Some times i wonder who is endorsing who! Artists that created brand recognision for me or i knew them before i figured they use duncans: slash Dime Warren Haynes Lemmy David Gilmour Yngwie Mustaine Wes Borland Robben Ford Peter Frampton Billy Gibbons Joe Perry Gilby Clarke (Hendrix) (Page)...

steve stevens rig rundown with Frank Falbo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUfjN0dbJ7U

demands: 1) CHROME plating. 2) straigth plates, not curved like the TVJ bridge plates. 3) Output: noticable hotter than the TVJ neck, which is 4 kOhms or better 1.81 H.

series cap to taste. i would start with 10nF which is 0.01uF. 4.7nF is most of the time too much bass cut for me. but 6.8nf or 4,7 || 2.2 nF ist sometimes perfect. It depends on the pickup (DCR and L) though. more than 10nF it gets more and more unnoticeable. you can also wire a parallel...

will remove the pickguard protection foil at one point

Well I never tried something of the Bill Lawrence/ Wylde stuff and I am sure they will match even better, but I never have seen this combo mentioned before so I though I throw it out there. Had a lot of pickups in this guitar already (AHB-1s, EMG 60/81, AHB-3s, SH-6s) and while they all where...

It's funny that if you place a neck humbucker like the SH-1n in the bridge the brightness increase is quite drastic (if i remember correctly) , although it's just a few turn counts less (at about 93%) which results in about 0.6 kOhms DCR. I got a tele bridge single coil and it's between 9k and...

at the same time as the SH-2 Jazz, since it's just a mag swap away? also quite funny, that the "Standard Humbucker" SH-2 with a mag swap is named "Alnico 2 Pro Humbucker" APH-1, but The StagMag SH-3 (ALnico Polepieces) and the Dime SH-13 (rails, non Standard dimensions) which are not total...

Wanted to try this for quite some time now. but lately was more playing and practicing:wink:. moved the 3 hex from the demon plain strings to the 59n wound strings. the neck wound strings on the 59n definitely got a sharper attack (nice!) and are less boomy. Noticeable clearer. i wanted the...

Interested in a DiMarzio Blaze Neck Pickup. Is there anything close/comparable in the Duncan Line?

For old times sake i want to mess around with some slash tunes. i got one light very mid heavy Les Paul classic which is not very beefy. or a heavy one with a lot more bass and low mids and not too prominent mids. which one would be closer to the derrig? so the one with the derrig...

whole duncan range if possible but happy for any feedback. least squish -> most squish specially interested in demon, 59n, jazzN, PGn, sentient, APH-1, WLHn

the idea of a firebird neck in a tele was long planted in my head when i read jeremy raving about them. I know it's not a mini humbucker but i guess it will have more output than a regular tele neck pickup. But how hot is it? comparable to a filtertron? a strat pickup? which tele bridge PU is a...

putting back a trembucker from a double thick mag to original. i have no space for the second wood spacer! is the 2nd spacer original or did i borrow it from another pickup??? i don’t remember. to make it short: duncan trembucker contains one or two spacers???
