I used to have an addiction to exploring pickups, many guitars, and hardcore GAS. I still have 1 of my guitars, but have gone down the DJ/Producer route with my GAS energy. Selling these to simplify and fund other stuff. Some are NIB. Pricing set to Used Perfect Condition: 70% of Retail Suhr...

Which battery pack should I order for my PRS? Is the classic humbucker genuinely comparable to PAF repros from today's boutique companies or are there trade offs?

http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/pickups/56165-why-isnt-seymour-duncan-sh-1-59-considered-great-paf-style-pickup-6.html Ed Hunter's post toward the bottom of this page is very intriguing. If you guys at corporate are reading this, I think the market is begging for a roughcast option or even just...

Are the humbuckers also able to be coil tapped for a 5 way switch? I'd ideally think there would be customers for the classic humbuckers wanting them in a PRS Custom 22/24 with a 5 way. Also, the Modern Humbucker could not only be popular with the PRS 5 way crowd but also the Super-strat...

With all the PAF replicas on the market these days, it seems like one of the best ways to get a whole crowd of "cork sniffers" back into buying 59s would be to do something "special" with them. Why not have mass production replicas of old school MJ winds? Tell the stories of old. Talk about...

As stated above, regular spacing, nickel covers Open to both braided and 4 conductor

These have maybe 1.5 hours play time on them. Realized that I'm just really a PAF guy. Never soldered, used the Duncan Liberator for connections. All the lead wire is intact. $80 shipped for the set with Paypal Gift and no tracking number/shipping insurance $90 for regular paypal purchase...

Still swap in a 2 conductor paf style pickup? For reference, I'm thinking of putting a liberator in my DGT, which is a 3 way with a push/ pull coil tap. Would a 2 conductor braid style pickup just not split but still work in humbucker mode or would I have to stick with 4 conductor pickups...

So I have some Antiquity PAF Buckers, Bonamassa Buckers and Dimarzio 36th and they all have this common "sizzle" or "electronics breaking up" type sound that adds an extra dimension to the sound. Having compared the 36th to Air classics, the air classics are much "cleaner" and don't have this...

Got a mad PAF style pickup addiction :)

I'm located in the lower USA

Curious, anybody know a year?

I'm curious if there's something one could do on a Les Paul that would allow one of the knobs to become push/pull on/off for the preamp so that it could be switched between PAF and metal? I would be so happy. Would also be ok with going to one volume/one tone or two volume/one tone if needed :)

All original packaging. Only installed with Duncan Liberator Solderless System, so the end of the braided wire is "parted" but completely intact and full/original length. Seattle local. Asking $130 shipped. Buyer pays insurance if they want it. I'm a semi public business guy and happy to...

It seems that once installed, your guitar is fixed to active. Is there a way to turn it on/off? For example: one installs SD59 set and turns on active - crushing metal - turns it off - PAF heaven?
