Re: PRS pickups: Diagram Needed: 2 humbuckers & 5-way super switch The switch is an Oak Grigsby. Can you determine if my wire swaps actually put parallel bridge on position 4? ⁴ This is my ideal configuration, but I don't think it's possible with the single split wire. If we can do it, then...

I despise pull/push pots and mini toggles for coil splitting and refuse to consider it. OK, that's out of the way. Want to install a new set of PRS 57/08 humbuckers and a 5-way super switch in my S2 Standard 22. I am dead set against using the limited proprietary PRS 5-way. The problem I'm...

Re: Ibanez HH 5 Way Switch With Duncans Sorry, here is the diagram you'd want for 1V and 1T

Re: Ibanez HH 5 Way Switch With Duncans This wiring is definitely possible with a 5-way super switch, and all positions can be hum canceling. I too chased this scheme and never could get any help putting a correct diagram together that actually worked and where all positions were hum...

Sticker is authentic PAF, nickel covers, brass phillips screws in baseplate, black hookup wires to each bobbin, paper tape around bobbins, standard size long magnet (2.5" x .5" x .125"). Bridge measures 8.23K out of circuit and neck measures 8.13K. What do we have here? Here are some pictures...

Right now I have a PGn wired in parallel for my #4 position, but I'm wondering if there's a better neck pickup to wire in parallel? The PGn neck sounds good, but maybe not as clean and clear as I'd hoped. The bridge pu is also a PGb, but I plan to wire a second guitar that'll have a 59/C in...

Re: Are these Shaw-era or T-Top humbuckers? The guitar was completed June 17, 1980. Looks like these are T tops with white spacers. The magnet is rough but doesn't look extra thick to my untrained eyes. Both appear to be built identical. Since they're in such good condition, I'm not...

Have a 1980 LP Custom on the bench. Owner wants info on the pickups. I believe them to be Shaw era, but many of you here are expert on the subject, so we're running it by you. Bridge 7.59k (April 23, 1980) Neck 7.57k (April 7, 1980) Here are some shots

Re: Anyone ever swap magnets in a Fender humbucker? OK, installed a rough A2 this morning and it sounds a good bit better to my ears. All three pots are 250K audio taper. Specifically, it now has more bass that's surprisingly firm, and the upper mids are less strident, and the highs are...

I have a newly-acquired MIM Standard HSS with maple fretboard. I actually like the two single coils a LOT - enough that I plan to keep them, but the humbucker is just too brash even when lowered down low. Before I swap it out, I wondered if a magnet change would smooth out the highs? I'd...

I have two positions out of phase in a HH configuration. Please read all the info because everything you'll need to help is included below, I hope. Two Humbuckers Ibanez 3PS1SC5 switch Porter Pickups Classic Humbuckers NS = Black NF = Green SF = White SS = Red The 3PS1SC5 switch is...

Re: HSH recommendation for strat This one's pretty easy for me Bill Lawrence (Wydle Pickups) L500XL L280 L500XL Normal 5-way switch is all you need. 500K audio taper pots - consider no-load 500K for the tone controls

Re: Flat Pole Strat Magnet Measurements? The info provided to you on the other forum defines these dimensions as Strat Straight, Flat 70's
