    Meet the Twins

    Brought the Explorer home this weekend. We set it up yesterday and it's sweet. It'll make a nice companion for the SD-equipped Flying V. :banana: Need to find a gold colored whammy bar for it. Pickups sound fairly good, but I'll probably pull em and put in some Duncans. Slightly better pic.

    What do You Think - 2nd Parts Build

    Bought the body from J. Moose Kahr off this board, outfitted it with Seymour Duncan pups, a Mighty Mite neck, and a Floyd Rose system (using 4 springs). This is surely the nicest guitar I've ever owned. The Floyd Rose is awesome to use. Guitar plays like a dream. Thanks J. Moose for...

    Which SD pups?

    this is an alder body. I'd appreciate any suggestions. I want NASTY and NICE. the local guitar shop guy and I talked today and he's saying a JB for sure, and I'm thinking a 59 neck. I'm also thinking about the distortion set, which, in the past, was highly recommended by JB from Hell for...

    Needed, A Couple Non-Working (Junk) SD Humbuckers

    I'm doing a test run guitar body build, using a piece of pine. Being a newbie as far as routing out pickup and control cavities with templates, I thought I'd practice on cheap wood. Does anybody have a junk drawer with a couple of non-working SD humbucker pickups that they'd like to part...

    New Guitar Project - Headstock Repair ?

    I'm going to be bringing a BC Rich Warlock back to life. Purchased the body from a fellow off this board, which needs a neck. I found the neck at the local guitar shop, attached to a raped out Warlock body. The problem is the Low E position's tuner hole is half gone. I'm going to have...

    Got Myself a Shop Amp

    Wanted something for practicing while out in the shop area, with the cheapie Silverton Paul Stanley Sovereign, whose new home is the shop. I wanted something small, and I found it. http://www.smokeyamps.com/Smokey_Pages/smokey.html At the store, we plugged it into a 4x12 cab and it sounded...

    Could Somebody Briefly Explain -

    Wet and Dry signals (whatever the proper word is). I'm pouring through my Black Box manual, places on the internet, trying to learn all I can about recording guitar and recording in general. I keep coming across wet/dry. What's that mean?

    I Bought a Cheap Guitar Today.

    It was all in the looks, at the local small store. Love those guys. Paul Stanley Signature Series "Silvertone Sovereign". Size is perfect, neck is perfect for my hands, and it looks cool. They're doing a setup just for buying the thing, with new strings, no extra cost. The specs say...

    Grizzly Guitars

    www.grizzly.com. Search Guitar. This brings up the kits. Guitars brings up parts, etc. I emailed them and they're willing to sell just bodies and necks, or other separate parts. Waiting to hear from them again, re the body and neck I want. Anybody have any experience with these guitars...

    Soldering my New Pickups with ...

    the Coldheat. This thing is brand new, and I've read some negative reviews of the thing. Should I try and do the complete soldering job with this thing, or should I just go out and get a soldering iron? I know not to use a gun. Any input on brands for reliability and value would be much...

    Newbie has a Guitar Project

    I bought a stripped body off Craigslist for $30 - 1 1985 Aria Pro II xx-ms Flying V. The only hardware on it is the truss road and the springclaw underneath. I ordered a Strat style tremelo from All Parts, because this appears to be what was in there. One research spot said his had a Floyd...
