Anyone know if theres a reason why Aria (on my PE DLX at least), wire the pick up to the middle pin on the volume pot and not the end as say a Gibson Les Paul or most other guitars???? Is there any benefits or downsides to this? Cheers

Hi Just ordered a set, can the bridge pick up be mounted so the cream coil is near the bridge??? just wondered cheers

Hi I want to replace the standard pick ups with some new ones, the guitar is Les Paul shaped and has a Alder body with Maple cap, Rosewood finger board and gold plated hardware. Can't decide between the sets that Seymour does, JB and Jazz set, the Slash set and i think the Pearly gates. Anyone...

On these pick-ups are the pole pieces different, i.e. the bridge having a bigger gap due to the slant of the pup in a Strat. I have a bridge version fitted in the neck postion and the pole pieces are way out over the two E strings by about 3-4mm. If i bought a neck/middle version would the pole...

I ordered a Dimazio Fred for my Ibanez RG1570, but i did n;t get the F spaced version, so the pole pieces are out of line slightly, but the does guitar sound great though!! Is it worth while selling this and replacing it with a F spaced version or should i just keep it as the F spaced version...

Anybody tried these, would it complement my FRED and PAF PRO as a middle pup for my Ibanez RG1570? I'm thinking that that Fast track 1 might be better as from what i understand the Fast Track 2 is a hot pup like the hot rails, and for a middle pup i want something with a little less output for...

Does it matter if the pick-ups are not in secure and wobble about a little bit? I have installed a Dimazio Fred and PAF Pro in my Ibanez RG1570 and to get the pups to the recommened height of 3mm below the strings they are unstable. Will this affect the sound?? If it does what is the best...

I have a Ibanez RG1570 with V7 and V8 pups. I have ordered a Dimarzio Fred (BRIDGE) and Dimarzio PAF Pro (NECK). I am hoping there will be a noticeable difference in the sound, hopefully for the better! Any body got any thoughts, or have had a similar expeience with this set up? Should i have...

What is F spacing, can any guitar have F spaced pups!!!!!!!!!

Hi I have just treated myself to a new Ibanez RG1570, lovely guitar, thin neck, low action and a dream to play etc!!!! Anyway, i was thinking of changing the pups, can't make my mind to go for option 1, Dimarzio Fred (bridge) Dimarzio PAF pro (neck) Seymour Duncan cool rails (middle), would...

Is it worth phase reversing ? I am thinking of doing this with a duckbucker (middle) the one that will be reversed,and a 59 (neck) and a custom (bridge). Willit give a usable sound??

I was thinking of wiring my strat with a Master TBX tone control and using the redundant tone control as a variable coil splitter for a lil 59 neck pick-up. Mainly to coil split the 59 because i don;t want any unsed switches, pots on my guitar, and it seemed a good idea to use this pot without...

I have a Strat with a lil 59 neck, duckbucker middle and a hot rails bridge, and a tbx tone control. i was thinking of adding 2 push pull pots to split the coils in the 59 and hot rails, is this worth doing or not. Do these 2 pick-ups sound good split?

Hi i have a Washburn x25 and was thinking about a JB in the bridge, a Jazz in the neck and a hot rails in the middle postion, would this be a good balance between guitar, price and tone!!! Or can any one help with any other alternative suggestions? I like to play heavy rock music, but i also...

hI, i have fitted a custom and a 59 to my 7 string washburn, what a lovely rock sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also i have fitted a Fender TBX tone control , Fender 5 way switch and a new 500k volume control. Although the guitar rocks i have one problem i am hoping someone may be able to help me with...
