Re: best pedal for heavy metal / pedal Okay.

Serious question. Going straight into my computer, I can adjust the noisegate threshold down lower on the passive pickups than the active ones. One of the reasons I was switching to actives was the noise floor. Picked up a Dean V (that had an Invader installed) to flip. Tried it out just to...

Re: FS/FT YUGE (with a Y!) pile of humbuckers. (Calig, GFS, Duncan, Dimarzio, Entwist Sure, here you go:

Re: Gloss Paint + Matte Finish + Freezing temperatures = This... The gold paint I used here either was old or had a defective nozzle. So I decided to go with a satin black over it. I believe that the gold was a lacquer, the black was an enamel. I think this was one of the very first...

Most people know my answer to that one. :D Over the years I've noticed threads where people ask for advice on what guitar to buy, and then others will chime in with their favorite brand, and sometimes completely miss what the original poster was asking for. The thing is, you can put together...

Switching back to actives, so I have a bin full of passive humbuckers. I'd use any of these if I was using passives, so in the future I'll probably buy them again. :D I do have pics if you need to see them, but it'd be a *really* long thread with all the pics, so if you need to, PM me and I'll...

First, an update on a previous post - From what I've read online, the RedActive EQ versions aren't a boost, they're more of a cut. With the switch on, it's normal output. With it off, it cuts 10-12 db. That works fine for me in the neck position, I'm using them there with the bass cut. Plenty of...

Shipping can get quite expensive the more East and North that you are, so if you're more than 3 states away from Arizona, you probably won't want them. I'll try to get some pics up soon but you can PM me with dimensions that you need and I can see if I've got something that will fit and get a...

wtCA8j0rJMk Before: After: and now.... Rl8lD5vTj10 Removed the green paint with lacquer thinner, then sanded off the tinted brown. Left the original seal coat on as I didn't really want to break out the Tru Oil and spend a few more days on it. Sanded through in a few...

Had an eBay listing pulled where I was selling some used Squier necks with the logos sanded off. For those who've been here for a while, you've seen a number of Squier Strats that I refinished and I removed the logos from the necks to make them look cleaner. (I *never* added a Fender logo to...

32oz bottles are currently $12.50 on Amazon. Just saying.

Or... VvCyPCyEFbY Soon.

NQQdsKH3Qt8 Tried something a little different this time around. Drilled out the bridge posts slightly so I could sit the bridge flat on the body, worked out pretty well, with a lot less work beforehand. (Still have to chisel the neck pocket down to remove material to...

Update: Pics farther down. :firedevil Got some sanding and some Tru Oil-ing done today.

YRj9_3LaaeM ..... Because it needed to be done. 59 in the neck is too boomy, JB in the bridge has that weird mid spike. These pickups with that classic font.. make it work. (Inlays are labels, and yes, I fixed the high E string after seeing the picture. :D ) Schecter...
