i ran into another problem with contradicting schematics. on both the seymour duncan and the one in my book that is a 3 pickup 2 tone, 1 volume schematic, the bridge pickup gets the 3rd position lug, the middle gets the 2nd one, and the meck gets the first. i have a superswitch schematic that says the middle pickup gets #1, neck gets #2, and bridge gets 3. that doesnt make sense! so which is right? is there a misprint on the superswitch schematic, or is it because its a different layout than standard and i should go by it?
bizzy bump
It's a different layout than the normal switch. I'm a little confused by what you want, but I'll guess. If you want the neck selected in one end of the switch, the bridge at the other, and the middle in the... middle. In that case, choose a one lug bank on the super switch, the bridge pickups goes to lug 1, the middle to lug 3, and the neck to lug 5. The lug 0 runs hot to the volume. Thing is, positions 2 and 4 will do nothing. Nada. If you want to have a normal strat 3 pickup, 5 way switch setup, I can do you a diagram to match the super switch.

I'm dabbling in the realm of picking up new pick-ups for my Epi LP standard but i've only just begun. What combos of pickups, pick up-selector, paint,etc... has anyone done to their own? Anything! i just wanna read about things i can do to get some ideas. Thanks
I put APH-IIn and JB bridge with .022 sprague caps and have never looked back.I do have a Demon I might like to drop in sometime when I have absolutely nothing to do.
i replaced the pots with 500k cts, .022 orange drop caps, replaced the bridge and tail piece (not a direct replacement so you might wanna skip that) i put antiquitys in it when i had it. i put 59's in it when i sold it.

I played a freaking 20 minutes long guitar solo in Bmi, Bmi with raised 7th, Bmi with raised 6th, and Bmi with both raised 6th and 7th. It was one of the most rewarding and intense things I've ever done on guitar and it made me realize how much I have improved and that start to really know my way around the fretboard. Just wanted to share this with ya all don't know if anyone cares but it was really something
I care. It would be nice to hear more of these kind of post, than a bunch of kooks talking about equipment all the time.

Here it is. I used small diameter aluminum and brass tubing to make a ring around the mother of pearl and abalone inlays. The alumnum looks like silver and the brass looks like a gold ring. Its a very cool accent to give your neck a bit more quot;blingquot; I wish my camera was a little better to show the details a bit better but, I am highly impressed how it turned out.Thank you JJ!!!
BTW, the inlays that you cant really see are the mother of pearl. They dont react well to a camera flash. Pictures just dosent do this justice.
you know what may look cool as a kind of simple/slick inlay...

Alrighty...So I've had the EMB for awhile now and have a pretty good feeling for it and know how to tweak it, so I wanted to update my previous post/quot;reviewquot; and also provide a few clips.
First and foremost, I gotta say that the clip(s) aren't that great (and I'm not talking about the usual quot;excuse my sloppy playingquot; type of stuff...but due excuse it anyway ) and this is due to several reasons:
1) My recording setup isn't that great. All I've got to record with right now is a minidisc recorder and a few pairs of binaural microphones.

i'm planning to install a new pickup in one of my guitars tonight.
both pickups (humbuckers) will be wired to mini-toggles for coil splitting capability.
i want to wire it so that when i have both pickups on and split, hum cancelling will still be present.

Mhmm well yeah, for xmas I think I'll buy myself a wah. I don't know why. I guess everyone needs one really? So yeah... I'd like to be able to handle a lot of gain, to be easily modeable (hehehehe...) and to be able to just stay in one position for leads (to get this nasal like tone I love).
So far the contenders are the standard Cry baby (not the fancy model, but I don't know how it's called...), the ZW crybaby (considering it's this aspect of his tone I'm trying to emulate, I guess it really is the obvious choice) and the Ibanez Weeping Deamon (which gets great reviews and has more functions than the ZW).
If the Standard CryBaby can do that, then heck, I may as well go for it and end up modding it later. It's way cheaper than the others (about 60 pounds, against 80 or so for the 2 others) and even modded it could still be cheaper.

Have any of u thought about trying out a new guitar or amp that u thought was going to be great only to discover by playing it that the guitar it turned out to suck? For me it was a rickebacker 360. I looked at my musicians friend magazines for months thinking wow that guitar looks awesome, until i went to Sam Ash and tryed it out and i absolutely hated it. From the sticky neck and fretboard to the bright dull sound, the guitar just wasnt for me. Any of u have similar experiences?
I did once, but only because of the really old rusty strings on it.
The guitar was a Tokai Love Rock, and looked awesome on the wall, but played and sounded horrible because of the strings. It was really disappointing, but I knew as soon as I got it down off the wall that was going to be the case - the strings felt horrible.

I just got a used Invader, cause the price was right. I've always thought the Invader sounded too muddy, and after installing it in my Ibanez (which is quite bright) I still believe the same thing.
So I want to try some pickup modification on this thing. I would like to try putting an A5 magnet in it to make it sound more like a JB, or possibly remove some of the 3 Ceramic magnets to make it more like a Distortion.
I have never disassembled a humbucker before, and I want to know if there are any spacers I will need to make these conversions.
Has anyone here ever modded a duncan Invader? If so any, suggestions would be helpful.

I just installed an Alnico II Pro in the neck of my #2 Tele (Hot Rails in the bridge). It is replacing a '59 and so far I am very happy with it. Very nice chime and gone is the big bass boom of the '59. It blends nicely with the Hot Rail in the middle position and sounds great distorted on it's own. I played my #1 Tele to compare pickups, it has Golden Age (9k) buckers, they sound more like the '59 lots of low end. I like the sound of the Alnico II better. I use a Carvin MTS into a Dual Showman 2-15 cab so I have all the bass i need and then some with that combination. I would recommend this pickup to anyone looking for a brighter pickup in the neck position. Next I'll try the '59 in the bridge of my #1 Tele!
The APH is my favorite neck bucker of all time. I now have it in the neck of my double fat strat, Dean Hardtail and my Les Paul Standard. I just put my 59' neck in the bridge of my Lester to see how it sounds. Now I just have to get my amp back from the shop.
Yeah! Let me know how it sounds. I'm not ready to do it yet but will be soon.
