Dimarzio pickups.
Hello to all. Since this post is all about the axe, I hope u guys could help me out. I've been looking for Dimarzio YJM(Neck) and Dimarzio HS-3(Bridge) pickups but never seem to have found them. If anyone knows where I could get them, please.. do tell.
...and if it's possible, quote the price respectively.
Thanks.

A few quick questions with regards to pups and saddles, though.
1: Regarding pups, are there any places that sell the Fender Vintage Noiseless sets, or the Samarium Cobalt pups? Fender claims that the Samarium pups are found on highway 1s, so i might begin to hope for someone selling it! From what i've heard, Davis seems to occasionally bring them in.
2: Anywhere that sells a brass saddle for a Telecaster? I've got a Tele that's currently equipped with Chrome saddles, but i'm looking for brass saddles for that vintage tone.
Any answers would be appreciated!
Cheers!

It takes a few days for the strings to "settle". Once they've been under tension for a day or two they won't constantly detune themselves so much.

Ah no wonder!
Cos each time I change my strings, play, stop for a while and play again, the tune changed.
I have questions about strings.
1) The brand of the string really matter right? I used to use Ernie Ball but changed to Brooklyn like a few months ago cos apparently someone told me it was better. But I noticed that Brooklyn tend to get rusty pretty quickly, in like 3 weeks. I did all the precautions like, cleaning your hand before playing and cleaning the strings after playing, but don't think ut helps much.
And yes, I have sweaty palms/fingers.
So any string recommendations? That could last longer?
2) Is it fine to use electric strings on acoustic? Sound wise?
Thanks!

1) You could use coated strings. Unfortunately, usually only string 3 (G), 4(D), 5(A), 6(Low E) are coated. String 1(b) and 2(High e) are usually not. I am not very sure if the newer versions have a different coating but you could probably do a quick search online. Common brands would be Elixirs and Daddarios. Alternatively, you can use string cleaners or aftermarket coating such as String Life.
Not all strings are made the same. Some tend to rust faster.
2) The tension for electric strings and acoustic strings are different. So in short, no go.
