    Humbucker From Hell/Double Whammy/PAF Pro

    Anyone with experience playing these pups? I have one of each and plan on trying them out in my all maple Carvin neck-through. I am looking forward to experimenting and thoroughly playing with them since I have active electronics on board the guitar. While my experience with them is limited...

    Ernie Ball/D'Addario users.....

    ..... I have 7 guitars but my two Carvins get 90% of the playtime. So I have my TL60 with D'Addario XLs in 09-42 gauge strung to Eb while my ST300 is running on Ernie Ball 08-38s and strung to standard. I somehow feel the Ernies with higher tension than the D'Addarios; I have much more...

    I have changed string gauge...

    ...from 09-42 to 08-38 for standard tuning. I have to say I feel much more comfortable playing now. I can vibrato with full control once again. Does anyone else here use this gauge? :scratchch

    2008 Telecaster "Project"

    I call it a "project" because it really isn't; just a restoration and upgrade to my trusty MIM Telecaster. Judging from the serial number it is a 2000 (can someone tell me if I'm wrong?) model. When I gutted the guitar for the pup change the date reads June 18 2001, so it is at least that old. I...
