Frequently asked questions
Which pickups should I buy for my guitar?
Depends on the guitar, your amp, and the sound in your head. Tell us all three and we'll recommend honestly — including when the right answer is a $40 wiring fix instead of $300 pickups.
Can you make my humbuckers do single-coil sounds?
If they're four-conductor, yes — coil-splitting adds convincing single-coil tones with one push-pull pot, no extra holes drilled.
Why does my guitar hum until I touch the strings?
That's a grounding/shielding issue, and it's fixable. Full cavity shielding plus a proper ground scheme kills the noise without changing your tone.
