Silent circuit, can I buy just that item to use in my EBMM guitar?

[flukather]

I have 2 Luke guitars, and was thinking of putting some passive pickups in one of them, but I have humm from passive singlecoils, so I though of the silent circiut system. I tried a S/S/S Silhuette yesterday with the SC system, and it sounded great! No humm either.

So, can I buy just the Silent Circuit system to use with pickups of my own choice? Or is it exlusive to EBMM guitars?

Exclusive to EBMM guitars and not sold separately (last ime I asked).

Oki, thanks!

There are other hum-eliminating systems out there that you can buy and add to any guitar. Notably, Suhr had recently released their BPSCC system that fits inside a backplate and is passive. It has its limitation, and I have no idea how effective it is. They claim it's not a dummy coil or anything.

Have you considered just getting a Silo Special with silent circuit instead ;-) ?

For hum cancelling, I like the Seymour Duncan Duckbuckers. Very nice. DiMarzio HS2's are also nice. They are stacked single coil sized humbuckers, and I've got mine set to tap, so I get humbuckery (is that a word?) single coile sound and traditional single coil sound (with reduced hum). Just my 2 cents.
