Re: HHH pickups choice question


ah! I forgot....

the dimarzios are in red color. but they need to have the black poles. and not all dimarzios have bk poles
example: i haven't seen the 'humbucker from hell' with bk poles...

you can get the black polepieces from Dimarzio for $10. Just unscrew the old ones and replace them with the black ones. Or if you special order them, Dimarzio will send them to you with black polepieces.

i recently had the same situation. got a PAF Pro and wanted the H-F-H to match.

you can order them with the black poles straight from the factory Dani (or I can) dont let that put you off getting the pickups you want..

XXX = Paf pro, paf 36th DP103, HFH as someone said, superdistortion for crazyness - it really depends on what you are planning to use it for but...
for keeping the magnet pull to a minimum and having a great sound..

TZ / AN / DP103

Re: HHH pickups choice question


oh thank you for your help guys!

i didn't know that i can get the black poles. i have some guitars that with this problem... ex:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...m/DSCF3035.jpg
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...3/DSCF4684.jpg

about the HHH config I think that I will go:

- Bridge: Tone Zone.
- Middle: Paf Pro.
- Neck: Air Norton.


so okay???

Paf Pro is a classic pickup for rock guitars
but it has different style poles than the others... i mean the poles screws are differents (allen and normal screws)
so the pafpro in the middle position will go better there.

what a mess my english

and thank you Jaden for your offer, but I already made an order of some pickups (for other project too) and the seller is only waiting for my decision of this pickup.
but I will take note of your offer for another time.

cheers!
and thank you again!
