i bought a new sd custom 5 bridge pup and it is neck spaced. 2 years ago i bought a custom custom bridge and it sat for a month before i installed and noticed this obvious problem. i am either returning the junk to internet dealer or dealing direct w/sd. why can't sd pup a bridge pup in a bridge pup box ? my les pauls will get proper bridge spacing for the bridge pup! anyone else out there with sore rectum over this ?

i know there have been a buch of posts on this but i am really impressed.

Hello got a new Edwards les paul that has 500k pots JB bridge/ 59 neck. The guitar is buzzing real bad and I know it has to do with shielding (only happens when not touching strings or metal part on guitar). I put copper shielding tape throught the cavity mounted the pots over it. Now I am only able to get the neck pickup only to work, the bridge is not working? I removed all the shielding and tried again now it is working. I'm confused. I know I had everything hooked up right with the shielding tape in. My only conclusion is it is grounding off on something?
any suggestions? The way the cavity is cut it is really hard to get copper shielding tape placed flat and properly. So I have ordered some shielding paint from Stew mac to try.

1984 Custom Reissue

Jazz neck, no more than 3 weeks old, pulled out of my new C-1 Classic. Standard spaced, double black underneath.

Id like a quot;classicquot; for a neck pup, but Ill take another HMET, hit me up Ive got Paypal. Thanks

Putting all of the Strats back to true single coil pups. This means one of them gets the stock pups back. Wired it all up nice and clean and damn it if the middle pup is pretty much dead. It worked enough to pass the screwdriver test before closing her up but almost no output at all while playing it. Shame too cause with the shielding the other pups actually sounded good.

I've heard the Orange amps clips from blues saraceno site and it has an amazing tone, what model did he play there? I assume it's the AD30 the AC30 copy? If so, what amp would be good for that sound, but not with the Orange price tag? A Laney perheps?

I just picked up a set of Fender Hot Noiseless pickups because I hate noisey strat tones. But, I know there are some new Duncan Stacks on the horizon. Anyone know of these pickups and when we may see these? Is the bridge hot enough for hard rock?

Possibly the most disliked pickup on a Strat? It gets those great notch tones, but on its own, nobody loves it. So what would you do to the tone of a Strat middle pickup that would make it usuable, on its own?
