I thought I had already sold this, but apparently not. It is what the title says. Like new other than a small scratch over the D pole magnet and about 1/2" trimmed off the lead it's like new. $40 shipped/paypal'd takes it within US. Interested Internaional parties, PM for rates. Much love.

I can't seem to find the answer to this one and can't connect the dots in my brain. If I am using the wiring diagram for 3 stacks with splits, which connection should I make to ensure the bridge has a tone control? I'm pretty sure the light blue/purple line I have in the pic below is wrong...

Vintage Hot Stack Plus I was looking at the model combinations on the Stack Plus models and in two places SD's site recommends putting this Vintage Hot Stack Plus in the neck position. (It's also recommended on the Custom Stack Plus page.) My question is, does anyone know if this pickup only...

I just installed a Special in the bridge and a Vintage in the neck of my Tele and hooked them up to a 4 way switch. I think I'm in love.

The modeling on my VT30 isn't cutting it. What's your favorite pedal based effect?

Anybody with experience with the Antiquity 1 series have any thoughts on a setup with the Tele bridge and mid and neck strat pickup in a Tele? Seems like they all meter out about the same. Just tinkering with some different ideas. Thanks in advance :14:

Anybody else have a problem with the covers coming off of the new style 'lil' humbuckers? I had the cover come loose from my lil 59 tonight. Because of the construction, this means that the guts of the pickup are wiggling slightly towards and away from the strings. Had it only a few months...

I tried doing a search and couldn't find anything popping up of anybody that has this. (Several of people that thought they wanted it, but none of actual owners that I found.) Anybody have it...any thoughts in general. My thoughts for why I wanted it was to get more tube-ishness to come out...

Your thoughts? I've seen lots of props, but some bipolar reviews. Just trying to piece some thoughts together. Thanks in advance.

i was looking around for a full size PAF to stick in my brent mason-ish tele and came across a swap for a burstbucker 1. anybody else ever stick one of these in the neck position of a tele? i can find lots of reviews on the web for these in lp's and sg's, but not so much in alder bodied, maple...

I've posted a few times about my affinity for the Valley Arts Brent Mason Tele. It's a ton of fun to play and versatile enough to do darn near everything I would ever want. Well, here's my quick and dirty story of making my own version. It started life as this a nice, but underwhelming...

I need to add a couple of washers as a spacer for some pots on a Telecaster control plate. Is there a specific type of metal I should look for or avoid when buying them? This seems to be another of those tech issues that I am overthinking and can't quite come to a decision on. Thanks, Joe

Has anybody ever tried wiring a 5 way switch with a tapped bridge pickup in the one and three position? Would that even work? As a quick outline, if I'm hooking a tapped tele bridge up to a neck pickup, I've done it to a 5-way where I get this: 1- Tapped bridge 2- tapped bridge + neck 3- neck...

Please share with me your success or horror stories about routing for an additional pickup or modifying an existing rout. Any tips? Getting ready to mod a guitar in to a swiss army knife and am halfway hoping somebody talks me out of it. - Joe

The 5/2 has A5 mags on the bass and A2 on the treble. Interesting, but exactly opposite of the sides I prefer. I like the A2 on the bass side to reduce that percussive boom of an A5, but prefer the chime of an A5 on the treble side. Would this even work or make any sense whatsoever?? I'm...
