    Anyone do the Spin-A-Split mod?

    I've got an Air Norton/Tonezone combo ready to go into a chambered LP. It's already on the bright side so I think these pickups should be OK. Anyway, I'm thinking of doing the spin-a-split for each one. I've never done this mod before. The schematic looks pretty easy to implement. Just looking...

    Alnico II Pro bridge OK in the neck spot?

    I'm building a Tele-Gib type guitar. It'll have a Gibson wrap-bridge, a P90 dogear in the bridge spot and the neck is routed already for a humbucker. I've got a A2Pro bridge pickup that would go with everything else looks-wise, it's double black. I measured it at around 7.7k, seems like it would...

    What do you think of this Air Norton idea?

    Anyone ever try an Air Norton in the bridge of a semi-hollow? It's a typical 335 copy except all maple. I have an Air Norton I'm looking to do something with and this idea struck me today. It would be a classic rock/hard blues guitar. What would be a good neck pickup for this setup?

    Chambered LP Studio, DiMarzio p'up combo?

    I have a Mahogany LP Studio that's chambered, very light, barely 7 lbs. It currently has a set of DiMarzio Air Classics in it, but I find I'm not getting that really solid, hard-hitting sound you associate with a typical LP. I'm sure the chambering has to do with that. For playing harder...

    Do Norton and Air Norton work as a team?

    :laughing: How would that combo work in a Les Paul for playing hard blues rock? I'm looking for something that sounds identifiably Les Paul but with an edge, not over the top though. I've had an Air Norton neck and Air Zone bridge in this guitar and could not bond with the bridge sound, too...

    I suppose y'all have seen this already?

    I haven't been cruising this forum much lately, so I suppose this is all talked out already, but I think it is one very cool new pickup! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZhJXcSVnfs

    Duncan Convertible amp question

    It's about the extension cab, actually. There's a 1x12" cab on eBay right now that I'm interested in. Anyone have details on the type of speaker, wood, etc? How do these sound compared to modern extension cabs? This speaker is labeled Convertible 100 and is 8 ohms. I've read these used...

    Guys, how do you like my latest Vintage Mahogany LP Studio mod?

    It started out as a simple experiment in working with Tru-Oil, but when I got it all apart I saw my chance to make a mod that I've wanted to do ever since I foolishly sold a Historic R4 Oxblood LP. Here it is in all its glory, my Po'mans Oxblood :D I stuffed it with DiMarzio pickups, Air...

    Who likes PAFs in an SG?

    I've got a nifty set of Tonerider A4 PAFs itching to go into a guitar. I also have an Epi Vintage G-400, one of the original models with the neck binding. It's a great little guitar, currently loaded with a set of GFS Dream 90s. The Toneriders ohm out at 7.5 neck and 8.3 bridge. Do you think...

    Pickup swap for a VM Studio

    I have one of the Vitange Mahogany LP Studios. Pulled the BB Pros, just couldn't fall in love with them. Right now I have a DiMarzio PAF in the neck and a '57 Classic in the bridge. I've got two sets of pickups ready to go into something, and I want one of them in this guitar. Set 1 - DiMarzio...

    Dani, got a question about a guitar you sold

    You had a guitar for sale in the Trading Post a while back. It had a Warmoth body shaped like a Jazz Bass. How did you come about this body? I've been hooked on that guitar ever since I saw it. How did you get Warmoth to make someting like that?
