    Trying to Decide on Pickup Swap

    Gibson SG Standard, currently has a 59/Custom Hybrid in the bridge, a Jazz in the neck. Both have zebra covers and I want to go back to nickel. Epi Les Paul, currently has a Whole Lotta Humbucker set, nickel covers, 4-wire leads. A set of Seth Lovers arrive tomorrow. Single core braided...

    Three Pickup SG?

    Thinking about a project which would see a three pickup SG style body. Don't laugh, it just will, okay? I'm thinking about a Pearly Gates set for the bridge and neck, but what would I put in the middle? Also, what switch would you use, and how would you wire the switch? Two options that just...

    Question about SD Mini Humbuckers

    Thanks for the advice guys! The Firebird arrived earlier this week and the set of SM-1s should arrive by Friday. I'm planning on a complete re-do, reversible if I ever so choose, with the SM-1s, new CTS pots and small orange drops (nothing wrong with either as fitted, but easier to keep those...

    Question about SD Mini Humbuckers

    It Might Get Loud!

    I added four plate voltage probes, one from each. EL34 socket pin 5, plus a ground on the back wall. I used a spare hole and positioned a trim pot behind it (after this pic was taken - its in the big hole to the left of the probe). Now I can bias the thing without sticking multimeter probes...
