I bought a custom custom pickup about a year ago. At the time I didn't have a good amp so I couldn't test it at high volumes. I've just purchased an 6505 and was testing it out and this pickup has huge microphonics happening, and is also kinda noisy even while playing. At first I figured it's gotta to be the amp settings, maybe a cord etc. I swapped the custom pickup with a JB model and everything improved dramatically. Is it possible this pickup is damaged? Or is it a potting problem? Also, I'm not sure how Sd will help me because it's warranty is probably up, and I don't think I should have to pot my own pickup at the risk of damaging it. What do you guys think? Thanks.

Coil Tap / Splitting / Phasing
hey, i just bought 2 Push/Pull 500k w/DPDT Pots for my Epiphone les paul along with a new seysmour duncans, cannot wait to get them installed.
Just Wondering, what are the difference between coil tapping, splitting and phasing.? Is coil tappign and splitting the same where the humbucker is split into a single coil. and is phasing just where u have the single coils in phase to give that quot;strat quackquot;?

Warmoth project opinions
My next project will be a hardtail strat with a Graphtech Ghost piezo system. Nothing out of the ordinary there, but I'm trying to design my strat so that I can have easy battery access without having to take off the pickguard. Here are the two options I've been considering.

WTB: 6inline sperzels or schaller tuners. FS: PRS P-90s
hey all. im looking for a set of 6inline sperzel or schaller tuners. I dont care what color they are. Locking or non locking...either will be fine (the guitar im working on has a locking nut). If they are schaller tuners, I need the ones with the straight screw hole (not angled) going parallel towards the body (not perpendicular). I hope to spend under 35 dollars if possible...this is the first guitar im putting together (just for fun ) so I wanna keep the price low since I'm not sure how it'll turn out.

2 conductor vs 4 conductor same pup?
Just wondering if there is any tonal difference between a 2 conductor version of a BBQ or other pickup versus the same pickup with 4 conductor wiring. I would think that any signal going to more wires would decrease tone or gain? Not sure so I ask you.
