    Pickup Question re. 1981 Greco EGC 500

    Hi folks - longtime reader, brand-new poster. Just picked up a 1981 Greco EGC 500. I was expecting it to have Maxon UD pickups inside it, as that's what usually came stock with EGC 500s of this era. But the number code on the pickup looks more like what you'd expect on Maxon Dry Z pickups of...

    Single coil wiring issue?

    I've been modding an Epi Strat S series as an experiment and have run into what I think is a wiring issue. All pups are single coil. I installed an SD Twangbanger bridge, SD Alnico 2 Pro RWRP middle, and a Fender Fat 50s neck, standard wired 5 way pup switch. All switch positions sound great...

    Love my new Gibson zebra 57/57 super pups!

    Installed them (vintage 2014) on my Gibson LPM. About a 1.5 step volume knob less hot than originals but much more balanced across the frequency spectrum and warmer overall. Also seem more articulate and were easy to balance with my rig. With my Jonesy 50's wiring, volume & tone controls have...
