anyone ever notice that when playing with the tone wizard, neither the JB nor Jazz pickup comes for ANY musical style with an ash body hardtail guitar with maple neck.... yet this is Seymour's signature combo in his telecaster? I mean, the guy who INVENTED all of the pickups made by the...

Is the clarity, touch sensitivity, and other single coil characteristics SOLELY a function of the lower output of the pickup or do the extra magnets in buckers also have a tonal effect (other than increasing the output)?

This seems to be a very common assesment of telecasters on this forum. I've played em and I love em, but I never quite got what people meant by this. Is it said because the light weight, single coils, etc. reflect more 'truly' what is being played than an LP style guitar? I notice that the...

given a hypothetical guitar with the same pups, back and cap, how much of a difference is there between a double cut and a single cut. Example, between an LP and an LP double cut? this makes the actual neck length shorter but what does this mean from a player's perspective?

hello, could any one you technical people tell me how I can manually increase the output of one of my pickups?

Hey guys... lusting for a hamer studio right now... I wanted to know what you thought of the 59 vs. the custom for the bridge. The reason I ask is that I am really leaning toward the c-5 over any other pickup but it doesnt seem much different than the 59 that comes in the bridge standard with...

Hey guys... considering I dont really have the ability to crank up a 100 watt amp around here... I was wondering your opinions on how much power you need for a gig. Playing live, with a band, do you think that 55 watts of honest tube power with two twelve inch speakers is enough? I always see...

I am interested in having the ability to control the amount of volume coming from my combo amp vs. an extension cab but am a bit confused here... Is there any way for the amp separate the 'external speaker' output vs the speaker in the combo? Basically I want to use a pedal like the EB...

hey i was wondering if anyone could fill me in on what these are and their tonal qualities. What is the difference between MFD pups and regular tele or strat single coils? They dont give much info on them other than that they are the last modifications Leo made to the pickup design on his...

what is the difference between a 'line out' on an amp and an output to the speaker(s)? (or headphones for that matter)

rivera has so many models and it seems like they are all so damn similar... the suprema 55, chubster 55, 5512 and fandango 55 all have two channels, a boost for each channel, reverb, and the same tubes.... so what the hell is the difference? anyone have enough experience with this company to...

ok I know I said before that I was gonna go for the f50... but now I'm having doubts. The rivera is pretty damn tempting espiecially from the standpoint of variety. I haven't been able to try either of these amps since I live in the middle of MAINE. sounds like the rivera has a more...

ok so if there's two guitars that are exactly the same pups and necks but one is ash and one is mahogany with maple cap would the sound be much different? The reason I ask is that I really want a tele with a JB/Jazz, and g&l makes a dual humbucker one with a jb in it but it's not the traditional...

the title says it all... what would be the exact process for converting one to the other? or would it just be easier to sell the cc and buy a c-5? is it hard to make one from the other?

hey scott (or anyone else) do you know what the duncan pups they put in the h150cm classic are?
