The Pickup Place / Re: Advice on a HSS set up
« on: November 22, 2020, 06:03:47 PM »
I was just gonna say - just get a new pick guard. Might already be routed for an HB underneath.
Then, get whatever you want and wire it for whatever switching you like!

The Pickup Place / Re: pickups for my esp E2 s2
« on: November 22, 2020, 06:01:19 PM »
What's an S2?
I know, E, M, A, but not S.
Anyway - if you think the EB's will sound great, then put the EB's in it first.

The Pickup Place / Re: Pickup model winding accuracy

I don't know that they are EXACTLY the same...but I wouldn't be surprised. "rotation of a spool" should be able to be an exact thing.
And even if it wasn't, I bet the variation is so low as to be completely insignificant. 3 extra trips around the bobbin out of a thousand is not going to be measurable, let along perceivable.
And IF something ran amok - you would be warned, notified or it would pass QA or something....
I saw Duncan with Six Sigma stuff in the factory. I happen to be a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt.

So, just read this thread. Interesting situation.
I'll think about this for a moment.
- Facebook is a BAD solution. yeah, it's fast, easy and free....but it has a really dark side to it.
- Patreon is interesting.
I have to ask - what is the deal w/ DiMarzio???
Buddy - we should talk...

Well, I have often spoke very clearly of my opinion on Larry in those sorts of matters. And this does nothing but support that opinion.
But - as Darth said...not like it can't be found.
Now, I think I'm gonna go play my Boss Super Distortion & Feedback. Apologies if you are confused about it being a pickup or a pedal!

Hey man - YES, I am THAT Aceman.
And I too have been working up my recording chops. Songwriting....that's another thing. But I can now record!

The Pickup Place / Re: Pickups for a Les Paul style / sound
« on: October 18, 2020, 12:55:50 PM »
OK - to start with - there is no singular "Les Paul" style sound. There are literally dozens of classic LP kind of tones. So, unless you specify a player, you'll get all sorts of answers.
Peter Green ≠ Billy Gibbons ≠ Ace Frehley ≠ Slash, yet everyone of them is a 'classic' Les Paul tone.
So, when I think Les Paul, I'm thinking gritty pushed lower mids and growl, with a warmer/warmish/fatter high end compared to say, a Strat.
However - for what you are talking about, I think that you might consider either of the following combo's.
#1. DiMarzio 36th Anniversary PAF set. That is Larry's PAF sound, according to his ears. Regular PAF, or whatever the latest incarnation is would be fine too. Bottom line, it is the classic new production old Les Paul pickup. But like I said - LP pickups varied widely in winds, magnets etc. No two 59's were necessarily the same.
#2 Based on the classic rock needs (whatever that is, 60's 70's 80's now....) A SuperDistortion in the bridge and a PAF in the neck is just a fantastic set of all kinds of music. That should handle any and every 70's rock guitar tone you'd ever need except Led Zeppelin, bass well as the Fusion stylings.
I have 4 Les Pauls: One with P90's, one with PAF/SuperD, One with a T-Top/Duncan Distortion, and one with just a SuperD bridge.
Tell me about what Amp you have, and exactly what this LP style copy is though. Might change my responses. I have an LP copy with a Duncan 59/Custom Hybrid in the bridge and DiMarzio PAF in the neck also...

Yeah - onboard preamp would be nice. Do you have any specific current suggestions?
