I received the Crazy 8 a couple of days ago. I have not decided which guitar I am going to put it in. It looks so nice that I may not even want to take it out of the box, especially when it's got the tech's initials and Seymour's signature on it. I wonder if any body has tried it out in a guitar...

I finally put the A4 magnet in the 59N in My LP because I thought the 59N was muddy. Well, the A4 did take care of the problem and smoothed it out. However, I notice that it has a much darker and heavier sound than the Jazz neck in my 335. I was expecting the 335 would have a darker tone because...

I usually play the synthesizer and guitar but I don't want to haul the keyboard and guitar amps together. Most of the time I just hook up a pre-amp in between my guitar and the keyboard amp, but I would use no effects and that sounds pretty dull. I finally went out and got myself the TwinTube...

Has anybody put a custom 5 (SH 14) at the bridge on a Les Paul? I am thinking about putting one on mine and a 59 on the neck mainly for Rock and Blues. Any comments? I would appreciate it.

I am thinking about putting a couple of 59s in my LP, but I don't know if I should wire them in series or split besides the regular hook up. I called SD and the tech support told me that putting the 59s in series will make them sound fat like the P90s. However, my friend's Nighthawk and my...

I was going to try the Mama Bear the other day and I found that none of the local dealers had it in stock. One of them decided to order one so that I could try it out. It came on Friday, but I was out of town. I finally got my hands on it on Saturday morning. I tried it with quite a few acoustic...

After going into hiding for over a month to work on my musical project. I finally get a chance to come back to the forum. During my project, I found my electric acoustic didn't really sound that natural. I have heard about the Mama Bear but I've never tried it and and I would like to find out if...

I have just noticed that Guitar Center is having a sale on these so called hybrid combo amps. Does anybody know anything about them or own one? Are they any good?

I am looking at this brand new three tone sunburst MIA Deluxe Tele with a rosewood fret board. It sounds really good and the action is nice. I've played almost every type of electrics (Strat, Jassmaster, Jaguar, Mustang, LP, SG, Flying V, Xpress, and semi hollow bodies) with single coil and...

I have had my Fender MIM Jazz Bass sitting in my basement for sometime. I use it once in a blue moon and I didn't really pay attention to its tone. Now I'm thinking about using it on more reqularly and I wonder if I should put some new pickups in it to get better sounds. Are there any bass gurus...

I had been reading a lot of threads concerning what kind of wood should be used on guitars. A lot of folks chimed in and made suggestions based on their personal experience and taste. I am trying to find out exactly what kind of characteristics and properties of a certain kind of wood that have...

I finally decided that I had enough with Marshall didtortions, and hauling a 4x12 is too much for my old aching body. I went out to look for a small clean amp head and a smaller cab thinking I can just hook up a stomp box to it for distortion. Then I saw this Fender Concert Reverb. It was larger...

I had put a Push/Push pot in my semi-hollow body guitar to split my humbuckers. It was a pain in the neck to do the rewiring in that type of a body. The switch worked for about 15 minutes and then it wouldn't stay in the down position. I had to take the pot back out and put a Push/Pull pot in to...
