hey everyone, i'm getting a new six string guitar soon, 26.2" scale length to be tuned around C and B. i love my Full Shred set on my current main guitar which i tune to D standard, i love the tightness in the low register, the smoothness when i go high on the fretboard, and the clarity...

hey everyone, i've got a pair of SD humbuckers on my guitar, the 59 in the neck and the Full Shred in the bridge. it used to be a Custom Custom there, which was nice but not what i wanted, and switched to the FS which suits me far better. the problem now is that the 59 and the FS don't really...

i've been with the Ernie Ball not even slinky and heavy bottom/light top sets lately, they sound awesome during the first couple of weeks but later on it feels like something's covering my entire guitar, reducing its resonance. perhaps it just needs to get set up, but while we're at it, i'd...

hi hi, you've guessed it, i want to downtune my guitar to B standard, 2.5 steps down, and to do so i'll have to change my strings to avoid the avoidable-if-done-correctly 'flubbleblubbleblub'. the set i have now on is the heavy top light bottom ernie ball set, 10-52, on my 25.5" set neck...

in summer 2008, i traveled overseas, from lebanon to canada, to visit my family and my then-girlfriend who now lives there. a month had passed, it was time for me to come back to lebanon. i went to the airport at the scheduled night, with my grandmother who was coming with me. we went inside...

please lecture me on the different effects that i should expect from adjusting the height of a pickup or its coils (=

i read in another thread i can't find about someone wanting to change the pole pieces to the appropriate hex screws. i just have a couple of questions though, first is it really possible ? any things to keep in mind during the procedure ? also, what winding does the full shred has ? i read...

i have the not even slinky set (56-12) on the standard E tuning on my guitar. it's a set neck with a string-through thingie. i thought of putting it up on the standard tuning to practise my hands on a hard tension before tuning it down, but i'm a bit worried of the stress it's putting on my...

i somehow have a feeling that different magnet types have an influence on how distinct do different notes sound in a chord, especially when played with some gain, is that true ?

i was thinking of installing thicker strings, 13-56 or 59 or the likes on my 25.5 guitar, because my 10-52 just don't do it for a drop-C tuning. should i worry about the heavy gauge doing too much pressure on the neck or whatever part of my guitar on a standard tuning ?

is it possible ? how easy is it to do ? and how money-friendly is getting a guy to do it compared to buying a new one and having a guy install it ? thing is, i have an sh-11 in my guitar and wanted something a bit more punchy for rythm playing. i just had the idea of replacing its A2 magnet...

i have a washburn x-50 with the CC in the bridge. i used to think the background hum came from my rig which isn't ideal, but today i tried my older guitar to compare. i have a boss mt-2 metal zone pedal and a vantage 30 watt amp. not the best there is, but it manages. so i tried my old samick...

i have a strat-style mahogany with maple top guitar, it has the SH-1 on the neck and the custom custom at the bridge. it sounds really well, only it's not exactly my thing, i wanted something that sounds a bit more modern and with some extra punch in distortion (riffs, palm mutings and drop...
