hi i use a fender super champ xd and i'm looking to upgrade the crappy stock 10 inch speaker to either an eminence Copperhead or Rajun Cajun. Does any one have any experience with either of these speakers? what do they sound like? what are the major differences? what fender amps could they...

hey, heres something no one has thought of... pickup magnets age and their sound softens as they get older. Seymour is already pre-ageing the magnets on his antiquity humbuckers to soften the treble, so if they are already aged now then won't they sound like muddy crap in another 40 years? i...

hey so i want to get a strat middle pickup and a tele bridge pickup, both for the same guitar (it is a squier vintage modified ssh tele with maple neck). I play the standard classic/ blues rock fare and i use a fender super champ xd amp. i am looking for a classic 50's chimey bell like slightly...

Okay, i can't decide, i want to hear your opinions on their sounds, fire away EXTRA questions: which set sounds thicker (more bass)?, how much do the inconsistencies in the DC resistance between antiquity sets make a difference? which pickup has a warmer overdrive sound (more open, less...

hey, so i use an epiphone dot 335 style guitar with a fender super champ xd (btw, best amp for its price on the planet) and i want to get new pickups. i'm interested in the ones in the title, but each has their flaws. I was sold on the seth lovers but i'm terrified of the feedback and squeal...

Okay so I have a 2007 or 2008 epiphone 335 (dot) that I am considering modyfying with new pickups (possible bare knuckle mules) and rs guitar works vintage wiring kit (cts pots, vintage wire, etc...). I heard about triple shot and have questions. How does it work, I heard it attaches to a 3...

how do you play a song in E-flat minor (song is cemeteries of london by coldplay). do you use capo or change tuning? if capo what fret?

Is it possible to put a p90, mini humbucker, and jazzmaster pickup all in the same three pickup guitar (espirit 3 from fret king, blue label series, www.jhs.co.uk.)? what are pros or cons? would they combine okay when using a 5-way selector switch?

I have looked at 59 classic humbuckers for my new epi dot but i'm confused because musicians friend sell those, but they also sell packaged (2 to a box) "blues 59 classics". They say these are calibrated. what does that mean and are the blues 59's any different from the regular ones (if so then...

Does anyone know if there is a difference between the regular 59 classic humbuckers sold seperatley and the pair of so called "blues 59's" that are boxed together (look on musician's friend). what do you mean by calibrated and single conductor?

I have a new epi Dot that i want to switch out the pickups on. looking at duncans only, need advice. i know a 59 classic is going in neck, but what about bridge. i need something that will work well with a semi-hollow and won't be overly tinny/trebly (this i why i worry about pearly gates)...

What does anyone think about replacing the strat pickup on a nashville tele with a jaguar one?

Anyone have good ideas for a humbucker that would be tonally and technically similar to the original fender telecaster custom wide range humuckers? Because, lets be honest here, the pups on the new mexican tele customs suck.

Has anyone ever tried installing a p-90 pickup in treble position and jazzmaster pickup in rhythm position in the same guitar? if so, whats it like, or at least what do you think of this idea tonally?

So if i'm a young guitarist getting a first amp but have reasonably good taste and high standards but $400 or less in my pocket what sort of amp should i get. mind you, it must not be related to metal playing, has to be at least a hybrid tube, and good for any sort of blues, classic, or modern...
