Hey guys, I am thinking about trying the duality pickups in an EC-1000. My big question was how do they sound compared to other pickups that are active like the EMG 81/85 set? How do they sound compared to other active PU’s with the EC 1000 guitars? What’s the tone profile? Are they any better...

Hey everyone, I got a quick question for you all. I am tracking lead guitar today I will be playing out of a 6505+ on the lead & crunch channels. Two songs will be using the crunch channel; they are pop punk songs with a lot of octave leads. The other songs are metalcoresqu with chugs...

Want Opinion on a Topic That’s Been Covered A Million Times Hey guys, I have a question about some amps. For some backup information I recently got moved to lead guitar in my band after much pressure from them. We play like metalcore and easycore stuff; everyone’s favorite two genres within...

I am looking to upgrade my trem system but don’t want to have the block stick out of the back of the guitar. It is a thinner body than my MIM Strats. Not as thin as an affinity Strat though. Thank you guys!

I have a Harley Benton guitar I am going to mod up. Seems to be a good bones guitar for $100. It has surprisingly nice fretwork and the nut is slotted well. The build quality is great for how cheap I got it. The tuners are trash, pickups are even worse, electronics are just dime pots, but it has...

First time posting in the amp section on here. I am looking for a new amp, specifically a head, but open to combo suggestions. Background: The band that I play in plays metalcore to pop-punk and things in between. I currently am using a Orange Crush Pro 120 out of a PPC 2x12. I am looking...

I am working on my first ever build from a plain block of wood and wanted to know if anyone had used these? If you have; What did you try? Was the quality of the PU good? How did it sound? Was it comparable to another PU? Were they worth the money or should I spend a little more? I’m not...

I posted about 2 weeks ago about a strat I just picked up. It’s definitely a start for someone playing mild music and not someone with a lot of focus on aggressive styles. The humbucker in the bridge sounds alright but I want something that does really good for heavier playing styles with a...

Hi everyone, I was wondering what the routing was like in a Player Series Strat. I would like to put two humbuckers in but don’t know if it is routed for just HSS or if HSH is an option (I’d just use HH). Second question, good pickup for heavy rhythm playing. I have thought about a Pegasus or...

Normal spacing would be preferred but I’ll do trem spacing if that’s what you have. If you have chrome covers I’d also be interested in buying those. PM if you are wanting to sell and we can work out a price!

I am playing in E standard, Drop D, and Drop A right now. I have a speaker (some Jensen) and go high to moderate gain in practice. The amp head I use at practice is just a Joyo Zombie but my home practice setup is usually Vintage 30’s with an Orange head and an OCD thrown in. I love the zombie...

Good Duncan PU’s for Low Tunings I recently purchased an Agile AL-3020 27” scale. I don’t think the pickups are trash... however they aren’t great. They might be good for someone playing low gain and clean but they don’t break up the greatest and can be somewhat muddy and or thumps (not in a...

I was hoping someone on here had a used baritone in the 300-500 price range. I am looking for one that does not look like a “metal” guitar. More traditional looking, single cut or a not pointy start style. I’m looking to play hardcore styles with it. I have been looking into agile guitars too as...

It is overall in really good condition cosmetically! Black with a gold pick guard and fender noiseless pickups. Everything works well and plays good too. I’ll post pictures if anyone is interested. I’m asking $675 and will include a set of strings I got a while back but haven’t needed yet...

I know this is probably not what many people are looking for but I have an AKG 190 dynamic mic that I have no use for. It is in very good shape cosmetically and seems to work fine. If any of you are interested make me an offer. I know they go for about 100-140 on the market. I am not looking to...
