In the August issue of Premier Guitar, we have an in-depth interview with Seymour Duncan about how he started in the pickup business, and his pieces of guitar history, including the original PAF. Also, we talk to John 5 about his Tele collection in our interview, and look at whether active pickups or passive pickups are right for your rig. We review the Taylor SolidBody guitars, Spalt Voodoo I & II Totemguitars, Goodsell Super Seventeen Mark Three amp, JazzKat TwinKat, Pigtronix Polysaturator, Joe Barden pickups and more. Finally, we take a look into Germany’s most colorful export – Lehle switching.
