pickup

I got one of those Danhage sigs a while ago. The construction and feel on this thing was nice out of the box but the setup left a lot to be desired. I am a tinkerer so I didn't really worry and changed it to my liking. It took a little more than my other guitars but it's playing great now. I...

I've been looking at getting a bunch of the Bare Knuckle CTS pots and was wondering if any has had any experience with them compared to normal CTS pots? It mentions on their site for their 550K pots that "The increased resistance over standard 500K pots opens out the upper frequency range and...

Hey all, Are there any companies that make custom pickup covers? It's hard to justify almost $400 for a covered set of BKP, and I really like the sound of the Duncans I already have, but I'm having a hard time finding companies that make interesting covers (by "interesting," I mean things like...

Wondering if any of you know of any good switches or buttons that would fit where either the volume knob or switch on my Schecter KM7 MKI without modification. I'm planning on running two humbuckers and I want a 2 way switch/button to select either my bridge or neck pickup while bypassing the...

Title - looking to change out the pickups on a fanned 8 I have and it seems that rewinding may be a simpler (and maybe cheaper) alternative to ordering a custom angled set. If I was to commission this through someone like Lundgren, would it be as simple as saying "hey, make the bridge an M8 and...

Gear Wanted: Dimarzio Liquifire 7 - Only looking for white pickups with gold poles - - If interested I can also trade for a Seymour Duncan Sentient 7 out of my Schecter - Additional Accessories (hardshell case etc): If available would also be interested in buying a new/lightly used 3 way...

Hi, I bought recently a Chapman ML1 Modern Baritone and started adjustments.. Weird thing is with the pickups.. It seems there're no springs nor any foam which could raise a pickup, it's like they are screwed into the wood with no intention of adjustment. Can anybody explain what the heck? :-)...

I just bought a 2007 Schecter Hellraiser and noticed that the earlier version (prior to 2008-ish) had the pickups much closer together than the later version. The bridge pickup appears to be routed further away from the bridge by about half an inch or so by the looks of it on the older version...

Hi there! I am kinda new to this active pickups thing. So far I am happy with the ones I got for my 6 string CGCFAD guitar (EMG 81&85). I've seen there is also a 7 string version but I think I want something different for my 7 string. What I play is heavy chugging riffs on my bridge pickup...

I wanted a cheap project guitar so I grabbed a nice Jackson JS22-7Q that had a scratch and nabbed a Seymour Duncan Sh-5 "Custom" for 7 strings to drop in (btw SD terrible naming conventions like; Custom, there is also a custom custom, what's next a custom special custom special custom?). It...

I want to make a disclaimer that I know nothing about wiring guitars. I plan to learn with a new guitar kit that I'm going to buy soon, but for now I am paying someone else to do it for me because it's an extremely complicated job. Anyway. I tried to get my guitar set up with a luthier who is...

Hey all, Looking to swap out my pickups from my 7 String Harley Benton (pretty sure they come stock with Roswell pickups), and I’m looking for something with a similar character to the Bill Lawrence L500XL but obviously for seven string. I’ve heard that the DiMarzio X2N7 comes close but maybe...

So, I am restoring an Ibanez RG170, I have Floyd swapped it already, but I want to install the Seymour Duncan MH Alpha/Omega signature pickups. After speaking to a representative from Seymour Duncan, he has informed me that both the neck (Alpha) AND the bridge (Omega) are standard spaced. Now...

So, I have an HSH electric guitar that I'm modifying. I want to install some DiMarzio Titans in it, but there are two issues: 1. The guitar is HSH, and I need an additional pickup for the middle position. Is there anything you guys can suggest? And would ANY passive middle pickup be compatible...

Looking to get some help with regards to pickup wiring. I'm a fan of the control setup Misha has on his Jackson guitars with the tone control being a push/pull pot and having it down as off and up as on/active. Does anyone know what the wiring for this would be? Components are a Master Volume...

So a friend of mine wanted me to install a het set into their guitar with an emg solderless system. The problem is they wanted each pickup (bridge and neck) to go to their own output, resulting in 2 separate outputs. They also wanted to use the 3-way toggle as a killswitch. I followed this...

Hey guys, Long time lurker-first time poster here, I recently bought an Ibanez Prestige RG5328 and so far just the general feel of playing it has been wonderful in terms of the comfort factor and such but the DiMarzio Fusion Edges just aren't jiving with me in all honesty. So in saying that...

Hi! I bought an ESP pickups, which are actually gotoh pickups. Do you know which wire where should I solder? Do you have some diagram? I don't know even it is passive or active. So, the help is really needed . It goes into explorer, so one volume knob, one tone knob and a 3 way toggle switch

I couple of weeks ago I started building my own pickup winder, most of the time was spent on coding since its not what I'm best at. I'm fairly happy with the end result, its basically 2 stepper motors controlled by an Arduino Uno, 3D-printed parts and some other parts (rods, bearings etc). Pic...

So title kinda gives it away, but I'm looking to install a new set of pickups in a guitar I picked up second hand. The guitar is great, the internal wiring though looks like it was done in a real hurry though so figured I might give rewiring the whole thing a shot while I'm in there. I've...
