Product disposal guidelines
Has anyone seen this?

How do you dispose of your unwanted pickups…
1.) If it's a cheap OEM pickup that's dead?
2.) If it's a nice, name-brand pickup that's dead?
3.) If it's a cheap OEM pickup you just don't like?
4.) If it's a nice, name-brand pickup you just don't like?
Re: Product disposal guidelines
Not seen that before. Short answers are;
1) To an eccentric guy about thirty miles away who builds experimental pickups.
2) Cannibalise for spare parts.
3) e-Bay ("ideal for project")
4) Try to barter/exchange for another PU of equivalent quality.

Unvarnished truth?
1.) If it's a cheap OEM pickup that's dead?
2.) If it's a nice, name-brand pickup that's dead? I haven't encountered this yet, though I once accidentally killed the lower coil of an HS-3. I put it in the middle position of an H-S-H Ibanez where it functioned as a pretty good single-coil. I suppose if one of my beloved Duncans died out of warranty, I would probably pay to get it re-wound.
3.) If it's a cheap OEM pickup you just don't like?
4.) If it's a nice, name-brand pickup you just don't like? I had a Duncan Distortion once that wasn't really my thing; it came in a Jackson SL3 that I bought (used?) at a store. I sold the DD to a guy at the store, the same day I ordered a new JB so I could restore the guitar to spec.
Re: Product disposal guidelines
I've never once thrown out a pickup, I still got'em all. Even a mostly disassembled Yamaha humbucker that everything else in my parts box keeps sticking to. I'll get around to selling them all someday, I guess. I probably wouldn't throw something out. Even if it's ****ty, someone somewhere will want it for some reason.
Every love that made me lose my reasoning. Every chord that made my conscience ache. Every day spent counting hours. Well, none of them comes close to singing back a song inside my head.
I remember calloused hands and paint-stained jeans, and I remember safe-as-houses self-belief.

Me neither. I sell 'em or keep 'em. I have some really nice pickups that I need to buy guitars for.Originally Posted by Kam
