What kind of guitar pickups would work best?
Traigh asked:
I am currently trying to build a new guitar out of an old First Act guitar body. I am having trouble picking my pickups. I am trying to get an 80’s shred-metal kind of sound out of it, similar to the sound that Randy Rhoads or Doug Marks guitars make.

I already know that i need to get humbuckers to get the higher gain and sound quality. Only problem is, i dont know which brand or type to buy. Not to mention i’m on a limited budget. Any help would be great.
What guitar pickups should i buy for my guitar?
Daniel F asked:
Hi guys, i have an ibanez with H-S-H configuration. My style is kinda sporadic and up until now i’ve been dealing with the stock INF pickups. I don’t hate them or anything but i want a more personal sound. Do you guitar guys know any pickups that would fit the style of a player who plays metal, rock, blues, jazz and likes a good clean tone sounding pickup? THANKS!

How do I change my guitar from EMG pickups to Seymour Duncan Blackouts?
closedeyevisualdelusions asked:
I have a guitar with EMGs in it and I just bought some blackouts. Do i just swap them out? Or do I need to solder or desolder something from the guitar? I think they have the same pots and 3 pin quick connect plug.

Do lipstick guitar pickup casings affect the tone significantly?
RexBlitzen asked:
I have a rockin vintage-style guitar equipped with lipstick pickups, and I am planning on getting a custom humbucker pickup built inside of the lipstick casings. Will the casings hinder the tone, especially for hard rock and metal?

Is it possible to use guitar pickups as a microphone?
Moonbat asked:
I don’t have an electric guitar with me right now, otherwise I’d see for myself. But can you use as a guitar’s pickups to amplify your voice, and would the words still be comprehensible? I know it’s a weird thing to do.
