Does anyone have a set of pups out of a beater? I am about to sell my Dean Icon and want to keep the SD's I have in it for now. I may sell them down the road but for now I know they won't truly help the resale value of the Dean. Anyone?

I know I could hit up Stewmac or Allparts but I thought I would see if any forum brothers had any of this stuff laying around in a drawer. .1 tone cap - 250k audio taper pot (2) Cream Chickenhead knobs If you are willing to part with anything please PM what you have and what it will cost.

This popped up on a close by Craigslist. http://jackson.craigslist.org/msg/2813341463.html What do you think? What should I consider when looking at these? I love Explorer style guitars. I've always like the way these looked but never played one. How about the price?

Once upon a time I loved rosewood. I still love rosewood. I only wanted rosewood on my fretboad. Strat, LP, Explorer... Then I bought a strat with a Maple neck. For years I have vowed to buy a proper rosewood neck (w/ big CBS headstock) but now everytime I see one listed on here or think I...

I spent most of last year beefing up my pedal board. So far I am pretty happy with what I have come up with. Here is a cellphone pic of the work in progress. A friend of mine is building the actual board. It's a little bit bigger than I expected but it's free labor so I am not complaining. I...

I'm toying with the idea of swapping the the PG in my MIM strat. They guitar plays great. Sounds great. I have SSL1's in the neck and mid and definitely love the way they sound. Neck and Mid pups combined is easily my favorite setting on any strat and this one is no exception. I am...

MXR 10 Band EQ w/ box and adapter. Great condition. Works perfectly. It is a great tone shaping tool but it is too much for me. I don't use it as much as I would like. So it just takes up space on my board. I'm interested in an MI Audio Blues Pro (any version) or similar dirt pedals. Or an...

I've got a Dean Icon that I rewired a few years back. Just got it back from a friend who has had it for a few years. It has a 59/C5 combo in it. One of the pots is bad so I was considering rewiring it once I got it opened up. It's a three way switch with master tone and master volume at...

Full Disclosure... I won't be able to purchase until after Christmas so this may need another bump. Who here is getting rid of a fuzz? Not looking for a fuzz/octave unless you can split the functions. Not looking for a Big Muff. I'm pretty open though. Looking to buy but may consider a...

I took some time tonight to play with my DynaComp. I've had it for months and only used it a time or two. I had trouble dialing this two knob devil in. But tonight I seemed to get it. For once I really felt that this could have a permanent place in my rig. Certainly not an always on piece but...

I'm considering adding a fuzz pedal to my board. I've got a great OD in my fulldrive and my classic distortion and crunchbox make for great distorted tones... But lately I've been thinking I want a nasty fuzz tone. So... fuzz enthusiasts... please make a case as to Why I should add a fuzz box...

The postman brought me some new tubes for my AC15! A day later than estimated shipping but I can forgive... I went with a full retube. Poweramp tubes - Matched pair Sovtek EL84. I chose a Late Distortion option to try and maximize headroom. Preamp tubes - V1 - Ruby HG+ V2 - PentaLab V3 -...

Master Volume pot mysteriously stopped working on my Strat. Opened it up and didn't see any loose solder joints but haven't had the time to really work through it. The volume is wide open regardless of how it is adjusted. What could cause this? It was working fine the last time I played...

I'm close to deciding on whether or not to get a LR Baggs X-Bridge for my strat. I've got a few questions for anyone that has experience with this unit. 1) I am getting the Vintage style to match my MIM 6 screw bridge. But I hear that the screw spacing is slightly different. If I have to fill...

Looking for a Metric TOM bridge. Not really looking for anything that would be considred an upgrade. An old one that was pulled off of an Epiphone LP should work. It's going on an Dean Icon.
