Hey guys - So a while back I got a Tele and tricked it out. I basically was trying to turn it into a Brent Mason machine. It has a Vintage Hot Stack in the bridge, a Cool Rails for Strat in the middle, and a Mini Humbucker in the neck. But the blend circuit never really worked like I wanted...

Hey guys. I'm having yet another project idea. I thought I was done for a while...but then I got an email from the place I'd bought my last body. They had all rosewood necks for cheaper than I was likely to ever see one again. So I had to. I got a Strat neck, modern 22 fret version rosewood...

Hey guys. I'm doing another project guitar and had ideas again. Yeah. I know. I probably need an intervention. But this one's REALLY cool! (like the others...Yeah. Intervention. I get it.) So I found a Strat neck for too cheap to pass up. Rosewood with a rosewood fingerboard. Oooooooooooh...

Okay, I'm starting another project guitar. This one will be limited to the two-humbuckers-one-vol-one-tone-one-switch or two-humbuckers-two-vols-one-tone or similar that older PRS's had. I got to hear a 59/Custom Hybrid bridge and I dug it. It made me think, is there a hybrid set? How...

So I was looking at a thread where a guy had installed a P90-ish p'up underneath the pickguard without it being visible. I want to know how well that works. I'm in the midst of a Tele mod project. I'm currently at the point where it'll look a lot like a 52 Hot Rod Tele, but I want to have a...

I picked up my Tele yesterday! It's a MIM FSR in butterscotch and black with maple with the three brass barrel ashtray bridge and the reversed control plate. From arms length or more away it could pass for an AVRI 52 Tele. I won a gig bag for it on ebay tonight. It's a Kases tweed Tele/Strat...

Hi everyone. I'm picking up a new Tele Monday and I'm pretty excited about it. I've been planning a mod project for a while and I'm getting started in less than a week! Yay! Except for two things I'm ready to go. The controls are still a little vague, but I'm working on that. The other...

Well I finally had a few extra bucks. And I've been waiting to buy a set of P-Rails and Triple Shots for weeks. So yesterday morning I ordered them from Wymore...and got a 'shipped' email not even twelve hours later. You can't beat that. I'm getting disturbingly excited looking at my Cherry...

Sorry. I got excited. I like to get cheap guitars and mod them until they are stealthy slayers. I'm wanting to put a set of P-rails and Triple Shots in an Epiphone Dot. But first I have to have money to pay for it. But then I figured: as long as I'm swapping out the p'ups, it needs better...

I see a lot of posts here casually advising "Just switch out the magnets." I've never done that. So I want, well, every single scrap of information you can give me about it. How hard is it? How do you do it? What changes in tone can you predict? Does it hurt the old magnets when you pull...

I saw that Son Of Monster made a thread to introduce himself and I figured I shoud probably do the same. I'm an old fart. I turn 45 in a couple of weeks. I'm mostly a bass player. But I play AT everything else. I'm a mediocre guitarist and craptacular keyboardist. But I mostly only play keys...
