I've got a 2008ish SG classic with the P90s and the bigger neck profile. I've thought about trying to put a '57 in the bridge and keep the p90 neck. It appears you will need to enlarge the p90 rout in the bridge position to fit a regular humbucker. The real kicker is finding that bat wing...

I picked up a bridge position Custom strat SSL-6 at shop during a closing sale but didn't know I was getting a strong bridge position pickup. I was looking for neck position strat pickup. It's NOS and has never been installed. $40 shipped to lower 48. Paypal payment. thanks, matt

So I took off the old, non-original tweed covering off my 1960 gibson explorer amp. I've sanded it down but need to use something to get off the last of the adhesive residue. Can somebody out there recommend what they used to strip/remove old adhesive. I've included a pic of the the top and...

I just got a 1974-75 SF Princeton amp. I've read these breakup less than the reverb models. I was going to use pedals with it anyway to get some grit at lower to moderate volumes that won't offend neighbors. I was wondering if anyone has some speaker recommendations for that general...

I'm putting together a telecaster and wanted to use a strat neck pickup. I've been looking at the wiring diagram for the switch and there is a ground from the regular tele neck p/u cover being used. A strat p/u wouldn't have this so is there a work around to make the 4way switch an option? Or...

Looking at getting a SG classic with the p-90. Can anyone tell me if gibson did the reverse winding on the pickups to get hum cancelling in the middle position? thanks, matt

Just bought a good condition 1963 Gibson Falcon GA-19RVT that is getting some work done to fix a few issues and add a master volume control. I should get it back by this next week hopefully. The speaker is the original jensen c12r with a ceramic magnet and the speaker code dates to 1962. I'm...

The ground from the black wire to the plate is broken so a ground (?) from the yellow wire to the plate was added instead. It's now loose. I think I can solder a black wire connection back and remove the white wire added from the yellow wire. Thanks, matt

Im not sure i should open this can of worms.... Just got a 2005 SG special and it has small ceramic caps. So has anyone seen any real difference in changing these out to a different type (film, oil, etc.) ? Also... I was thinking about bumping up the cap value on the bridge to a 0.03+ range to...

Recent '59 neck in black/creme with 4 conductor wiring in VG condition. I was going to use with a bbp2 but picked up a bbp1 for the neck. I will sell outright for $56 with shipping included in the price. Also, I would like to trade for a gibson 498T bridge pickup in black/creme if possible...

I know the burstbucker pros are alnico 5 pickups. Has any switched them over to alnico II or III magnets? matt

Just got a good deal ($400) on a new prs SE single cut. Nice neck and pretty good acoustic sound so I thought I'd try it for a project. I've got two 57 classics and a hybrid 59 (A2) I made a few years ago. I can put in the the 57s as a pair. Or just the 59 in the bridge for now. I'm going to...

I just got a good condition Fender Champion 300 dsp ( 30 watt, 10" speaker, 8 ohm) off ebay to practice with my electric acoustic (fishman matrix infinity). For solid state the amp sounds pretty good and is fine for messing around. But I'm thinking a little better speaker would help this amp...

I have a noiseless fender noiseless strat pickup that i got from a buddy. The pickup is dead right now. But I'm hoping it isn't that hard of a fix for someone who deals in this stuff. I've messed with changing the magnet in a SD'59 but these wires a pretty small...and I don't really want to...

I'm thinking about putting together an esquire if I can get a good deal on one of the usagc bodies. Due to some hearing issues I'd like to make this tele as thick as possible and not that bright. In that vein....how big a cap can one put in circuit before killing the highs? I don't want to...
