    Brass Baseplates Quality: PRS VS DiMarzio

    I would like to get a set of PRS 245 (USA) pickups. I have always preferred nickel silver baseplates, but just want to add a set of PRS pickups to my collection. From what I see on the Internet, it looks like the PRS baseplates do not rust much. DiMarzio baseplates, on the other hand, rust...

    Antiquity humbucker DC unusually hot

    Just installed SHPG1n and SH11 in LTD H-101FM

    Just installed SHPG1n and SH11 in LTD H-101FM. The SHPG1n is sweet and articulate, both clean and distorted.

    Demagnetization Question

    Sorry if this question sounds dumb. A couple of days ago I used a small magnet rod (those cheap stationery set, USD$1 for 3) to pass over my Duncan single coils to test the polarity. It was only after this that I realized there might be a degauss problem. Now I use a compass. But is it...

    3 sets of pickups I've played recently

    PATB-2: This is a big surprise. With a ceramic magnet and >20k, amazingly it has that hi-fi sound.

    Phat Cat Neck + Custom Custom Bridge Wiring Question

    Hi, I have a Phat Cat Neck + Custom Custom Bridge combo. Since I read that a Phat Cat Neck is north-oriented, I was wondering if I could get both pickups in-phase and hum-cancelling just by swapping the green and black leads on the Custom Custom? Any input would be appreciated. Thanks~!

    SH-6 Neck and SH-5 Bridge?

    Hi everyone, Greetings. This is my first post. I was searching for info about this combo (SH-6 Neck and SH-5 Bridge) but it seems there is little info. I was wondering if they would be balanced, i.e. the SH-6 Neck would overpower the SH-5 Bridge. Any thoughts, please? Thanks!
