Gibson Dirty Fingers - tonmazz's review
I recently had the opportunity to play this pick-up in a John Sykes Gibson Custom shop. My immediate reaction was "so that's how he gets his thick wall of sound tone!". Seriously, you hear a lot ab…
Seymour Duncan SH-4 JB Model - "Seymour Duncan JB Pick-up has classic rock covered"
The Seymour Duncan JB Pick-up is a mainstay in rock since they designed the prototype for Jeff Beck in 1974. I recently bought a Charvel San Dimas that came stock with a JB so I gave it a shot. It …
DiMarzio DP224 AT-1 Andy Timmons - "DiMarzio AT-1 is pretty good"
I never actively sought this pickup out but happened to pick up and Ibanez that had it in already. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised the first time I plugged it in. It wasn't an overly …
DiMarzio DP155 The Tone Zone - "Tone Zone is a good choice"
Wasn't sure what to expect with this one. I usually gravitate towards boutique pick-ups like Suhr and Motor City but this was on sale at Guitar Center so I figured it was worth a try. I put it in a C…
Seymour Duncan SH-1N '59 Model Neck - "Syrupy and cutting."

Bill Lawrence USA L-500-L - "B&B, not BLUSA review"
The L500L is very similar to the L500XL, but lower output. The XL has so much output that harmonics are almost jumping off the fretboard, making playing efforless. This isn't quite that high. It is s…
Seymour Duncan SH-13 Dimebucker - "Razor sharp, very modern pickup"
I got this in a Dean Dime O Flame. Based off of Dime's L500XL, whether it was the B&B or the BLUSA isn't known and doesn't really matter, they're incredibly close. There's rumors it was based off a c…
EMG 81X - "Not worth the extra $10 over the regular 81"
Now don't get me wrong, this is still a great pickup but I don't find it necessary to spend the extra $10 over the regular 81, not a big enough difference. I made a few recordings comparing the regu…

Seymour Duncan SH-5 Duncan Custom - " PAF on steroids"
translatedI installed it on Gibson Flying V to replace the 500T (micro bridge) which is also in ceramics, OK I admit I play a little fashionable Schenker ... P I can say is that I do not regret any of the 500T…
