To my MiM Tele I have added a Seth Lover in the neck and SD Jerry Donahue in the bridge. I have followed the wiring as attached here. The HB sounds sweet and I believe is the best humbucker sound I've ever heard. Nevertheless, the bridge pickup sounds a bit harsh. I have tried adding a 470 ohm...

My AO 50s Tele started having a problem recently, where the neck pickup stopped working randomly. I opened up the control plate, de-soldered the pickup, checked it, seemed to be working fine, re-soldered back and the same problem happened again. I assumed it was the switch, so I went to the...

A few years ago I was given two SSL-1 pickups, stashed them somewhere and never found them again. In any case, my wife stumbled upon them today and one seems to be a normal one, while the other seems to be the middle RWRP. Their readings are 6.3ohm and 6.0ohm (for the RWRP). Isn't this a bit...

A guy locally is selling a JB for 70$. I have never had a JB before and this sounds like a reasonable price, but was wondering does it look fake to you? All my SDs that I have have small notches next to the pickup "leg", while this one seems to be missing it.

Today I got an interesting Christmas present, in the form of a neck pickup for a Tele. It measures 7.4 and has the pole pieces sticking out in the back. No other markings exist on the pickup. Would anyone happen to know which one it might be?

I recently acquired a 1995 Les Paul Classic with the intention of placing a pair of Seth Lovers inside. I already had the Seth Lovers laying around so it was no big deal, but the pickups sound so sweet that I doubt they are the original 490s that were supposed to come with this guitar and which...

I have a Boss CE-2 which I haven't used in a number of years, but was working perfectly fine the last time I had interactions with it. Took it out today, put in the battery, but I can't seem to hear any effect. Also, if I strum really hard at times the volume drops significantly, similar as to...

Re: Which pickup is this S6205/6/7? Means knowledge and field (potato, corn, etc). Basically it used to be a running joke on an agricultural show on TV in the 80s. In the meantime I googled the pickup and it seems more people were wondering the same thing as they were taking them out of...

I just bought a Fender Stratocaster American Series from 2011 and opened it up and found the pickups which are on a plastic bobbin and labeled as S6205 (neck), S6206 (mid), S6207 (bridge), have plastic wiring and have the code 016750 stamped on the bobbin. I will anyways replace them as I...

Lately I seem to have a lot of pickups laying around and quite a good portion of them (Fender ones especially) have no markings on them and sometimes I have problems remembering which pickups they were. I pack them in cases but sometimes on my workbench they tend to get messed up. I have tried...

I have a Strat which I bought cheap, but always hated the pickups and the HSS configuration it had (it has Tex-Mex single coils and a Diamondback humbucker). I mainly play bluesy rock, venturing sometimes into Pink Floyd territory and just need to swap these pickups out. I have a CS'69 laying...
