Got a Gibson The Paul on the way and a bareknuckle painkiller for the bridge. Now Im a big fan of the prails, and want a prail in the neck. The question is, would a prail hot in the neck complement the painkiller? Or would I be better off with a prail neck pickup? Or will both of those get...

Ok, I have a bogner alchemist 112, and like it quite a bit, but I'm looking to enhance the sound to better get a chrunchy raw sound. First off, I am thinking about some extension speakers. The back of the amp says "connect either a 8 ohm pair, or a 4 ohm single" and the amp can go between 20...

Alright, I'll break down the cosmetics behind this idea first. Im going to take a strat, take out all the routing, get a blank pick guard, and put 8 lace sensors under the pick guard. Then, I'm going to sand down the neck socket to make it closer to the pick guard and adjust the action...

Brief question to save myself a headache. I just got a gibson 496R in the mail today, and I'm going to pair it with a bareknuckle painkiller in the bridge (I know what you're thinking, this sounds promising). Anywho, the pickups have different color codes and I would like to seek the advice of...

I'll keep it straight to the point. I have a penco les paul which is mahogany with some type of laminated top. The neck is mahogany and rosewood. It has more of an sg sound than a fender sound when played acoustically. The sound I want: Lateralus by Tool. I'm looking for that chunky, well...

I just got a penco guitar and want to convert the 2 conductor pu's to 4 conductor. My only issues are: What's the safest way to get off the pickup covers? How can I tell which end is which? Like how do I figure out where the start and finish are on the coils, north south? I know my way around...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390197517251&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT $146 for it, including a hardshell case. I know how to tell the date on an ibanez guitar based on its serial number, but anyone know about these? Also, I"m considering stripping it and repainting it...

I just bought a bogner alchemist 112 and want to hook up more speakers to it to see what happens. It has two jacks on the back of it that say "4 ohm out. Connect 8 ohm pair OR 4 ohm single." Also, the manual says this about extension speakers; "Set the amp to standby if no speakers are...

Would it be possible to take a hybrid humbucker and wire it to shut off a coil? I dont mean coil splitting, I mean shut off one of the coils so that only one of the coils is working. If so, would it sound noticably different, like a single coil, or like a handicapped humbucker?

Searched the forum seeing if this information was on here, and it wasnt. I'd never heard of converting pots until last night after sifting through many google results. You can find the theory here: http://www.geofex.com/Article_Folders/potsecrets/potscret.htm And a simplier version here...

I've been thinking alot about feedback and how to make it more accessible and controllable. Remembering piezo buzzers, I was thinking that if, somehow, I could get the guitars sound going straight back into the pickup through some kind of a minispeaker in the actual guitar, what would happen? I...

I've got a simple problem/question. After rewiring a guitar, I noticed it had a slight hum, which increased when I strummed the strings (or the pickups were picking up noise for that matter). It was a slight hum and after completely wiring it again, the hum was back again. I decided to isolate...
