Is there any difference, that's worth an extra £300-400, between the SG Special and the SG Standard? All i know of is, the inlays and the general aesthetics of the whole thing. So, what the hell is the difference? I'm buying either one next month, so, let me in on your thoughts :-). Alex

Okie folks, i just ordered some of these beauties, and they should be arriving within the next few days. This is the first time that i will of installed SD's into my Jaguar... Does anyone have any input into these? I'm used to using a JB/Jazz combo, so, how would it compare?? And if any of you...

Which do you prefer? I have a JB in my SG, and i'm planning on installing a Hotrails in my Jaguar. I have asked before, but no-one actually answered my question. Please don't criticise me for changing pickups in the Jaguar, i know what i'm doing..i'm not a newbie, i'd just like to know your...

Okie people, i've decided to Seymourize my Jaguar. I have a JB in my SG, and i want something similiar to the JB, for it's crunch but without the loose bottom-end...Is the Hotrails the way to go? And also, does anyone know how it'll sound in a Jaguar? Also, does anyone have experience with the...

I've read about people doing this on here, and i'm seriously considering doing it...Isn't a distortion basically a JB but with a different magnet?? If so, which one? Where do you buy them?? And last but probably not least..How do you do it??? Alex x

Alright folks, first time i've "advertised" my band on here..i really just want opinions. Bear in mind, these are ONLY demo's! And my computer is a bit naff..sound quality isn't fantastic. Please let me know what you think :-). Constructive crticism please :-P. Nice one...

Okie, my friend wants to record vocals over my guitar stuff, we need to keep it cheap. So, for a microphone with an XLR connector, can you get an adaptor so that you can plug this microphone into a USB port into the computer??

Alright folks, i'm trying to find three single-coils, not SD's simply because i can't afford them for quite some time. And i'm not too fussed on that "professional" sound at the moment, i have my SG for that. Anyhow...I need three decent strat pickups for a grungey tone, not that much bite...

In comparison to the JB or the '59, what does the Hot Rails sound like?? More output? More or less clarity? e.t.c..

Alright, i read that if you replace the magnet in the JB, for a ceramic magnet, it will be a Distortion. Is this true??? I want to replace the JB with a distortion, and if this is true, i'll save myself the money i can spend on upgrading my new Jazzmaster. Can someone also explain how you swap...

Alright, i've purchased a lovely new Jaguar/Jazzmaster knockoff...And i need some new pickups. Basically, something with a decent amount of crunch and sustain in the bridge with clarity e.t.c..I'm new to single coils, so help me out lol. Umm..i play anything from heavy-rock, big crunchy power...

Alright folks..i've had a JB in the bridge of my SG for almost a year now. But, for my fast riffing, it seems a little slack on the low-end, whilst holding up brilliantly on the high-end. I need some recommendations for possibly, a better bridge pickup, to suit my needs. I play heavy-rock, a lot...

Okie, i've looked at the options on the SD site..and i'm a tad confused. It has "Jazzmaster" pickups, especially designed for just that. And Stratocaster pickups..I'm new to single-coils, by the way. Anyhow, what's the difference between the Jazzmaster pickups and the Stratocaster ones??? Cheers...

Alright, i bought a Bigbsy B5 knock-off from Ebay, that unfortunately came without screws and instructions. So, screws isn't a problem..but..instructions are. How do you install it? And how do you put the strings onto it??? I've tried googling it, without much luck. I'm installing it onto an SG...

I'm going to sell my Epiphone G310 on Ebay. It's fitted with SD, JB/Jazz..i've changed the stock tuning keys to ones that actually work. I've changed the pickguard to a much thicker one, that looks more like the original thing and i've changed the bridge and the tailpiece. These things retail at...
