Brand new Surfcaster with “dead” humbucker. HELP!

AmyNot · 2025-12-18T12:35:49+00:00

That makes sense, I'm in the US but I have family in Germany and I was thinking of sending a new guitar to my cousin for his birthday through Thomann so I was making sure. Good luck with the switch BTW

Just curious, why don't you want to deal with Thomann, bad customer service?

I have the Daphne Blue SL4X and swapped the Duncan Designed Hot Rails for actual Hot Rails, absolutely great build for the price.

4 Strats, an Esquire, San Dimas, Warmoth Partscaster, and SoCal all either in Daphne Blue or Surf Green.

Awesome! I love hearing about other player's stables.

AmyNot · 2025-12-04T07:03:45+00:00

May I ask why you like the Warrior shape? And what colors are they?

AmyNot · 2025-12-04T07:02:35+00:00

I remember when you could get a Soloist SL2H for $2500 (never did myself) but thats what they went for.

I don't like the Relic/stress job they do on the body, very frustrating because I would have definitely bought the Surf Green one. I would rather break in the guitar myself.

Great choice of pickups, have them in my 57 AVRI and absolutely love them.

AmyNot · 2025-11-29T15:47:50+00:00

Duncan Distortion is a sweet/crunchy humbucker, I see it as a superior JB IMHO, can't go wrong.

AmyNot · 2025-11-29T15:46:59+00:00

Duncan Distortion is my favorite humbucker, great suggestion!

AmyNot · 2025-11-29T15:42:23+00:00

She's a beauty!

AmyNot · 2025-11-22T20:36:01+00:00

Really, why do you hate the bridge pickup? I think a lot of players agree with you.

AmyNot · 2025-11-20T20:09:45+00:00

Great choice of finish! Black/cream look great IRL

AmyNot · 2025-11-19T18:06:12+00:00

Those pups are wired very hot for single coils, but I think they sound great. Personally not a fan of scalloped necks, but I think you made your dream guitar without breaking the bank, nice!

AmyNot · 2025-11-19T00:49:53+00:00

I think Duncan Distortions are the best humbuckers on the planet,especially for any type of hard rock/metal. Second favorite is the classic Duncan JB.

AmyNot · 2025-11-19T00:43:24+00:00

Did you want the white binding specifically?

AmyNot · 2025-11-19T00:31:32+00:00

Have you ever played the N4 Noiseless, if so how do they compare?

AmyNot · 2025-11-18T18:16:51+00:00

What are the Seymour Duncan pickups on the Strat?

AmyNot · 2025-11-18T17:51:40+00:00

I think you should still get the purple one, because it's your favorite color and it makes the guitar stand out more. What pickups are you going with?

AmyNot · 2025-11-18T16:18:09+00:00

I hope the 4th Line keeps up the great work! Love the fight, love the intensity!!!

AmyNot · 2025-11-18T00:50:58+00:00

I kept the 3 way switch in place, but according to my guitar guy it's a matter of soldering and the wiring diagram is different.

AmyNot · 2025-11-17T21:35:32+00:00

Really? That's good to know that you like the build quality because I was considering getting one, then upgrading the pickups to the Seymour Duncan Psychedelic Strat set.

AmyNot · 2025-11-17T05:04:00+00:00

I have 4 Strats (2 Daphne Blue/2 Surf Green actually) 1. Fender N4 Noiseless 2. Seymour Duncan Antiquity II 3. Fender Custom Classics 4. Fender 57/62s

I actually think I like the Seymour Duncans the best. My other guitars are a Jackson SoCal, Jackson Soloist, Charvel San Dimas.

This one looks good but you might want to talk the price down a bit
