Seymour Duncan SH-6B Duncan Distortion Bridge - "Very tight, great metal pickup!!!"
I bought this in black, G spaced, and installed it in an ibanez xiphos XPT750. These have a ceramic magnet and have 6 slugs on one side and 6 flat head screws on the other. Slugs give off more low …
Bill Lawrence USA L-500 R - "PAF style neck pickup, goes great with any set"
A very nice neck pickup, goes well with both the L500L and the L500XL. It is a dual blade style pickup with alnico 5 magnets. Along with the other L500 series, Dimebucker, and EMG, and select Dimarzi…
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…
DiMarzio DP221 D Activator-X Neck - "Little better than the bridge"
Dimarzio D Activator X neck, has ceramic magnet with 2 very large rail pole pieces. While I absolutely hated the bridge version this wasn't as bad. I didn't try this in the bridge so can't comment h…
DiMarzio DP222 D Activator-X Bridge - "Absolutely hated them!!"
I REALLY disliked this pickup. This isn't to say these pickups are bad, just are NOT anything I was looking for and nothing I'd ever buy again. They looked cool, white pickups in a red guitar with b…
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…
DiMarzio DP100 Super Distortion - "Great crunch and full tone!!"
Dimarzio DP100 Super Distortion, ceramic magnet, small hex pole pieces. Along side the Duncan JB it's one of the most famous and widely used pickups of all time! I bought this originally for a neck p…
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…
EMG 81 - "Tight crunchy, but stale tone"
I tried to avoid active pickups for the longest time, just didn't want to have to deal with batteries and all the negative views on them. Eventually I just bought one and was pleasantly surprised. Th…
Bill Lawrence USA L-500-XL BILL & Beckie - "One of my all time favorites"
I first got one of these in my 2006 Dean CFH ML. I absolutely loved it. Made my pinch harmonics effortless and just made playing more fun. VERY articulate, some complain it's too bright but in the…
Seymour Duncan SH-8B Invader Bridge - "Great... at what it does"
Seymour Duncan SH8 Invader. 3 ceramic magnets with 12 large hex pole pieces. It by no means a bad pickup, it's just is it what you want? I bought it mainly because ole Papa Hetfield had used one in…

My gear is: Boss CS-3, Boss DS-2 or Boss OD-2, Boss GE-7, SansAmp Classic and Hartke Piggyback 60w. DiMarzio Air Zone pickup. It's a mid-gain humbucker with huge bass response and lots of mid rang…
EMG 60 - "EMG EMG60"
Product was purchased as an upgrade from www.gak.co.uk. It cost around £71. The humbucker was packaged with everything required to solder it together and also included a very easy to understand i…
Joe Barden HB - " Awesome!"
translatedAfter long hesitation, I decided to change the pickups on my Musicman Luke 2 (never liked the EMG, but always loved the handle of this guitar!). Because of the particular format of simple, I tried …
Lollar Imperial Humbuckers HIGH WIND - " Breathtaking!"
translatedI have mounted (for Optim Guitar) the set on my Gibson Explorer and it's magic. The microphone is superb mache (hot and well-balanced and accurate) that the bridge is a rather aggressive use for solo…
