I was going down a rabbit hole of trying to figure out what Gibson were thinking when they designed the Dirty Fingers (44awg but only 6,000-7,000 turns, 16k DCR, a double thick ceramic magnet, and no wax potting?? So weird!) when I came across this video comparing the Dirty Fingers, Dimarzio...

Hello, It’s been ages since I’ve looked into aftermarket pickups! I have a '15 Ibanez AS-73 semi-hollow, which is 24.75" scale with a maple laminate body, mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard. The pickups are "Classic Elites," which the Ibanez wiki tells me have ceramic magnets with...

I'm looking at the Cool Rails and Dimarzio's Pro Track right now. Any thoughts on a nice, warm but articulate single-coil sized humbucker for a neck position? Pairing it with a slightly hotter than vintage tele bridge pickup in a junky plywood guitar.

I have a guitar with Filtertrons, one with P-90s, and another with tele pickups; they're all very bright and clear. I'm starting to miss the rich, creamy sound of humbuckers, so I was thinking about getting a cheap guitar and putting nice pickups in it to fill that void. If I wanted to go to...

It's been a super long time since I've posted here! But I remember this being the best place to ask about pickups, so hey what's up. I have a dual humbucker strat that I've had a SD '59 neck and a Dimarzio 36th Anniversary bridge in for a while. I want to change the bridge PAF out for a...

If you've been following my legacy, with everyone's help I picked out this pickup to put in the bridge of my strat to replace a Super Distortion I grew weary of. This pickup is a breath of fresh air. I no longer play much heavy music, and the Super D's low mid spike and high output were really...

So I got a 36th Anniversary and put it in the bridge of my guitar. I've only ever installed pickups once before, and that was probably like four or five years ago. I accidentally singed a white wire going to my second tone knob with the soldering iron, on account of I'm a dumbass. Once I got...

Can we hear a change between 1k? What about 0.50k? or 0.10k? I'm wondering because I don't have a lot of experience with different DC resistance ratings.

Hi! I'm looking to switch the bridge humbucker in my Big Apple Strat, pictured here: A Dimarzio Super Distortion is in there now; I installed it in around 2001 or 2002 when I was playing a lot of metal and hard rock. These days, I play mostly low-gain or clean stuff, so I don't need that...

Does SD? Dimarzio? Anyone? I'm speculating on getting a guitar with P-90s and putting in some aftermarkets with chrome covers instead of plastic. What's available?

Used the search function but couldn't find anything devoted to it. What is this pickup good for? Metal, obviously, but what kind? What are its pros? Its cons? Users! Share your experiences.

Hi! I have a white bridge Pearly Gates Plus humbucker up for trade. I'd like to trade it for ANY high-output Duncan bridge humbucker of pretty much any color (although interesting colors like pink or red would take preference), or a Dimarzio Super Distortion. I'm not on this forum very often...

Hey. I have a GFS Dream 90 (like the Phat Cat) with a chrome cover, but it won't fit in my humbucker-routed pickguard for some reason. I'm hoping that removing the cover will let it fit. How does one remove pickup covers?

Hi. I need a pair of pickup height screws that will fit a Duncan humbucker. Anybody know where I can get some? I was going to use the screws from my stock Epiphone pickups but I guess they have a slightly bigger diameter.
