    I didn't know if this should go here or in the ...

    Pickup Lounge. I need some help IDing these pickups. The guitar is a Fender FMT Tele Custom, Made in Korea, crimson red, neck through. Anyway, it has DiMarzio's in it. I'm not that familiar with that brand. They sound good but I don't know what models they are. The DiMarzio site doesn't...

    Telecaster neck comparison

    I have a stock '03 HW1 Tele. It has a rosewood fretboard. I always liked the sound of Strats with maple fretboards and wished I had got one with this guitar. But, tonight I was playing and just noticed a couple notes were so warm sounding. Is the maple a harsher sound? Is that why there is...

    Looking for some pickups...buy or trade for

    Some one has to have some Gibson 490R and 498T combos out of a Les Paul, SG, Epiphone, anything Gibson related. I found a pretty good '61 SG copy by a company called Davison. It's not bad, set neck, witch hat knobs. I cant tell what the body is. But its a cool cheapo. Let me know if you've...

    Anybody know about these Fenders?

    I picked this up today off Craig's List for $175. It needs a new tone pot and a good intonation setup. The previous owner took out the original Duncans and put int these white DiMarzios. It has a chip out around the bottom where the input jack is. Doesn't have the flame maple, but is a nice...

    I need some input ...

    I got a Les Paul Special today. The finish is just straight up mahogany with a light coat of black paint. It is faded in some areas. This is my first real Gibson Made in USA. I've had a couple Epiphones in the past. This guitar has sustain for days. It wasn't in the best shape, some grungy...

    Here's a weird question...

    Does anybody know what pickups would have been in Dickey Betts guitar from the song One Way Out. I believe he has the first solo. That is like the Holy Grail of Les Paul tone to my ears.

    Wasn't there a site...

    somewhere where you could design or put together an idea of a Strat or Tele?

    Can I change the bridge pickup...

    in my '03 Highway 1 Tele myself? What kind of skills do you need? Are the instructions clearly laid out? I have used a local factory trained tech for all my other pickup changes and setups. I was trying to save a couple bucks, but it might be worth it to have him still do the swap. I am...

    Help! Dumb guy question...

    I have a '03 Highway 1 Telecaster and I want to raise the neck pickup. Other than removing the pickguard which seems like a pain in the arse, how do I do this? I'm thinking this will give me some more bite. Help. Thanks.

    Does anyone know about Davison guitars?...

    I picked up a what seems to be a older model "SG" copy. Set neck, binding on neck that is turning a nice cream color, chrome covered humbuckers, seperate volume and tone knobs, nice cherry finish. I got it off Craig's list for under a $100. I looked up Davison on the net and could find...

    I picked up a DOD FX96 delay, echo

    I got this used last nght off Craigs List for $40. Seems cool, 4 knobs. There seems to be two types one with a couple of tape reels painted on it and one with out. Nime has the reels on it. I know it is discontinued, but I wanted to see if anyone has one or experience with one. Good or bad.

    Can I use the cable...

    that came with a Fender Frontman's footswitch for a speaker cable to go from the external speaker jack on my H & K to my speaker jack on my Hartke 4X12? Or do I have to get a "true" speaker cable? All I know is you can't use guitar cable for speaker cable.

    Highway One Tele Pickups

    Does anyone know what are the stock p/u's? Other than the vague info on Fender's site I'm not sure. I love the sound, but I was thinking of dropping in something a little hotter in the bridge. Something a little thicker sounding. Suggestions? Lil '59? I'm not sure. Mostly a metal player...
