Putting SSL-6 in bridge with Texas Hot neck and (rwrp) middle. Any special wiring, or white to switch blck to ground?

I have Antiquity Texas hots in the neck and middle of my strat. RWRP in the middle. I want to try an SSL-6 in the bridge. Do I wire it the same way as the TH's? White to switch, black to pot? Or because they're antiquities, is something different?

Those of you with true strat single coils, what's the best way to get that fat singing sustain? Fuzzface, Big Muff?

I have a new sealed maple neck that has that brand-new, pale, maple look. I hate that 'just-cut' look. Is there anyway to help it get that golden, aged, patina. How about rubbing with linseed, or other oils? Will they penetrate due to the sealer? Brown shoe polish, maybe? I don't want to...

Anyone compared these two. I have a PG and love it, but wonder if the Custom is brighter.

The resonant peak on the AII Pro is higher, do you guys think it's brighter than a 59? I use the AII bridge, but wondered if the '59 was brighter.

Is it worth the extra money for the A/AB option? Does anyone use the Class A option? I know it'd be nice to have, but would I ever use it, or should I save the $250 extra. I have a choice of both, and they're both pricey?

What is your 12th fret string height on your strats? Fender recommends 2 mm on strings 1-4 and 2.4 mm on strings 5-6 measured at the 17th fret. On my other guitars, my action is pretty much 1/16th straight across at the 12th fret. But I'm finding that I'm running my strat at 3/32 on the low...

Hey guys, just bought a JV strat. I want to keep it all classic strat with singles. Considering the Antiquity set. Question is, my Diezel and Mesa are pretty high gain. Do single coils need to be wax potted to prevent squeel? I've never seen reference to any singles being potted. Are any...

Why is there such a volume drop when combining the neck and middle singles on a strat? The volume is nice, clear, and powerful in the bridge alone, bridge/middle, middle alone, and neck alone positions. In the neck/middle position, it's clear, but substantially lower in volume. The pickups...

Hey guys, I bought a used Mex strat for my son. Came with a mini Duncan humbucker in the bridge. Claimed to be a lil '59. The sticker on the pickup reads 1BC. Has 2 rows of poles, no rails. I think it might be a JB Jr. It's wired up, so I can't take an ohm reading. I've tried clicking on...

My 6 Y/O son would like a guitar for Christmas. He's been really into it for a while now. Unfortunately for me, he's left handed and can't play any of mine. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good reasonably priced left handed guitar? Around $250 range. Don't want to buy a total...

I'd like to lighten my cream LP pickguard to a whiter cream, like the historics. I'd buy a historic pickguard, but have been told they won't fit regular LP's. Is this true? I was thinking of soaking mine in a tray of bleach for a week or two. Maybe coat it with some of that teeth whitening...

Why is it that no situation on the the tone wizard shows up a Pearly Gates set or Alnico II Pro set for a Les Paul Standard? I would think that because they are so close to early Gibson PAF's, they would be suggested. The '59 is suggested, which I understand, but no low output alnico II magnet...
