Wow. I have an Agile custom Hawker for YEARS that I could never get to sound good. I thought the wood was dead. I tried Super Distortion, Duncan Distortion, Brobucker, A2P, they all sounded blah. I mean years. Tried to sell it, nobody even sniffed. So it's been sitting around for a couple...

Hey guys. Got a two pickup, one volume, one tone Schecter and the tone is push/pull. I wired in my my two conductor Custom Shop Duncans (just a black wire and bare braid) and the neck position is good, but both the middle selection and the bridge selection get me both pickups on. I wired the...

I got a JS-32 with a Floyd and the G string is a TAD higher than the rest of the strings. It's driving me crazy, lol. My sausage fingers can't adjust to it. Any advice on what to do? It feels fine up by the nut so I don't want to file the nut but I've never messed with a saddle on a Floyd...

I bought a low line Jackson JS32 that had a wiring and pickup upgrade, and these are the pickups. Anyone have any experience with either these or the Duncan it's inspired by? Obviously the Duncan is way better and these pickups are lacking.....something. I have a JS32 Rhoads with a Custom...

Anyone know what model Jackson this is? I can't find one anywhere with a bold on neck, shark tooth inlays, and three way toggle. Even if it was slapped together, can't find a 3 way toggle body that's a bolt on with bolt in pickups, unless it's not a Jackson body, lol. I'm stumped.

Just got these two items this week and hooked them up to my Marshall 2X12 with the old white label T75s and my solid state fears were alleviated. This amp is LOUD. More than loud enough for a rock band with a hard hitting drummer. Hopefully the Helix type processers like this have solved that...

Looking for opinions as I can't seem to get my hands on one locally to play. I play classic rock, classic metal, classic to modern progressive. Pickups be damned, just care about everything else. Has to have Floyd.

Looking into one of these and can get a good deal on the tele shaped guitar with the sustainiac. My question is for those familiar with this guitar, because of the type of guitar is is (metal, shredder, etc) are there tonal differences between the tele and strat bodies or do they both sound...

It is unreal how some guitars sound great with any pickup in them, and just give you the sound or better of the pickup's description, and others...not so much. My basswood Chibson SG should be a dog by the very description, yet EVERY pickup I've ever put in it sounds wonderful. Big problem is...

I have had the Duncan Designed HB-112 sitting in my pickup box for many years. I had put it in a guitar, possibly and Agile Les Paul, but felt it didn't live up to the hype. May have just been the guitar, but never used it again. Got the bug to tinker again so I removed the ceramic and...

The guitar is actually wired up, just need to reinstall a bridge pickup. Thought it was shot, then I did some work to the bridge and neck and brought it back to life. Has typical SG 3 way toggle, two humbuckers. Two normal volume pots, two push/pull tone pots that split the coils, and I...

Hi folks. So I play anything from classic rock to classic and more modern slightly dropped tune metal. I think I've got a couple of swaps down and I have all the pickups already. I have an Agile Hawker Custom with a Jazz neck and Brobucker bridge. Lo and behold, I found the first guitar that...

I sure hope I love this thing because for me, it was a little pricy. Got it direct from Hotone in pink...yes, pink. Got it brand new for three and a half, probably because of the color so I got the pink. I have the HX Effects which I'll now be selling, but I wanted to try all modeling to...

What I've used most of my home recording life on the computer is Sonar 5 with a Tascam FW 1804 Firewire interface. It's always been fine for what I do, except the computer is nearly 20 years old, is slow as hell, blue screens, crashes, etc. No problem, just got an Acer with SSD 512GB hard...

Hope you guys might get a laugh, maybe throw me some suggestions. Anything--the funnier and insulting the better (those who remember my sense of humor over all these years will really lay it on, lol.) Been very broke for oh I don't know, the last ten years like many others? My purchases have...
