Hey all:

I have an older Combustion with the old style pickups. I'm wondering if any of you have tried the FD3 P/J and the FD3N pickups and could describe the difference in sound versus the stock pickups?

I also have an older ABII. I replaced the stock pickups with Nordstrand Big Splits and the tone is awesome. I wonder if I should try to transplant the old AB pickups into the Combustion...

I replaced my v1 Combustion pickups to the PJ FD3's. The pickups that came with them had low output and the new ones have more output, bite and just punch more.

A couple of questions, I am looking at a Super J and there are a few things I would modify: I would make it a PJ if possible.

Do all Super Js have the routing for a P pickup? This is an early one (2006ish).

How much would it cost, roughly to do this? I don’t see the P pickups and the pickguards on the Dingwall site.

Thanks!

Odds are “good” it’s routed.

You’d have to talk to a dealer or Dingwall for that stuff is my guess.

I’ve been trying to hunt down clips of the magick fuzz and all I can find is guitar demos. I see you’ve got one. How would you describe it compared to some other fuzzes. Thinking about getting on. Toss up between that or a TFR. Only have room for one. Just curious because I haven’t seen anyone else around here that uses that fuzz.
Here's a short clip of the Magick Fuzz I just pulled out of... pls excuse sloppy playing.
