    Pairing Necks and Bodies

    First off, I'd like to start off by saying I'm not trying to start a tonewood war here. So in my experience from all the guitars I've played, it seems to me that the heavier a guitar is, the more resonant it is and the more low end it has (plugged + unplugged). Have you guys had similar...

    Bridge Pup in Neck, Opinions/Experiences?

    So I put a Custom Custom in the bridge despite the fact that its a bridge model and it actually works great, its really creamy and smooth and I would think jazz players would really like it. Have you guys ever tried putting a bridge pickup into the neck position? What'd you think of it? P.S...

    Palm Mute With Fuzz Pedal?

    Hey guys, I picked up a EHX Big Muff a while ago (the one with the tone and wicker switch) and I'm in love with the tone I get from it, but palm muting with this thing really doesn't sound too great, it's more of a "glug glug glug" instead of "chug chug chug", it just sounds really farty and...

    Duncan Distortion Neck in Bridge? (Plus Magnet Swap Questions)

I've found a post online for a Duncan Distortion Neck, would...

    DiMarzio Mo Joe + Duncan Custom, unbalanced?

    Hi guys, I'm wanting to swap out the pickups in my guitar for something a little more to my tastes (they're vintage voiced and I like to play grunge and punk so they don't really cut it for me). I'm looking for a bridge pickup that's preferably higher output that has more harmonics and a crisp...

    Nitro tele for cheap?

    I really like that beat-up look that guitars get when their finishes wear off but I'm left handed (which limits my options even further) so so far the cheapest option for a tele with a nitro finish I've found is a used American 52 reissue for over a grand. I've considered refinishing a MIM...

    My pickups are too dull and low output

    I've recently bought a PureSalem Mendiola and the Kent Armstrong pickups it came with are less than satisfactory for me. They sound pretty dull and they don't handle gain very well for the grunge type stuff I like to play. What would be a good mid-high output pickup with a good amount of low end...
