    Gibson 70's tribute pickups question

    Yeah, to be honest I have a set of Brandonwound T Top replicas that sound amazing (to me anyway) that I'll likely pop in once received, kinda prefer the low output pickup/high gain amp type deal at the moment. Was never really much of a fan of the JB in general, I'll try them first though as you...

    Gibson 70's tribute pickups question

    Hey guys & gals, Quick Q for you. Does anyone know what pickups the Gibson 70's tributes are supposed to be modelled after? I can't find much info on them other than Gibson themselves saying "These are modelled on the high output pickups we started creating in the 70's" now maybe I'm wrong...

    Pickups out of phase

    Hey all, I wondered whether you could help me out. I recently replaced the Brandonwound T Top in the neck position of my LP to a Shed Pickups HA-59. I wired the neck pickup exactly the same as I have wired any neck pickup I've had in there (Braid to pot and hot wire to lug) yet the middle...

    How Old are Ya Guys?

    33 years young. As someone else said earlier though, I feel much older lol I've always hated that phrase "You're only as old as you feel" really backfires for me. Need to start doing yoga and be more Jagger-esque!

    Any experience with Pariah T-Type pickups?

    Hey, Does anyone have any experience with Pariah's T-Type pickups? I am currently restoring a fairly battered 70s Gibson LP for a friend who would like it restored as close to the original as possible. I looked into Brandonwound as I'd heard good things but can see the bridge and neck and wound...

    Looking at Bare Knuckle pickups

    I went through a bit of a phase with BKP, in the end I fell out of love with them. I think what did it was I kept going back to the best tones I've heard on record/by the guitarists I am influenced by and none of them would have been created using a BKP, doesn't mean they're not good as they...

    Thoughts on 70's Dimarzio DP103 PAF pickup

    Hey, I have a 70's super distortion in the bridge position of my Gibson Les Paul Studio and I love it. Having toyed with a few neck pickups (BKP Mule (lovely clean but a bit too wooly for me under gain) , Gibson T Type (lovely and snappy, definitely a keeper...), Wolfetone Marshallhead A2+A5...

    BKP Riff Raff vs VHII vs MCP Detroiter

    Thanks for the input guys, I hadn’t checked out Tonenerd but they seem cool. Does anyone have experience with the Tonenerd 7d8 with the A5 mag? Seems spec wise to tick the boxes on my checklist.

    BKP Riff Raff vs VHII vs MCP Detroiter

    Thanks, I wasn't able to order through his site as I am outside the US so I've contacted him via Facebook/Instagram. I think it's worth the wait as I don't want to settle for something less.
