Let me know what you have and what you want for them! I also have other humbuckers to trade if that is of interest. Thanks!

For sale is a set of Duncan Antiquity Jazz and JBs. Original box, papers, bags, etc. I have the original magnets that these came with, but thought that I might warm to the tone more if I tried an A4 in the neck and A2 in the bridge (what the custom shop calls the "Crème Brulee" set). So, I...

I have a set of Tom Short Marc Ford humbuckers and Duncan Antiquities, both with A2s - love them both but want some variety. I am looking for something with A5s or A4s to mix things up . . . let me know what you have - interested in sheptones, fralins, skatterbranes, but always willing to...

I have a set of Amalfitano PAFs and Voodoo TE60 GR/longneck telecaster pickups. Both are in excellent condition w/ lots of lead. Amalfitanos have nickel covers & Vintage braided lead. How about $225 for the Amalfitanos ($350/new) and $140 for the Voodoos - thanks! re: trades - I am more than...

I have a telecaster body that I would like to install a 59 humbucker in the neck, an APS-2 strat pickup in the middle, and an aniquity tele bridge pickup--basically, my favorite pickups in my favorite body. If anyone can help me - (1) is there an easy way to be able to split the 59 neck (it is...

I recently acquired an old Duncan Quarter Pounder - sounds fantastic, but does not seem to work with any of the current pickup cover, as it is a bit taller. Anyone know if those covers are still available or if there is another company that makes something that might work? Thanks!

Hi, I am looking to start in on a tele project - if anyone has a tele body that they're looking to part with, let me know! I have a fantastic neck and set of pickups just waiting for it . . . thanks!

I am working on assembling a partscaster, and just purchased a telecaster body. I am looking for a neck in fairly good condition, and vintage -sounding pickups (not interested in hot rails, but fairly wide open after that). If you have either, let me know and we'll see if we can work something...

Hi, I have a HSH that I am working on and wondered what most folks use for the tone/volume pots? 500K? For the cap, is .022 the standard? Thank you very much!

Is it possible to wire a strat HSH with a push pull switch so that when its down you can have: 1 - Neck humbucker 2 - Split coil of neck HB with middle single-coil 3 - Both HB 4 - Split coil of bridge HB with middle single-coil 5 - Bridge humbucker And with push-push pulled: 1 -...

My plan was to assemble a HSS with a Fralin trembucker in the bridge, and a vintage hot in the middle and neck. I planned to use a 500k pot for the bridge pot with a.022 cap, and a 250k pot for the neck and middle with a .047 cap. For the volume pot, I planned to use a 250k pot . . . does this...

I saw this on youtube and thought it was interesting - in effect, what it looks like the guy is doing in wiring two single coil pickups (fralin split blade) next to each other in the bridge position, using one that is a lefty pickup. Has anyone ever tried this? If I have a set of pickups would I...

I have what may be a very basic question - I finally decided on a set of pickups and have A2 magnets for the bridge pickup and A5 for the middle (which is RW/RP) and neck. I was set to wire them standard, but have seen folks on the forum suggest wiring them in the following manner: 1. Use the...

I am trying to get a sense of how an A2 is different than an A5, tone wise - for example, if I had an A2 and an A5, each with the same wind and same wire, am I right to expect that the A2 would be darker sounding, while the A5 would be hotter? Is one more prone to producing the "quack" in 2 & 4...

I have an Ibanez Artcore AF-95 in excellent condition with a hardshell case. The pickups were swapped out for Seymour Duncan SH-2 (neck) and SH-4 (bridge) with gold covers. I am interested in either a strat or tele and would add $$$ for the right guitar. Let me know if you are interested - thank...
