Schecter Ultra III with microphonic Duncan Designed FG-101s

[blesscurse]

I have a Schecter Ultra III. At even moderate gain levels I find that the FG-101s are quite microphonic. Has anyone tried (re)potting these pickups?

if the pups are the reason thats causing the squeal then they need to be repotted and it wont hurt anything as long as its done correctly

The pickups were re-potted twice, but the design is such that the wax is not absorbed. No change in microphonics.

Try removing the poles when you repott and the wax will penetrate better.
