Son's guitar has a 1 humbucker, 1 volume configuration. I went to buy a push/pull to do a coil split on it. The store was out but the tech had one he had used previously. Now the question. The tech had a 022 cap attached to the third (ground) lug on one end with the other end of the cap going...

$60 shipped US - more outside US This one was pulled from a Fender Showmaster Blackout and has a full 12 inches of wire. Double black with logo. +++++++++++ From the Fender web site:::We collaborated with Seymour Duncan® on this specially designed humbucking pickup which was used on our...

I've got this guitar that has two Bill and Becky Lawrence P90s (L609s) with a single BL noiseless in the middle. Becky said it could use either 250K or 500K pots. The guy who built it used 500K. Instead of the 2nd tone it has a Fat-O-Caster V2. Now the problem, in positions 2 & 4 rolling off...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVnZLuOTP_0 On a Les Paul (Tokai LoveRock) would the Jimmy Page wiring be the closest to this? I would also like to try this from scratch on maybe a PRS SE. Could someone modify one of the schematics to match this exactly and post it here? I sent the guy a...

Saw a strat style guitar in a pawn shop today. Had a sleek headstock that had Falcon written on it in somewhat scripted letters. On the back was something that led one to believe it was made or assembled in the US, possibly California, but don't quote me on that. It looked like it had fairly...

Had a neck made (USACG), had a builder cut a flying V shaped headstock, the guy drilled the holes for the tuners fairly far from the bridge to try and keep the strings as straight as possible. So my choices are put the 3+3 tuning pegs on the wrong side so it looks better but I have to spin the...

I believe this is trem spaced as it came out of a Fender Blackout with a trem. $65 shipped, insured, signature required. 12 inches lead. No trades. Payment via PayPal or Postal Money Order.

EDIT: Pearly Gates Plus 12.5 inches of lead. Came out of a Fender Showmaster Blackout. Original owner. $65 Shipped and PayPal echeck in Conus. Slightly more elsewhere. I'll check pm's/email'a couple of times a day. Edit: I'm selling this for my son so no trades.

The lack of maturity of some supposedly stellar "Good Traders" has really gotten me gun shy about buying off of this forum. In the past month I have bought some parts, pickups and a guitar - all from people with numerous kudos on the good trader alert. I don't question their integrity, just...

Schecter's higher end stuff offers a great value in guitars (this listed $819, and $550 street). This model is now out of production. I'm guessing it will not become a collectable, but it is a great playing/sounding guitar. Does have some pick swirls and minor scratches with one longer scratch...

Without going back to the inital thread Original Post, Livewire Metals were suggested for my son's guitar. He bought those and we put them in. Yes, he loves them, so thank you, theodie, for the high recommendation...no, make that absolute insistance upon getting them. This is how I wired them...

Then why does every Clapton model Fender come with the vintage frets (almost the same size as the Dunlop 6230 = .080 x .043)

Son has a Fender Showmaster Blackout with a Pearly Gates Plus (B) and 59 reverse polarity (N) (that's how H-C described them). B***wood body, rosewood fretboard, 3 position switch. He's looking at an Invader for the bridge. I've heard they can be on the muddy side for lead work. I'm...

I've been having a hard time finding anything U.S. related to this guitar. I'm not getting any info off of the Ibanez Forum. Does anyone know anything about these? • Years made? • Original selling price? • Were they ever sold in the U.S. or were they strictly Japanese? • How do I figure out...
