Just know them by name - someone here has experience with them?

Any hints appreciated, thanks.

Really low output but super quacky. The only stack humbucking single that adds a good 2 and 4 position dimension in humbucking mode.

It says that you can wire it in series and you'll get a little more power and mids but... to my ears it sounds best and it's quackiest in parallel.

Even the DiMarzio Areas... as good as they are, don't have the quack of a duckbucker. They work great with JB jrs and Lil '59s.

In the middle position of a HSS or HSH set-up, the Duckbucker's low output is sort of noticeable but in the middle of an all stacked single set-up, they really shine.

I take that as a "pro" for the Washburn JB 100 I am thinking about... Thanks!

Jennifer Batten? Oh wow, that would be killer with a JB jr in the bridge and neck. That is one bitchin' Washburn... I'm not usually into that brand but that guitar looks awesome!

Slight correction; duckbuckers aren't stacked; they're side-by side like vintage rails, cool rails, hot rails, jb jrs, etc...

I had some on a parts guitar w a JB Jr, I liked them a lot, but I hate hot pickups so that may explain it
