just to clarify, I put in Seymour Duncan ahb-1 blackout active pickups and I am looking for new pickup rings , volume and tone knobs and a 3-way switch, thx
To my knowledge, ESP doesn't sell replacement parts, but they use pretty standard equipment. A standard 'flat' pickup ring should fit. For the electronics, your Blackouts just use any standard 25k pots for volume/tone (which they should have come with?) and the 3 way switches are all pretty standard. If your Blackouts use solderless clips, you should be able to use a solderless kit from EMG making the install crazy easy.
Blake, Allparts would be your best source for these parts.
I have this model ,but with a neck through body , and I’m trying to overhaul it , but I’m having trouble finding parts , how do I find them on your site?
Blake, currently we do not sell parts, though there are plenty of aftermarket parts suppliers out there. Allparts, StewMac, Warmoth, just to name a few.
Hello Todd,
I've had this model for a few years now and am looking to make some changes to this, rather than buy a new one, since I love the neck. I'd like to replace the bridge with a simple tremelo (strat) bridge, remove the locks at the nut, and install some Duncan's. I already saw the comments on the pickups and have a clear idea about that. Could you please guide me with the bridge change?
Hey Pulok, this instrument was designed to be used with a Floyd Rose bridge and installing another bridge would be quite the task. If you are unsure how to complete this procedure yourself it would be recommended to have a professional guitar technician handle such a modification for you. Unfortunately we're unable to guide you through this process.
Hi Todd,
What is the reference for replacing locking nut (for neck).
The bolt thread has worn out, i thought it was universal, but seems there are quite variants (refer to floyd rose table).
For the M100 series. Thanks
Its OK, i managed to get some local nuts.
And thanks for the ESP youtube tech clip...it really helps
Hi Shahril, Sorry that I did not reply to you earlier and glad to hear you solved the issue. If you ever need technical assistance please contact our customer service team at customerservice@espguitars.com
Hi there, i planned to install EMG 81, and combine it with current neck PU on my M100FM.
Where can i find the wiring instructions for this? Thanks
Hi Shahril, It is not recommended to combine active and passive pickups. It can be done but both pickups work on different impedence so for example EMG active pickups should use 25K pot while standard passive pickups should use 500K pots. If you want to upgrade to EMG we recommend you change both pickups. You can get a wiring diagram from EMG or contact our customer service team but we do not have any instruction how to mix active & Passive pickups.
Hi Todd, thanks for your feedback. Now i had better understanding between 25k and 500k. And also on passive / active combination.
And i got some good reference on wiring diagram, only missing info is on capacitor value on master tone knob, any recommendation on that?
So i have decided to go for (60 or 85 )and 81 instead. (Still checking on reviews between 60 and 85).
But i would appreciate if you can drop some comments on neck PU selection.
Have a nice day.
Hi Shahril, Capacitor value depends on your install (active or passive). For active installs the capacitor will come with the components (such as EMG). They use a value of .01mF for EMG. For a passive install you would typically use a .047mF or .022mF (the larger the value the more high end is rolled off). EMG 60 or 85 are both great choices for neck position. We use both. The 85 will sound warmer compared to the 60 because of the Alico V magnets. The 60 uses ceramic magnets and will be brighter sounding (which can be very cool in the neck position since the natural sound of the neck position is warmer than bridge position).
Hi Todd,
Its ok, i got some feedbacks from EMG on this.
Thanks !
Hi Shahril, OK, great to hear that!
