    Dry Z question

    its not entirely unusual or impossible for this to have been missed at manufacturing. although if you are also saying that the bridge pickup of your Z's are 11k I would question whether it is indeed an original DRY Z. It may have been rewound Most (but not all) manufacturers will orient the...

    Boutique PAF Clones

    I am totally with you on this idea, unfortunately, (and its a terrible predicament to be in)..... we need to purchase a couple of strats, teles, P & J Basses just to survive the pickup developments this year, we fully intend to have no fun with any of them whatsoever.... However, not to step...

    t.olsen, we would be glad to wind you a set of pickups, and yes we have compared them to DRY Z but i guess you are looking for an independent opinion. drop me a PM or give me a call if you want a no obligation chat. Driller, I think we are talking the same language if we define what a poo...

    Tone Quest in need of help :o(

    http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Effects/product/Carl%27s+Custom+Guitars/Volume+Box+for+Fender+Amps/10/1 the HC guys dont seem to like them, and it does not look big enough to be a proper attenuator/power soak, and for a power soak, bigger is usually better as a lot of heat is...

    Tone Quest in need of help :o(

    DrJZT IMHO, you should already have everything you need to make those tones. If you are playing in a band with that Fender amp and a Tokai ES then I am assuming cranking the volume a little is not a problem. Try cranking the amp volume just beyond breakup and rolling back the volume on the...

    Pat McManus Band, Ruislip (NW London), Sun, 09-May-2010

    When I phoned Pat to see if he would give our pickups a try his wife and manager Sallie answered the phone. I didn't expect to get talking to the man himself that day but after a very pleasent chat with Sallie she interrupted Pat from his studio and a very long conversation of all things...

    hi DrillerKiller, some interesting points, im going to try and answer with as little self promotion as I can firstly you are absolutely correct, hand wound pickups are variable, every set we make is a little different, but the tonal quality is the same, I can't speak for other winders but we...

    Anyone Heard From Member f5joe?

    Joe & JV, I just re-read my post and apologies, it sounds like I am the prophet of Doom, in truth, if you keep a close watch on your statements, and only use one credit card for any purchase you make on line (not a debit card) you are going to be pretty safe. Just don't use the same...

    Anyone Heard From Member f5joe?

    Joe, in a past life i used to do IT Security, so take it as a given that if your email account was hacked, every contact in your address book has probably received an email similar to whatever Rich has got. they have probably already harvested all those addresses for later attacks I dont know...

    Callistocaster Guitars?

    John, At this point all I can say is it will happen some time in 2010, or possibly 2011. They are proving more darn difficult to get right than the humbuckers Declan

    Callistocaster Guitars?

    I am very interested to hear how you get on with this as we will eventually have to get a strat and a tele for testing pickups. No need to worry about resale values though as the unfortunate thing for the poor guitar is what we will do to them once we get them, .... it involves a router and a...

    Z Clones?

    Thanks John & Murray, you both know that repeat buyers get serious discount, we also throw in two dancing girls to accompany you when you are playing on stage, these will help draw away some of the attention from the pickups and allow you to leave any venue without being mugged. Claudel, we...
