Re: Parallel Axis Appreciation Thread Most modern tune-o-matic bridges are F-spaced. I had a 2000 USA Jackson RR1T that I put a PATB-2 into, and it also lined up perfectly. The pickup sounded amazing, and I recently bought another one to put into something else.

Re: I need a decent neck humbucker with a three screw mount rather than two Just drill a new hole between the existing two. I did that to my Carvin years ago.

Re: Look, a Dean Cadillac without the V headstock... And the cheap Korean pickups got upgraded for a set of DiMarzio Breeds. I love this guitar even more now.

Re: Look, a Dean Cadillac without the V headstock... To me, it doesn't look that bad on that Caddy, but it's still rather big and not my thing. Though, without binding, it seems to be not as long and pointy and a little more pleasing. I still prefer the duckbill on mine, or even the old...

Not a huge fan of the big Dean V headstock, and it's hard to find a Cadillac/E'Lite model without one, but I just picked up this E'Lite (pronounced E-Light) with the smaller duck bill headstock. I'd also like to find one with the even smaller shrimp fork headstock.

I've got a JB laying around, as well as a DiMarzio Tone Zone. Thinking of putting the TZ in the bridge of one of my guitars with possibly the JB in the neck. I've always liked warmer/darker pickups in the bridge (and I've always been a TZ fan), with a little brighter pickup in the neck. Would...

Re: What's with the logo? Remove it if you don't like it. Doesn't matter to me whether logos are on there or not. I got two Custom Shop Quarter Pounds... I chose to have one without the logo, just because I didn't think white or silver would look that good on cream. I guess I could have...

I've got two Quarter Pounds in my G&L Legacy with a Lil' Screamin' Demon in the bridge. While I do like the Demon, I want more output with less-scooped mids, slightly less treble. Something that's a little warmer/darker sounding but is not really too overpowering in the bass or mids. Duncan or...

Re: Vivian Campbell's Dio tone from 1984 - which pickups He also had a Jackson Les Paul copy with similar pickups.

Re: Willie Adler Duncan Didn't they go in his signature ESPs?

Been thinking about a different bridge pickup for my G&L Legacy. At the moment, it's got a Lil' Screamin' Demon which I do like, but sometimes I want it to be a little darker/warmer sounding. It's matched up with a couple of CS Quarter Pounds which I'm loving. I just want something with slightly...

I've got this old JB laying around that came out of my 1994 Hamer Special (along with the '59 which I sold). I believe it's original to the guitar. It's a JBG which I believe means it was wound by Gloria Ocompo. Any idea of approximate year?

Are there any single coils (preferably stacked for hum-cancelling) that sound similar in tone (and similar output) to a Custom Custom with its rolled off high end?

Re: SD custom shop one off pickups. I had Custom Shop Quarter Pounds made. Glossy black top for the neck (12.8K calibrated degaussed magnets), and glossy cream for middle (overwound 5% to 14.8k). They're normally 13.4k and only done in matte black on Forbon fiber flatwork instead of the glossy...
