UGD pickups

[WGTP]

Tell us about the UGD pickups you lucky dogs made.

Also, any info on the S-Deco or other info you can share.

Re: UGD pickups

I "wound" an S-Deco:

Well the black pup is the S-Deco while the pink/yellow pup is an early 1990s Screaming Demon. On the S-Deco I got trembucker spacing with an Alnico 5 magnet; I asked for a logo but I guess they were out of logo bobbins in trembucker spacing? :scratchch

I also got MJ to autograph the baseplate!

As far as info is concerned I have yet to install it on a guitar. I plan to couple this bridge pup with perhaps a Full Shred on the neck. : private:

Re: UGD pickups

I made a gold Brobucker that has matched coils, factory potted, wire braided 2 lead, and measures 9.8K. My wife was with me, so we both qualified for a pickup, and I did 2 of the same. One for my SG Diablo bridge and Burstbucker 1 neck. The other for my LP Custom Black Beauty with 59's in the neck and middle. The Brobucker will go in the bridge, but I haven't gotten to it yet.

In the SG, the Brobucker sounds amazing. So balanced, tight, and musical from cleans to highgain. It sits somewhere between the 59 and C5. The Burstbucker 1 is basically a Gibson PAF, so I love it in the neck. And the best feature is the middle position with the Brobucker and Burstbucker 1. It's possibly the best middle position I've ever heard.

Re: UGD pickups

So wait you guys that wound your own pickups were able to install them in your guitar at the Seymour Duncan factory? Details please...

Re: UGD pickups

I wound a vintage style telecaster pickup. Actually I started it and MJ jumped in when my technique was wrong and she finessed the winding to keep it even. I installed the pup in a tele I was painting. Still not finished. I'll post pics later...
