Re: SDUG ULTIMATE AXE - Category 6; Hollow and Semi Hollow My PRS Hollowbody II. It has a couple of SD Custom Shop Phatcats MJ wound for me. I designed them with larger slugs. I would like to think they used my idea for the Phatcats with larger slugs SD made for one of the Hammer...

Re: SDUG ULTIMATE AXE - CAtegory 1; PRS Indian rosewood neck, jumbo frets, 24.5" scale length, santana headstock

Just before Christmas I got my 2nd quality acoustic, a Lakewood . Problem is in Arizona my music room has a relative humidit of about 20% all winter. Last year I tried to humidify the entire room with 2 humidifers but it was an exhausting process. It took 2 humidifiers running almost...

A couple years ago I wanted a decent small condenser mic for recording acoustic guitars. I did a little research and bought a Shure sm 81. It sounded better than my dynamic mics on the acoustic but I never really was blown away by it. It seemed to have quite a presence effect, too much bass...

Okay guys my first problem with a Boogie in 25 yrs. Two weeks ago I received my new Lonestar Special head(I know I have not posted photos/clips/review yet but still gelling with it ). Was playing yesterday at home and it just suddenly died, no pop/distortion/noise/hiss just dead instantly ...

Well I have duncanized my last "stock" guitar. last year I bought a PRS SC 24.5 with PRS 59 pickups in. I left it stock for 11 months but finally decided I just didn't care for the bridge pu. So last week I put in a custom 5 in the bridge, after 1 day swapped out the A5 for an A8 and now I am...

Here is a couple of guys who 'shredded' long before the term was even created. And on acoustic instruments yet. And one with only his fingers. To all you young players, enjoy. http://youtu.be/TD4U3ZM4TOc

I was talking to my brother the other day (he is an amp tech) and he tells me one of his clients was telling him that his band has been using pre-recorded tracks at the local clubs. Claims the sound guys like the ability to control the volume and keep the mix balanced. Now I remember bands like...

Okay all you sound engineers I have decided to learn how to use Sonar more "professionally" (if there is such a thing). My question is when and by how much to use the normalize function. I have tended to use it to increase the levels of individual tracks that for whatever reason end up...

Well yesterday was a cooler day here in the desert so I finally decided to try and work on a project. For some time I've wanted to do a version of "I'd Love TO Change the World". I've been playing more fingerstyle acoustic/classical so I thought I would do it from the ground up. Usually when I...

Well if there is one thing this site has done to me over the years it has been to give me excuses to buy overdrive pedals. For years it was just guitar into amp, yes I had an old TS 10 but it hadn't seen light of day in years. So here I am today with the "modded' TS 10, SD Twin Tube Classic...

First to make a couple things clear 1) I like PRS 2) I like figured tops 3) I like 24.5 " scale length 4)I like solid rosewood necks So now that is out...

Well thanks to several posts on this site about phat cat's with a8's I recently replaced the mags in my custom shop phat cats and am really pleased with the results. I posted a clip on the tips and clips lounge https://forum.seymourduncan.com/showthread.php?t=195969

It seems like forever that I have recorded or posted any clips. I had a free afternoon today so I fooled around and recorded a short clip. I have custom shop phat cats in my PRS hollowbody 2 and recently changed the magnets to alnico 8 as several guys recommended. I was curious to see how they...
