I've tried a few pickups on my Tele now. The Hot Stack lead is nice, but actually, I miss the bite, higher resonant peak, and attack of the stock / old time Fender pickups. I wouldn't mind losing a ton of output, and some mids if I could get back that ole time Tele sound. I've been thinking of '54s, but I would like that in a noiseless design. The Vintage Stack sounds OK on the file, but still not quite enough highs, and bite compared to the '54s. Is there any hope for me ?

where are the magnets in a dual rail pup?
are those two rails magnetic or are they just two pieces of steel? and where and how are the magnets fixed in that small space?
a diagram maybe?

Custom Dimarzio Pickup in Fender CS SN FR
Any body got a clue what the specs are on this pickup. I have heard rumors they were PAF Pros but quot;hit don't look like no PAF Pro I ever seenquot;. They look like a stock Gibson PAF. They are tonally pretty mellow, at least compared to my Dimebuckers and Super Distortion 3s in My HM Strats amp; HM Strat Ultras. Here is a pick of the pickup in the guitar.

Is the Lil 59 supposed to sound that bad?
Ok, so sourcing a HSS pickguard seems too complicated since my Strat is not MIA (it's a Fender Lite Ash Strat).

Urgent! I think?
I am replacing the magnet in my 59 with an Alinco 2. When I attempted to pull out the magnet, some of the wax from the pole pieces came off. It is the wax inbetween the magnet and the black plastic piece. Did I do something wrong? Why did they use wax around the pole pieces? How do I fix this?

Okay. A pawnshop has a Tele shape guitar. The headstock says quot;Fender, Made in Mexicoquot;

Roland Cube 30 users...............
This amp seems to have all of the features I'm looking for in a practice amp. It has what other small combos from Valvetronix and Line 6 lack by including cd input, headphone jack, separate delay/reverb from the other effects, switching effects on/off with a footswitch, and footswitch channel switching.

Buzz when volumes at zero?
Need some help, I have 2 humbuckers with typical Les Paul wiring minus the tone pots. The problem is that when I turn volumes to zero I get loud buzz/noise. What the hell can cause this? Volumes at max the sound is fine and haven't noticed any grounding issues. Anyone have ideas?
