Zhangbucker
At the risk of pissing off Seymour, though I have bought a large number of his pickups over the years, I have gotten my first Zhangbucker.
I got the pure handwound widebucker, which is his pagey2, Alnico 2 8.3K humbucker.
I put it in my charvel san dimas and it is amazing! It sounds like a PAF, the mid range honk, the clarity, the bloom, it's all there.
Highly recommended!!
Re: Zhangbucker
Is it kind of on the bright and aggressive side, like I've been hearing?
Re: Zhangbucker
Actually quite the opposite. I put it in my brightest guitar and it really tamed it. It is a lower group of frequencies if that makes any sense.
Very warm, but I did not go high output. Done with that crap. Also, The Alnico 2 tames the high end as well.
My other pickup of choice is a '59 with a roughcast A2. To my ears, it is different than a Pearly Gates.
Re: Zhangbucker
I got one of his 'regular' wound Crushbuckers and it's awesome. Im thinking about a Pagey or Brown for the neck and I might need another LP to get a Pagey set for. His work is outstanding.

Re: Zhangbucker
I feel like I found a real PAF....
Re: Zhangbucker
He sounds like he makes great pickups, and it seems like people around here have had good results using his in conjunction with SD pickups. What I like most about them is that he doesn't charge an arm and leg.
Good trades with: Dominus, Jackson Distortion, Richard, DWVINKY, Notesfeld, Inhuman, Brunogio, SFW, Jolly, Darthphineas,
There is nothing on this earth sexier, believe me, gentlemen, than a woman you have to salute in the morning.
Re: Zhangbucker
yeah his prices are very good.

Secession would be a horror. But barring a major national crisis like a Black Death magnitude epidemic or nuclear attack to erase once and for all the myth that truth is negotiable, it is coming.
Re: Zhangbucker
For the amount of time and effort you're putting into them it's dirt cheap.
Re: Zhangbucker
Yeah, no kidding. Some dudes charge that amount of cash for what Zhang would consider a "regular" wind, and there are dudes over on the multiple Les Paul forums that say the PH series are a step above. Regardless, I dont care how he wound mine. Its awesome.

Re: Zhangbucker
I still haven't had the chance to thoroughly try my new Zhangbuckers with my tube amp. From the very little time I have had the chance to, it sounded great, though!
