Epi LP + SH5 fail - need suggestions for another Bridge pup

Re: Epi LP + SH5 fail - need suggestions for another Bridge pup

When I asked my friend, he just said it seemed like the guy who did the wiring before wasn't too familiar with the SD colour code and left it at that.

Glad you got it sorted and REALLY glad you liked the A8 ;) It's a double-happy ending!

Sounds like it could be that he wired it with one coil shorted out/split mode and didn't realize it because he didn't understand the color code.

Awesome man. I started just like you. The Sh5 was my first Duncan pickup and I loved it for a long time. Still do, but I did the swap to the A8 and it worked wonders for me. Great pickup. But after several years I swapped out the A8 for the big ceramic from the Duncan Distortion (not the regular sized ceramic that is stock in the Sh5). I put that setup in my les paul and I won't be going back for a while. It gives the les paul power, punch and grind. It makes it a les paul killer!. Not trying to get you to swap mags again, Im glad you found what you were looking for. Just another testament that mag swaps are easy and provide a myriad of tones with a simple mod. Especially in the custom.. cheers
