDXD channel one with a Barber DDSS for drive. I've tried different PIO cap values...

I have a Mahogany body & neck Warmoth Tele 2xhum, with a 59 neck & JB bridge and the guitar is overly bright sounding. Any replacement ideas for your basic blues & rock tones? Thanks. Steve

Anyone have experience with Duncan Hot Rails? Jack Pearson (?) who played with the Allman Bros. way back, swore by them. I have also read every possible opinion of these pups from being great to dismal. I'm really comfortable with Strats & Teles so I'm trying to get a fat 'bucker sound from one...

I will be building a Warmoth hollow body Strat in the coming weeks and would like to hear some opinions on humbuckers to be installed. The body is made of Makorie which is Maple like in it's tone, but again the body is hollow (chambered). I won't know if brightness will be an issue until I try...

I replaced my LP pups with Alnico Pro II humbuckers and like 'em. Now I would like to try Alnico Pro II single coils in my Strat. Anyone use them? I was considering Fralin Vintage Hots, but the Duncans are less expensive and wondered how they compare. Steve

I'm leaning towards a set of Alnico Pro IIs for my LP. I play styles from the main four; Blues, Jazz (kinda), Rock & Country, but all pretty much rooted in blues. Would like a nice balanced set not overly voice in the mids. I have been offered many suggestions but it's hard to know until you...
