Can I still send it in to SD for this? If so who do I contact and such? Couldn't find it on the site anymore. It's for this old '59:

Hey I've got this SG I'm finally getting around to fixing up. It needs a refret and all its hardware, but I'm unsure about how to wire it up. I'd like to have options. It's an old SGII so it's something like this: With a control plate something like this: Pretty sure those pickups were...

So we've got single coils with 12 pole-pieces now. I know you couldn't get as many windings with the same gauge, not even on a normal humbucker probably (still not positive why it's so much bigger than a regular HB unless it's windings) but you could put those CuNiFe pole pieces in one if you...

I've got these "Johnson by EMG" single coils in a parts strat that are ruining it for me. They all measure at 6.5k but are just terribly harsh unless I roll some volume off, in which case they're either flat or losing highs. Maybe it's the pots. I've noticed how single coils are getting so "hot"...

I don't wanna go make a new account at the "appropriate" forums when you guys seem to know your stuff, so here goes... I've been learning about harmonic tremolo, and I'm curious where it's usually placed in the signal chain in amps it's implemented in. Furthermore, I'm curious if it could be...

The title is kinda simplified, but a buddy of mine seems to think running my little 5w amps through large speakers (75-100w) could be bad for the OT over the long run. I'm curious if he's just worrying too much. He's surprised it sounds as good as it does, thinking the speaker would react like...

Re: Firebird/Mini/Johnny Smith ?'s Here's the guitar in question. I've just come across some videos of the newest LP Supreme, by chance, and it happens to have a Johnny Smith in the neck position. Doesn't sound too bad from the bits I've heard. I know it's against the purists, but I've...

Hey folks, I've got an old SG that was routed years ago with an MJ 59 placed in the bridge, and the stock mini in the neck died, so I've been thinking to complement it with something of stock size. I've been reading up and listening to various clips of these types of pickup, and was thinking...

I've got an old SG that has been routed out to accept a fullsize hum at the bridge, with the original mini humbucker in the neck. Problem is, the mini is some kinda disguised single coil or something. Other people with the same guitar have similarly noted that metal rolls right to the center...
