The original tuners on my Les Paul Standard are really loose in their action. There's no screw on the keystone to tighten them up. Just wondering if there is any way to tighten up the action, short of full replacement with new repros? (E.g. can the backs come off and tighten up the gear?)

My niece wants to learn guitar. She's Japanese, so she likes bands like Whiteberry, (or others that sound like Scandal, etc; kind of pseudo-metal J-pop style, though not Baby Metal.). Looking in the sub-$500 range, preferably near the $300 range, but can be flexible. Yamaha Pacifica's have low...

This is what I have, by model number: ​ And sorted by resistance measurement:

Now we're talking! If they sound like regular Phat Cats but balance the output, that would be the quintessential PAF sound. Needed this silent version for a while. Phat Cats almost ended my tone chase, but buzz was the only reason I didn't keep 'em...

Are these Seymour Duncan Trisonics? These are from 1993 on a Guild replica of a Brian May guitar. Does anyone happen to know anything about these, specs, construction, can the Custom Shop still make them?

Brian May Super. Took 6-7 years to get on the waiting list and another 3 years to get the guitar. Came with a nice hard-shall Hiscox case. I have it's cheaper mate I bought 10 years ago as a second. The 'Super' is a beautiful instrument. Well worth the wait for me. One of a kind and...

I've noticed a number of jazz/fusion/shred players using things to mute open strings at the nut or first couple frets. Usually it's when they are tapping and they are not using the open strings. My assumption is this is to avoid stray open notes and keep the playing clean, and also to not have...

I think you get down points for distracting from your settings. You might recover some points if you say those socks have a special abrasive sole that makes clicking buttons more efficient. But I doubt it. :raincloud (ha ha) :burnout:

Now I can see why things like Duncan's Noiseless P-90, the Holcomb sets, the Green Magic set, the Steckel "Candy" set and Lara Basilio sets are important to be competitive. I hope Duncan keeps it up. Here's the Gibson stuff. https://www.gibson.com/en-US/Collection/pickupshop-new-arrivals...

This guy is using a P-Rail neck and sounds super clean, like the classic ES-335 kind of tone people chase. P-Rail owners, is this just the P-90? Or is this both coils in parallel? Or does the neck sound like that normally? https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cl6nb7hpAgG/

Mincer Any other news, specs, information (not contained in the article) about these? How does the tech differ from stacks? Would it be possible to fit these in a PhatCat format? https://www.guitarworld.com/news/seymour-duncan-silencer-p-90

At 11:30 he's discussing his Tele, which he insists is all Seymour Duncan electronics, even saying it's "Seymour Duncan's design". I assume that just means the two pots and the pickups. Anyone know what exactly is in this guitar? Did Seymour actually wire it up for him?
