Dear friends, guitar players, etc etc.

In case you may not remember me, here's a small bio. Hi! I am Orpheo, I live in the Netherlands! I studies physics, now history. I have 31 guitars of which are 26 les pauls. I am a les paul-lover to the bone. I had some issues at the start of '12, but now, with a new home, new job and an education that seems to be running fine, I can say: I'm Bach!

And now, let's cut the crap.

Six weeks ago I got contacted by Seymour Duncan if I were willing to write 4 articles a month for them, in exchange for a free pickup set. I'd have to write four articles first, and if they were OK, I might be asked to stay. I wrote my articles, submitted them, and the first of four just got online!

The other three are about wax potting, inductance/impedence/resistance and neck vs bridge pickups. I have been asked indeed to stay with the program for a while longer, and I have been asked indeed which pickups I want: the PATB3 (blues saraceno) and the screamin demon (george lynch) are coming my way. It's official from this moment on: I have more pickups than pickup cavities!I'm making hybrids as if my life depended on it: x2n/invader and jb/superdistortion are the hybrids I'm working on right now.

My new blogs will be about tone chambers, my crimson guitars, 3 pickup les paul wiring schematics and a fourth, to be decided subject.

I hope you'll enjoy the reads and I hope I can go online a bit more often to keep track of this board. I learned so much from you guys, it's incredible. Thanks for everything!
 
Glad things worked out for ya !!

Congrats  :headbang:  ...... Great stuff .... I've used and have many different SD's, I like'em.
I'll be keeping a watch on your blogs etc, nice work.
:occasion14: 
 
I would like to take this opportunity to ask you guys, if you have a question, or something you want to see elaborated in writing, please drop a line here, in this thread. I can write about almost anything, but please let me know what you guys want.
 
I'm doing this too - the Guitar Wiring 101, 102 etc articles are by me.

I got a 59N and a Little 59 for Tele for my first set.
 
great :D I asked for the silver zephyrs but I wanted those other two first because, oh screw it, I just want them too, hahaha. I asked for the silver zephyrs, and if I can manage to write for the rest of this year, I may get them ;)

I will write about hybrids later on, but not right now. other stuff is more interesting.
 
I gave them a go, those live wires. Not for me. Too hot and compressed. I don't like active pickups
