    Re: New Guy here.

    The only way I know to get a magnet from Duncan is to buy a pickup with it.

      Seriously man, two-fiddy. I'm generous like that.

            New Guy here.

            You never know. I had a USA mahogany Jackson JJP, only about 50 made and I gave it away. It only had one humbucker. I tried to sell it and no one would give me anything for it, so I donated it to the Toby Keith foundation. When kids are in cancer treatment it gives the parents a place to stay, clean sheets, meals, etc. I check on google to see where it ended up but so far it hasn’t surfaced. It’s a shame Toby met one of my guitars and never met me, lol.

              I lurked around and found a SD page for custom Shop Pickups. I emailed and asked if I could purchase one from the factory. I thought I saw a magnet on StewMac but I would still want to get one from SD. I also found a page on here that showed the steps for replacing the magnet. Do factory pickups have wax in them?

                Most do. The Antiquity and Seth Lover don't, for instance. Usually the description on the individual page will tell you.

                  If I disturb the wax, will that have an effect on feedback or some other problem?

                    Some people re-pot them. I didn't, and I never had issues with squealing. But I don't use a ton of gain and volume, either.

                      Re: New Guy here.

                      As long as I have been playing, I am pretty happy with my rig. JCM800 with Sovtek EL34s, running in a cabinet with vintage 30s. I’m so close to perfect but there’s always that little bit of tweak that makes you curious.

                        I think that is the same with all of us. The trick is to remember to play rather than spend all your time chasing the last 3%.
