I ordered a set of OX4 new from an authorized dealer but I have some concerns about legitimacy and I'm hoping someone here can help. I took some pictures of one of the pickups and it's got me concerned about its provenance.

I'm liking this set but I'd like the bridge to be a bit tighter and modern. Can I use any standard SD bucker in the bridge, keep the neck and still get the OOP sound of the set? Or changing the magnet from a2 to a5? What would you recommend? Sent from my Pixel 4a (5G) using Tapatalk

I love my set of Pure Vintage 52s but the bridge is very microphonic. It has a sweet midrange with no ice pick but still a tight bass. It has A3 magnets. What pickups will get me close to that sound but with less microphonic feedback (though that can be fun)? I noticed there's not an A3...

Just received my Green Magic set and I was wondering if I need to install the neck pickup with the screw coil toward the bridge like in the Andy Demos video? Or does it matter? The instructions with the pickups didn't say and they came in the box with the traditional orientation with screw...

I got the Sentient / Pegasus pickup set and I love the neck, it's nice clean and open. The Pegasus is a bit too nasally for my taste. I'd like something as equally open with maybe a slight high mid boost (like 2k or more) so I can still get the squealies but when playing clean or mostly clean...

I like my PRS Zach Myers and the output level of the pickups. But I'd like something that is more articulate with distortion. I quite like the Burstbucker Pros in My LP Faded and want something similar but not so expensive. Any suggestions? I've looked at a Pearly Gates set, Seth Lover and...

Recently got an Epiphone 335 Pro with the Alnico Pro pickups. I'm liking the bridge but the neck feels a little boomy. I'm wanting something tighter (less bassy) but still warm for jazzy tones. I know some have said the 59 but I've heard it's too boomy and I'm not sure if the PG or A2Ps will...

I have an Ibanez RG with a Floyd. It's HSH configuration. I'm thinking of getting the Dimebag set but I was wondering what middle pickup to get. The factory single is ok. This guitar mostly does very heavy dropped stuff but I want something that will clean up. Thanks Sent from my Pixel...

I just recently got an Ibanez RG350D and want to put some new pups in it. I'm thinking I'll need a Trembucker. But what really has me worried is dealing with the bridge. This is my first Floyd (mostly for reasons like this) and I'm a bit intimidated by doing a pickup change in it. It's...

So I got an Ibanez RG 350 and I want to upgrade the pups. I'm looking at a Jason Becker Perpetual Burn in the bridge and a Full Shred in the neck. So what would be a good middle pickup (single size). Also I want this to be pretty flexible so I can play stuff like The Offspring and roll off...

I'm going to get the Sterling version of the St Vincent signature model and I would like to have pickups that closely match the custom Mini-Hums from Dimarzio. On the Dimarzio website they only have their vintage model for sale. Can anyone tell me if those match the sound of the guitar or know...

This looks really interesting. It's set neck, mahogany and two HBs (a full and a single sized). I have a SH-5 right now and a Dimarzio Chopper. I'm thinking that if all is good but the electronics it might be worth it. Anyone played one? They don't have any at my local GC. We only have the...

I'm looking into getting a dual p90 axe and I've been thinking about possibly putting in something a little more modern. I know that SD has a p90 Stack and the p90 Custom (which I'm liking), but Dimarzio has the p90 size versions of the Tone Zone and the Super Distortion. Anyone have...

Re: Picking a P-90 Guitar These are some great suggestions! As to the p90 / HB combo, what do you guys know about G&L Tribute series? They have one called Irish Ale http://www.guitarcenter.com/GL/Tribute-ASAT-Junior-II-Electric-Guitar-Irish-Ale-1375800275304.gc And one called the Fallout...

I'm in the market for a new guitar here in the next couple of months and I want to go p90. I've looked at Phat Cats and PRails but I'm thinking a proper P90 would be better. I have some questions about pickup changing. I'm angling for something to play things like Queens of the Stone Age and...
