Re: Duncan Custom doing VH II
Well if whatever is in the Frankie now resembles the Duncan CC, I'm out. Never cared for that pickup.

Just switch out the A2 magnet for a ceramic and you have a Custom.jnew wrote:Well if whatever is in the Frankie now resembles the Duncan CC, I'm out. Never cared for that pickup.

Re: Duncan Custom doing VH II
That's right. I forgot about that. An the AlNiCo V for a custom 5. Never tried one of those but would imagine it being pretty decent.

Re: Duncan Custom doing VH II
Yeah, Super Distortion had to be backed farther from the strings and I used a 300K pot which actually measured like 237K or something. It was a little tricky but it's a great early VH pickup for sure.

Re: Duncan Custom doing VH II
I have found that the MM1300 and DSD are very dependent on distance to the strings.

Re: Duncan Custom doing VH II
And in my case, I was able to get the Duncan Custom right up under the strings.rgorke wrote:I have found that the MM1300 and DSD are very dependent on distance to the strings.
