    You said that you have a Fender Telecaster Deluxe. Those are about the price of a Standard SG, and it's made in Mexico?

    Sorry to respond a year later... I've had a few issues.
    But yes, I have a 2006 Mexican made Fender replica of the '72 Tele Deluxe.
    It's equipped with two Fender branded "Wide Range" hum buckers, which are
    made with "normal" Alnico magnets instead of the CuNiFe magnets in the originals
    designed by Seth Lover for Fender.

    Sir, Thank you for sharing your knowledge Col. My 1970 standard has a Duncan Custom 5 in the bridge. It's OK. A match for the neck pup is proving hard to find and expensive. Any suggestions for a good substitute? Thanks for your time. Don

    Hello Alex

    Gibson '57 Classics are what I installed in my SG special, and those are also pricey, but they are Gibson's modern attempt to duplicate the old pickups. So a set of those would be a good choice, IMHO. Good luck and good wishes.

    Also, this site has a whole section on pickups. Lots of opinions there from experienced players. Lots to think over. Your original pickups were called T-Tops.

    Just wanted to say thanks. I went and bought some of that Howard's feed and wax and have been using it on my SGJ. What a huge difference...i figure i might need to use it a few times to start building up the shine..but i can see a difference already after two uses

    Glad to hear that you've found something you like. I don't use the stuff more than about twice a year. It's wax, so I don't want to build up too thick of a coat. But it rubs off, seemingly.
