    Remove American Pro Jazzmaster tremolo arm

    Hi, I've been at it for at least 1 hour, I can't remove it! It's a screw in arm but when I try to unsrew it, the sleeve kinda ''unsrew'' with the arm and everything becomes loose. Anyone know how to remove it or if it's simply broken?

    Problem with my new American Pro Jazzmaster tremolo system

    Hi, Just bought a new Jazzmaster and the tremolo arm hole is really really loose and I can't even screw the arm in. Is there an easy fix I can do or should I just return it to the store? Thanks!

    Rattling sound coming from Fender Classic Player Jaguar bridge

    Hi, This seems to be a common problem among all Jaguars and Jazzmasters. I've tried a lot of things (guitar setup, cleaning tune-o-matic bridge, “filing” the saddles) and the rattling won't stop. Should I just buy an aftermarket tune-o-matic bridge? If so, can I install it myself or I should...

    Re: Buying an old used guitar The prices are in CAD. The guy asks for 950 bucks and doesn't want to go lower than that. A new American Standard Strat sells for $1800 roughly. Here's the 3 photos he sent me.

    Buying an old used guitar

    Hi, I was shopping on the used market a USA Stratocaster when I saw an old 1996 Strat. Having pretty much no experience on buying used guitars, I don't know if it is a good idea to buy a 20 years old guitar or if the "risk" is too big. What do you think?

    Hey, I am currently on the lookout to buy my first Stratocaster towards the end of the year. As I was looking at the range, I saw that the new MIM Deluxe series Strat offers similar specs to the American Standard Strat and is around the same price as an American Special Strat. My question is...

    Anyone tried the new Fender Bassbreaker 15?

    Hi, I'm looking for opinions on this new amp. I'm currently in the process of shopping for a new amp head to replace my Tiny Terror. I want a more pedal friendly amp that is british sounding and is capable of staying pretty clean over a moderately loud drummer. So far, It's a duel between the...

    Best humbucker set for funky, single coily sound

    Hello everyone, I was out to buy a Strat only to fill my need to get a guitar with a twang sound to play music in the style of Nile Rodgers and John Frusciante. I figure I would ask before doing that if there is a humbucker set that exists which could turn one of my humbuckers equipped guitar...

    Alnico II Pro bridge model in the neck?

    Hello, I would like to know if someone tried to put a APH-1B in the neck with a higher output pickup in the bridge like a JB or a Bare Knuckle Nailbomb, in my case. Would it sounds objectively bad or should I try it?
