Anybody know if the SD woody single coil acoustic soundhole magnetic pickup is reverse wound like usual neck pickups ? I need to know if it would be noise canceling when used in combination with a typical single coil bridge pickup.

Took awhile...not that there was anything particular about the Italia, except that I first tried to use the SD mounting rings because they did fit the Phat Cats better, but the mounting screw holes didn't line up... Funny how something as simple as a humbucker mount can't be universal. The...

Maybe wacky, but here goes: Anybody know if the Lace Sensor Dobro pickup -a very low profile, stick on, strat lookin' thang- is single coil (no mention at their web site) ? Here's the deal... I want to know if it would be noise cancelling in conjunction with a Phat Cat neck pickup (reverse...

So my hair's been getting pretty long again and my guitar riffing has been quite inspired of late (IIDMSSM) but...now that I'm in my middle youth, I really hate to bother with the hassles of long hair and the heat -I'm down here in Elvisville. But I'm kinda afraid there may be a connection...

Music123 and others are advertising the Marshall ECC81/12AT7 tube, but there are no pics and I'm curious who really makes it. Is it Chinese, Russian, NOS (hehheh)... does anybody have a clue (and a review) ? I'm looking for an 12AT7 to add some headroom to my Crate V58, and I'd like to...

Anybody think this could be a cool improvement ? The existing pups don't do a whole lot for me and I need to open 'er up anyway to clean the switch, which is noisy and shorting out. What about Seymour's Strat lipsticks ? I know it'd be a very cool look, if nothing else... but I want it to sound...

Any of you tube geeks know if there is a difference between the 6021 and the 6021W ? What does that "W" stand for anyhoot ?

I know that the bridge and neck Phat Cats are reverse wound from each other so that when used together they are noise cancelling. Does anybody know what would happen if you used a pan pot instead of the pickup selector ? I guess this would be about the same as selecting both picups with a...
