  1. The Teese Wahs are by far the best I've ever tryed..They are pricey but this guy has really found the way to make a wah work great..These wahs have massive tone!
  2. I Love a Duncan 59N and the duncan "Hybrid" that a bunch of us are using...It's a 59B bobbin mated with a Custom slug bobbin... The Dimarzio Fred is a nice bridge PAF style pickup with unbalanced coils,nice tight tone,a bit more mids,bright and cutting tone...I have a Fred in the bridge of my SG with a nickel cover and one side all screws replacing the allen screws...Absolutely love it...A 59 in the bridge is very hard to beat,very versatile also,and let's not forget the Pearly Gates..This is like a 59 but is more aggressive and crunchy in the mids with great harmonics...A bit less lows and also brighter than the 59...I've tryed most of the Duncan humbuckers..
  3. Did you add a credit card number to the site? You have to show a major credit card for (E Bay,Pay Pal)to draw your funds from..I signed up a long time ago and it might be probable that you'll have to do that last step as a verified user..I Know I'm shown as a verified user.. John
  4. Currently my favorite Duncan humbucker is something called the "Hybrid" that a group of us have been using on the Duncan Forums..It consists of mating a 59B or PGB screw bobbin (Around 4k)with the slug sided bobbin from the Custom,C5 or CC(7K)...You end up with a pickup that has tons of sustain,is tight and articulate,crunchy,strong lows,warm,sweet,and smooth...Kind of a polite crunch! The split tones are right at 7k(The custom coil)and is a great single coil tone..The pickup uses an A2 magnet or you can substitute an A5 magnet for more highend,very tight lows,and a more hi fi like tone..This is my favorite pickup right now...I also use the Dimarzio Fred quite a bit and I Like the Duncan 59 and the PG and PG+ pickups..I'm always tweaking.. John
  5. Snork...I use the Duncan stuff mostly and I have to recommend the Duncan single coil antiquities first and then the SSL1s and the APS1s...The SSL1s are A5 poles..Nice clean,jangly,bell like tones in the vintage strat way..The APS1s are also staggered pole but use A2 poles...This is a warmer,smoother version of the SSL1s above...Still plenty of jangle but not as toppy or glass-like in the highs... The Antiquities are like the pickups above but are more 3 dimensional in tone...There's a certain "space" for lack of a better way to explain it to these pickups...This set comes with a very balanced 3 in that the bridge is like a 9k pickup and the neck and middle are at around 7k or less..It's hard to beat these pickups.. I also like the Fender Fat 50s and the CS 54s but I feel the Fender pickups are more hi fi sounding or harder sounding compared to the 3 Duncans I mention.. John
  6. Thanks guys for posting back to me...My FDP name is Stratdeluxer....On the Les Paul forums it's the same screen name as it is on this site...I haven't jumped in on any discussions,as I'm still just kind of feeling my way around the site..
  7. Hello everyone...I've been spending some time both with e mails and via the phone talking with Brian..I've been someone that spends alot of spare time on the FDP,The Les Paul Forum,and the Seymour Duncan forums offering everything I can, related to guitar setup,vintage tube amp tweaks,mods,pickup replacement and mods,pedal mods,and whatever I can answer w/out blowing any smoke... I've been a guitar player for close to 30 years with a Classic Rock/Blues style in the realm of guys like Hendrix,Page,Clapton,Beck,Santana...You get the idea.. I also have some "How To" info posts that were made for others regarding pickup replacement and making the task easier on others..It seems this website is loaded with alot of talent and knowledge and I'd sure like to help where I can and benefit from all of you...It's for myself and because of Brian that I just have to chime in on the site and have another place to look forward to frequenting...Anyway...Meantime I'm going to peruse around the site some more.. John
