Questions & Answers

Can this pick be considered a good pick Is it alright to put the neck position in for a Jimi Hendrix-style guitar sound?

Honestly, I think it would be too hot there. In addition to the JH Signature pickup set, Seymour Duncan also makes another model. There's also the Fender Custom Shop 69 set that you might be interested in.

Does it fit in the cover of a Mustang pickup?

The poles are so small that there is no way they would fit inside any normal pickup cover.

Do I have the option of using it as my ?

Sure, I don't know what would have prevented you from doing so. It's a great pickup in terms of sound. Hope you have a good year

Secure Sockets Layer Does 4 refer to an active or passive state?

The device is passive, so there is no need for batteries. There is nothing special about this pickup. It simply has a larger magnet.

I would like to point out the use of middle pickups
5/5

I just wanted to say hello to everyone. Last year, I shopped for this tuner, which I bought to build a Nashville Tele Thinline custom body. On the basis of reviews here, I considered it a middle PUP. I thought it sounded nice, but it was so weak when compared to the SD Tele Vintage Stack in the neck and the SD Quarter Pound Tele Bridge pups. Had to turn my volume up to hear it correctly. Here are my reasons for thinking this I don't think this is designed to be an advanced There is either a neck or a All three of these are available in calibrated versions from SD. A description of the TRUE middle pickup can be found here In the Quarter Pound RWRP for Stratocaster, the same hand polished diameter alnico 5 rod magnets and high output coil winding are used as in The reverse woundreverse polarity middle pickup offers noiseless 2 and 3 pickup sound when combined with the neck and bridge pickups. A total of 4 positions are available.

I loved the sound of Seymour Duncan
5/5

Having over 100 Seymour Duncan pickups in a variety of styles and configurations is one of my favorite things about them. It consists of 1/4-inch squares A pounder has a lot more highs than you might guess. This guitar sounds like a Stratocaster, but with a lot more volume when it is When playing blues on the QP the volume on the guitar is set at 5, then you have lots of room to make it sing as you turn up the volume on the I've played it through my favorite Boogie amp as well as my Kemper profiling amp and the sound is fantastic no matter which. I wish everyone a good time with their music!.

I think this thing is awesome! I decided to put one of these in the middle of a Red Devil bridge and a Lil 59 neck pick
5/5

This thing sounds completely stunning! I am totally blown away by the full rich tone it produces! As a result, I need a GUITAT with at least one of these in each position. It would have been nice if it looked as good as it sounds, but ugly is worth it!.

There is no doubt that SSl4 is the best program available
4/5

SSS-Chip 6 on the neck, SSS-Chip 4 on the middle and JB trem. My American Strat sounds even better with the SSl4, it gives me a little extra range in the tone and allows highs to stand out more As for the middle, I use this mostly for rhythm, but I can just turn up the volume when I want to keep a certain The sides are wrapped with some thin, white plastic tape, and I painted mine with some hard lacquer spray paint. I wish they were white!.

The pickup has a great sound and is very powerful
5/5

You can keep that single-toothed grin if you want When you like the sound of the coil-style strat, but need a more powerful pickup to play music like Deep Purple, this is the pickup for you. The pickups were actually used by Blackmore for some time before they became a standard. Of course, the Seymour Duncan stamp is on it, so people know you aren't playing with stock pickups. This can make even a Squier sound like an electric guitar!.

VERY NICE MIDDLE PICK UP! On a Strat, the best pickup for the middle position is this! The Seymour Duncan SHR-II sounds great with this song The Hot Rails Single has one rail The neck and bridge pickups are Smokey Byrd coil-sized Humbuckers, and the bridge pickup is a Seymour Duncan
5/5

The best way to ensure consistency is to use the same brand name for all your PlayStations.

It has a great single coil sound that engineers will appreciate
5/5

The sound is loud and full. The two other wires are surrounded by a wire mesh. It says to tape it off in the wiring directions of an online forum. From the original Fender neck pickup, the black wire was soldered to the black wire while the white wire was soldered to the white wire. A reversed pair of wires makes the sound louder. If you want the switch installed, you'll probably want to take it to a guitar shop. It was not straightforward to solder two wires with the same colors in spite of their similar appearance.

There is not much to report since it replaced an EMG Select pickup in a Steinberger Spirit, so a comparison between the two is hard to draw
5/5

The game has gone from something I did not want to play to something I enjoy.
