    Rust on poles

    Gudday all. I've just pulled my Kramer out of it's hardcase, and it appears to have some rust (or some other sort of dusty discoloration) on a couple of the pickup poles. This is a new thing for me - how do I avoid it happening? Seems to be more on the neck pickups than anything else.

    WTT: JB for Humbucker from Hell

    Gudday all, I have a covered JB I'd like to trade for a Humbucker From Hell. Failing that, I can trade a 59n (although that's what teh HFH will replace - it's still being used!) Willy.

    Bill Laurence pickups - eh? what?

    So what's the deal with the Bill Laurence pickups? I understand that you have Bill+Becky vs Bill Laurence, but if I want to buy an L500 - who's would I buy? (does it even matter?) I understand that the original N4 and Dime guitars have the "old" pickups, but the new N4s have the BL-USA, while...

    I wish there was a magic bullet

    Gudday all. Just got a new guitar and I wish there was some pickup out there that would just make me be like "Oh, YEAH" that I could put in it, lol. Anyone wants to help out with suggestions: Mahogany with 3/4inch maple top Set 24fret maple neck with maple fretboard Floyd. Currently it has a...

    Discontinued Duncan? Old catelog?

    Gudday all, I was wondering if there is a resource around for checking out old/discontinued Duncan pickups. One of my students has a Pearl branded MIJ LP copy with a megadrive in the bridge, and something else in the neck position. The "something else" has the usual 6x2 rows of hex screws but...

    Screws or slugs towards the neck?

    Gudday all, Just wondering if the slugs or screws in a humbucker should be towards the neck (in either the bridge/neck pickup positions), and why?

    Still confused by pots...

    Gudday, had a search of the forums and read up, but pots still confuse me. I understand the general theory is 250k for singles, 500k for humbuckers, but does it matter what value is used on a single volume (no tone) guitar? I ask because I'm about to redo the electrics on a couple of alder...

    PATB-2 for sale or trade

    Got a PATB-2 sitting around unused. No brand naming on the pickup itself except for "Trembucker" and assorted Duncan patent details underneath on the baseplate. Measures around 21k on the multimeter, and was working fine when I replaced it with a JB. $50 will get it sent to anywhere in the...

    Is this possible? SuperD + Prails

    Thinking I might do something different with my lesocaster which is currently SuperD/HFH/3way toggle/V/T. I would get a new plate from stewmac - HH,VTT and stick a P-Rails in the neck. Imo, about the only way to run a humbucker in the bridge is wide open and flat out, but I like a variety of...
