Cleaning up the mud on a 490R
Oh, man; this myth must be the hardest to die of the whole music industry... specially when the T-Top and the 490R are polar opposites. The short A5 modded 490R actually sounds BETTER than the T-Top when put in the bridge position, but in the neck there's simply no comparison. Night and day... -

Aftermarket Humbuckers Suggestions
+ 1. My favorite set Is the "Vivid's" set. Sound like a million bucks. Tell Craig that Pepe sent you, and you'll get the "Royal treatment". -
What pickups are these?
Those are asian-made, not worth much hard-earned coin. They might sound OK if you change their baseplates with nickelsilver ones (assuming they're physically compatible) and magnets to Alnico 2. HTH, -

In defense of the "humble" SD '59

In defense of the "humble" SD '59
Modded '59 sets' been the most successful overall, covering from high-end custom-made instruments to humble pawnshop Epis in my over fifteen years as a moonlighting Guitar tech. I currently use an A3n/A2b-modded, nickel-covered '59 set with my ES-339, which is my main axe for my Smooth Jazz... -
Wizz pickups website?
In the friggin' HOMEPAGE it's written; "Webshop will re-open in February 2020" Are those words difficult to understand? -
Gibson Braided Wire vs. Aftermarket
Unless they got a shipping of 3-strand by mistake or unexpected unavailability, so there's not actual record of it, Gibson never sourced 3-strand braided wire. Never have, probably never will. Does my "of course" answer makes more sense now? Forum personalities... I'm sure the irony of your... -
