Re: WANTED Bridge Humbuckers - Offer them up!
I've got 2 hybrids for sale, I'll try and detail everything that's gone into them.
Firstly, I have an A2 hybrid with one custom wound coil (wound to about 4.55k, similar to the 78 or VHPAF that dimarzio made) and one coil from a custom 5. It has a two screw coils, with the "vhpaf" coil nearest the neck. I've airbuckered exactly half of each coil, so that the magnetic field is strongest near the bridge on the bass strings and near the neck on the treble strings - think of a reversed strat bridge pickup.
I've also replaced 3 of the screws on the coil nearest the bridge with hex screws. In addition, I've snipped the poles flush with the baseplate to more closely simulate a slug coil on the "vhpaf" coil. I've also degaussed the A2 magnet some to bring in the midrange. It's extremely open and dynamic, and vintage-hot in output (about 11.75k)
I also have it's twin, which has a custom 5 slug coil and the other screw coil from the custom wind, the screw coil has the screws on the bass side trimmed as well, but other than that its a standard trembucker.
Unfortunately, it's black and white. I have it's twin which is white and black too, but no double black trembuckers...
PM me if you're interested!
edit: the one with A2 has a logo on it, the one with A5 does not.

"Willing to try anything..." he says, and then gets picky on us. :laugh:
I have a black F spaced Dimarzio PAF Pro that I'll let go. I'd have to look at it again to see if the logo is stamped on it.

Okay let me elaborate. the humbucker that goes intomy final project WILL have a logo and be black.
But if the price is reasonable. I'm quite willing to try anything as this is a good opportunity for me to buy and try
I'll PM anyone if they have anything I'm looking for
Thanks!
