Hey all, Need some advice. A friend of a friend is selling his Charvel Model A Plus HSS model for about $525.00........From what the guy is telling me is that its made in Japan but it comes standard with a Pearly Gates Humbucker and 2 "Lil' screamin' Demons pickups. The body is Mahogany with a...

Hey All, Does anybody have any experience with these new PUPs? Guess they were designed for Jeff Beck's signature strat. I like the regular silent PUPs but I guess their supposed to be a bit hotter sounding...........

Greeting all, Well I did it again. Did my weekly treck to GC. The sales guy I always use asked if I was interested in another strat. I told him I was a reborn Music Man guy but they didn't have anything I liked (had a couple of Axis guitars which I don't like) and was not here to buy another...

Hey All, Been on this amp buying binge for a couple of weeks now (just got a TSL 601) but now wanted to get something small to knock around. Has anyone played one of the solid state orange practice amps (15 watters I think)? Got good feedback on harmony central and price isn't too bad...

Greetings all, Well it's that time of year again, time to retube the ole' Deluxe reverb. Was wondering if anyone knows of a good place online to buy good quality tubes at a good price?

Hey all, Did my bi-weekly trek to GC today and got a super deal on a Marshall TSL 601 Combo 1x12!!. Wasn't looking for a new amp but I was just browsing and noticed that this amp was marked down to $529.00 (from $1199). I played around with it and just loved the tone of the 3 channels. I asked...

Greetings all, Need a little help. I'm considering buying another Fender MIA standard strat, Nothing fancy as far as bells and whistles, even a couple of dings are ok. Was on ebay and most standard MIA's are going for around $600. What price I should be looking for? Was thinking about $500...

Greetings All, Am looking to change the Pups out of my new MM Sub 1 AXE! The body is poplar with a rosewood neck so I'm a little confused with what to get. I've never owned a poplar bodied axe so thats why I'm asking. As far as a neck humbucker I looking for something with a fat sound and good...

Hey All, Just picked up a new MM Sub 1 (great axe by the way). The stock humbucker PUPs are ok but are no Duncans. I've figured I'm going to put a '59 in the neck but the bridge pickup I'm still trying to decide. I'm looking for something with a nice bottom end and good harmonics. I want...

Hey all, Just a topic off top of my head. Every guitar/bass player has their favorite "tech" guy or shop for the quality of work and of course service and price. Here's mine: Specimen Guitars- 1240 N. Homan Ave.Chicago www.specimenguitars.com Ian Schneller's a great luthier who makes all...

Hey All, Was at GC today and was looking around for a second hand axe for about $500.00, didn't see any Fenders worth buying so the guy helping me out asked I ever tried the Ernie Ball Axes. I've played them before and liked them but they were too expensive. He asked if I tried the new Sub 1...

Hey all, I'm thinking about refitting my MIM strat with some new PUPs. Big U2 fan and was wondering if anybody has any suggestions on what Pups to get for that chiming tone the Edge gets. I'm not sure if Edge uses Duncans or not but any help would be appreciated.

Hey All, Was playing one these guitars the other day and I was very impressed with it. Believe the one I was playing was around $500.00 at GC. Had nice tone and Duncan pickups that were standard on it. But I guess these are made in Korea and not Mexico like most lower end Fenders.....Would...

Greetings All, Was checking one of these out at GC. Was thinking of upgrading my standard MIM strat with one of these. Really like the pickup switch that activates the rear pickup in the 4 and 5 position, plus the vintage noiseless pickups are ok to. Anybody own one of these? Would love to...
