Hi everybody, I just wanted to ask which pickups may suit my purposes best. I like the 80's hair metal sound and lead tones of Reb Beach or George Lynch very much, but on the otherhand i also like the Billy Gibbons Sound and Blues/Hard Rock in general. I want to replace my current jackson...

Hi, I want to buy a neck pickup for my ibanez guitar, I have Three options but I am not sure about which one to choose, I have a DP159 bridge pickup and I wonder what would be a good combination, I know the evo neck is supposed to be compatible with this one but I have heard good things about...

So I have an 82 destroyer that I've fallen in love with, and I want to get a pickup that's the same as what's in it for all my other guitars. I think its a Distortion Plus, made by DiMarzio. My question is what Pickup would be closest to that in terms of tone? I don't think they make that...

Just got my new Ibanez last Thursday, I've been after an SA prestige for a while so finally got me one. Out of the box it was playable but had that crappy factory Ibanez setup (Aweful!). So now got it fully setup by a pro and with my 10-46 gauge strings which I love, 9's for me are unplayable...

hey all well currently i have an esp f100fm made from Agathis, which is holding seymour duncans, an alnico pro II in the neck and a dimebucker as the bridge. i play majority heavy music in the band and starting to record now, but in my own time i just like to play some rock but the sounds given...

Ok so I really like the stockies in my S, But I want just a little more power and clarity. I'm thinking a cross between Megadeth/Iron Maiden. I wanna play some dissonant stuff also and be able to hear all the tones clearly. Suggestions? I've considered Evolutions, D-Activators, and maybe some...

I just recently picked up my new guitar its a hohner HR800. It's got tesla pickups and I love the neck tesla but the bridge one leaves something to be desired. I just 2 months ago bought a Seymour Duncan Sh11 custom custom for that evh crunch I wanted however It didn't get my sound I wanted or...

I was asked to build this recently. I've really always been a Charvel/Strat guy, but I was very pleased with the look, feel and playability of this guitar when I finished. It's a 2-piece Alder Body, Birdseye/Lacewood Neck with Jumbo stainless frets, Gold Original Floyd Rose w/oversized sustain...

A couple of years ago I built a Warmoth Soloist, with a Scaller FR bridge. A short while later I built a much cheaper Warmoth Strat with a FR original bridge. The soloist was fitted with a Dimarzio F-spaced bridge pickup, while the Strat was fitted with a Seymour Duncan F-spaced pickup. Stay...

I swear to the gods above, this is the last time you will see this guitar. If I dont get any offers I will be forced to destroy it(Just Kidding) But I do want this to go to a better home. I just can not seem to get buyers/traders to come thru on this. This guitar is in fantastic shape and is a...

Hey, Has anyone here ever installed thier own pup's? I want to replace my pup's on my warlock with a PAF PRO and a Norton. The guy at the shop will install them for $20.00 plus the price of the pup, but my bandmates suggest that I learn to do it myself, and suggestions?:devilchil

Hey guys, i thought i would do this track as ive been pretty busy with alot of Satch covers latley :tongueout I really love this song by Blackmore, just shows once again that his very underrated as a musican and guitarist :icon_ange Unfortunatley when it comes to Blackmore, ppl always refer...

Hey all, me again. Just picked this up on ebay for 96 bux. I'm far from rich, so im always on the lookout for good cheap guitars. I've resigned to the fact I'll never own a SL1, RR5, a Jem, a Razorback or an all tube Marshall, so Im stuck with ghetto equipment that I just have to make the...

The original: http://www.jemsite.com/jem/model/jem7vwh.htm And the black with vine: http://www.jemsite.com/jem/model/jem777vbk.htm I mean, I know a guy who lives near me and is selling the black with vine for a really low price. I recently tried out the original JEM at Guitar Center and I fell...

I'm still a noob so I take it I'm missing something in my analysis. I own two guitars and have replaced the cheap pickups in both with top of the line equipment (dimarzio in one, S.D. in the other). With both I had great expectations about having my axe transformed as advertised in many posts...

just did this in one take, so some of it is not clear (the tapping). I used a compressor but obviosuly not enough lol. this was my epi les paul + dimarzio paf pro > DoD milk box compressor > laney linebacker

i've played guitar on and off for over 12 years now, and all i know how to play well is the odd metallica and ac/dc song as well as learning to train one's hand to find things on its own, i wanna get a set of pickups that facilitates my playing style well from what little i've played, passive...

Well cleaned em both up and took them outside for some pictures. Carvin ?? I forget which model I bought it 15 years or so ago. Remained unmodded until about 4 months ago. I love her and will never ever sell it.. Plays like butter and still to this day has been problem free. Pickups are very...
