    PAF Pro vs Fusion Edge

    Hey, A guitar I am considering uses DiMarzio Fusion Edge pickups from factory. My Jem has vintage PAF Pro's. I was just wondering, does anyone know how they compare? I mainly play rock/metal.

    FT Schecter Supercharger Mach 7 Pickups

    These pickups are a great choice for someone looking to brighten and tighten up dull, muddy, or flabby guitar. They've got a snarling midrange to them, and the split-coil tones are lovely. I'm interested in a Friedman BE-OD, Revv G3, or a Mooer GE-200/150. I'm totally up for considering other...

    Multiscale Pickups similar to Bareknuckle Nailbombs

    Hey, i wanted to put a Bareknuckle Nailbomb into my Ormsby Hype Gtr. I contacted Bareknuckle and they said, that they won't do such extreme fans (21.5° on the bridge position). I have a very trusted guitar luthier and he said, that we could try to fan them by ourself, but it would be risky with...

    After high-output 7 string pickup suggestions!

    Hi all, I've ordered another custom guitar from Waghorn guitars and am in a bit of a quandary as to what pickups to go with. It's going to be a strat-style 7 string with swamp ash body, flamed maple top and flamed roasted maple neck and fretboard with HSS configuration. My original intention...

    I made a video comparing the kiesel lithiums and dimarzio ionizers

    I hope everyone is doing well today! I made a video showcasing differences between the Kiesel lithiums and DiMarzio ionizers. I found that the lithiums were pretty compressed compared to the ionizers. I ended up liking the ionizers more for their dynamic range. Also, shout to the community for...

    [VIDEO] Single Coil, Humbucker, or Both?

    [NEW VIDEO] Thought would do a little video between the difference of single coils and humbuckers with hi-gain material. I used my Squier VM Telecaster Deluxe, modded with Iron Gear Hot Slag Bridge and Rolling Mill Neck pickups, and both of them are coli-split. And I have push-pots on the volume...

    Liquifire 7 AND D-Activator(n) - Unique Tonal Options?

    I have a basswood Ibanez RG7 (RG7320Z), with D-Activator 7 neck & Liquifire 7 (coming in the mail). The D-Act (neck) I plan to use in the bridge, but interestingly, both D-Act & LFire are "able" to be used in either bridge or neck position. What do people think of the options here? I "can" do...

    Should I go for a baritone or make my 24 3/4 inch Ibanez Work in Drop A#?

    I'm planning to track some new songs in Drop A#. I have Bareknuckle Black Hawk & Cold Sweats on the way and I was intending to have them installed into my Ibanez Prestige which is as 24 3/4 inch neck. I was also going to install a push/poll coil tap. So I'm not the biggest fan of this Ibanez...

    Active Pickup Suggestions

    I am used to passive pickups. The DiMarzio D Activator in the neck and DiMarzio D Activator-X and X2N-7 in the bridge are my preferred pickups. I recently got an ESP EII Horizon FR-7. I am not in love with the EMG 66-7H & 58-7H. They are not bad, but they are not me. I am looking to stay...

    Anyone still using the classic Dimarzio Blaze pickups?

    Title pretty much describes it. But basically, I recently purchased a used Ibanez RG 7421 in white (I've always wanted a white RG) and the previous owner installed the Dimarzio Blaze pickup set, minus the single coil in the middle of course. Now that I've lived with these pickups for a few weeks...
