The Pickup Place / Re: Want my Tele to have a SH-4 JB sound

Thank you for the advice! Everything I read about the Chopper reminded me somewhat of the JB until somehow explained it as pretty low output, but you're correct. The JB isn't concidered a very high output pickup either. I think I will go for it.

Is it ok to sand down the black rails to expose the metal rails? I líke the rails look better than the black on black.

The Pickup Place / Want my Tele to have a SH-4 JB sound

Yes. Been playing a Strat with SH-4 all my life but recently got a Tele which I love in terms of look and feel. I want it to have a SH-4 JB sound without having to rout for a full humbucker. I believe maybe DiMarzio might have what I'm looking for even though I've never played a single DiMarzio my whole life.

Any advice to what Tele pickup would be the best choice for me. Doing some research the Chopper T seemed very promising but in the end I worry it might be too low output to compete with a SH-4?

I guess Super Distortion T and Tone Zone T would be my other options.

Any advice?

The Pickup Place / Is my humbucker a DiMarzio?

« on: February 20, 2016, 06:13:13 AM »

I just bought a strat with a humbucker that was claimed to be a DiMarzio. It sounds quite good but I doubt its a DiMarzio because there is no stamp or sticker or anything on the underside. From what I can tell by google DiMarzio seem to mark all their pickups. True?
