Like the title says. Got an interesting Duncan or DiMarzio you'd want to trade for an SSL-1? Humbucker or single, whatever. Don't need a JB, got one spare already.

I wanted to do something along the lines of Metallica's slower songs like Sad But True and 2X4 so came up with this today, literally took me about two hours. There's a bit of Slayer in there too I think. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, my drumming is really getting better and the...

www.myspace.com/marchofalaric Just a little cover version we're working on at the Ripper Owens forum. I've done all the guitars, bass and drums for now, although other guys from the forum are going to be doing their parts when they get time. The vocals were by Javier de la Cruz from the forum...

I have an SSL-1 which I'd like to trade for something like a Cool/Vintage Rails, or one of the lower output stacked single coils. Has to be black. Would consider a Little 59/Jb Jr or similar too. I don't care how old it is or how beat up it looks, just as long as it works fine. Anyone...

Anyone got an old beat up Invader for the bridge position, lying in a drawer or whatever that they'll let go for not too much $$$? :cool2: I'm in the UK, but obviously I'll be paying the postage fees (via Paypal or cheque PO in the UK if you like) so that shouldn't be an issue.

Okay, my Line 6 Guitarport is really poor for recording acoustic guitars, but I did this with it anyway. So excuse the poor guitar tone. I used my new USB drumkit, which I'd been learning to play for about two hours when I recorded it. Oh, and I'm no singer either, but wanted the vocals on it...

This is for people who ask "What pickup do I need to do pinch harmonics". I recorded this using Toneport, a setting with not a huge amount of gain (it's my normal hard rock go-to setting). First is a JB. Second is a single coil from a Squier strat, in the neck position, and it's so far away...

I liked the guitar I saw Martin Barre of Jethro Tull playing live recently, but I have no idea what the heck it was. It was like an ES-335, Casino, Dot type thing (I don't know nothin' 'bout semi hollows) but it was about the size of a Les Paul. Looked really, really cool. I've had a look on...

As the title says.:) I have a double cream DiMarzio PAF, the old style one, which I don't really want to let go, but I'd like to get a Custom 5 to put in my Epi SG and don't have the cash to buy one (they cost a lot over here). I'm in the UK, good trades with lots of bros, including Hamerfan...

In the ongoing saga of my Jackson Kelly, I removed the neck pickup, so it just had the JB in the bridge (it only has a volume control and three way switch, no tone). I have black plastic covers on the pickups anyway, so the neck looked as if there was a pickup in it anyway. But I was bored...

Anyone ever tried it? I was thinking of selling the DMZ but I really like those pickups and I feel I'd regret it if I did sell it (it's double cream, would get a nickel cover fitted if I were to use it in this guitar). The only guitar I need a neck pickup in right now is the Epi SG G400 I got...

The faded SG I got last week looks great in certain lights, but it seems to show finger marks and stuff really, really badly and it's annoying me. I'd like to make the finish a bit more glossy. Do you think some red T-cut would work on this? Or is that a terrible idea? Any other simple way to...

I put a set in my Epi Les Paul. I have to say they're a step up from the stock Epiphone pickups. But they're not Duncans or DiMarzios. I'm gonna take them out again. I have a 59 and an APH-1n that can go in there. I gave them a chance, but I'm sorry, they just don't have the mojo. And I'm...

I fitted a cover to a 59b. I installed it in my Epi Les Paul and it was fine, no squeal at all, sounded fine. I took it out as it never fitted the guitar, tone wise, and I've just put it in my new Epi SG but there's bad squeal off it now unless I turn the gain down. I understand it's most...

OK the Epiphone SG I bought yesterday sounds good, but I noticed the tone controls are basically binary. Full on or full off (muffled to hell). In the past people have told me it's the pots at fault, others have said it's the caps. Well, I opened the electronics cavity up and was pleased to see...
