Hey guys. I've bought a Jap made Ibanez 470 SV which is the S series but with a two point Strat like Trem and locking tuners.. Mahogany carved strat body and bigger strat style neck with skunk stripe.. It has HSH pickups, and the owner stuck a 59 wich DOESN'T split in the neck position because...

Can someone tell me the difference between the active single coils .. I mean the difference between Duncans Actives and EMG's actives.. I'm wanting something to stick into a Strat I already have.. 3 singles that is.. I want to be able to play everything from Lynard Skynard and total clean...

Hey Guys.. I have a Maple STrat neck, with Rosewood board. It has Original Jumbo Big Jackson like frets, but has been dressed, so they aren't quite as tall but plenty of life. Still bigger than say Gibson frets.. but not as tall as Jacksons.. Close though.. The neck is in excellent shape.. Has 6...

Hey guys.. They tell me that these are SD's in his Charvel? Anyone know what pups and what amp, etc? See this video.. He burns! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSR2c2R-X2M&mode=related&search= Thanks Tim

Hey guys.. I'm an 80's blues rocker.. I've had Kramers in the past and other guitars that had orginal floyd rose trems, but they were used so I'm not sure how a good new one works.. I mean that the older guitars that I had, which had a floyd on them, the arm would be wiggling when I'd use it to...

Hey Guys.. I've not got a picture of the pickup, but it's an all black Rio Grande Humbucker that I had in a strat that was bright sounding and it just rocked.. I hate to get rid of it, but I'm trying to dump the things I don't use, and I can't see myself using it soon.. as I'm going to go all...

Hey guys.. I've got the wife talked into some new GAS.. hehe.. She's going to let me get a guitar at 1k or below when we get our taxes.. So, I'm thinking of three guitars.. Two of them I've played and loved and the third I've not.. The first choice is the Musicans Friend, or an Ebay Gibson LP...

Hey Guys.. and gals.. What Duncan Humbuckers are lower in output than say the EMG's which are too high in output for what I want.. I love Actives for their many advantages including not getting shocked, going direct to the board, etc, etc.. and no noise, but EMG's were too high output for me...

Hey Guys.. I'm going to be buying a new guitar at tax time and I'm trying to figure out what Active pups to use.. I'm really wanting a guitar with active pups that doesn't have the output of the EMG's.. so I can use it for everything from Country to Metal so to speak, and I hear that the Duncans...

Hey guys.. I'm going to start a band and I currently have a Strat that I'm going to stick some active singles in.. Probably the live wires / classic in the guitar, and It will be a good guitar to play live, but I need one other.. and I want it to be a Gibson like guitar.. I'm thinking of either...

Hi Guys.. I'm wondering how the LIve Wire single coils sound in a Strat style guitar with maple neck and Alder body? Would they give me that SRV sound, clean Hendrix sound and yet brutal Zakk Distortion ? Are they capable of it? Where can one buy a set already installed in a pick guard? Thanks...

Hi Folks.. Lately I've had this terrible hankering to try to get the Brown sound after listening to Eruption. I realize that EVH used hot amps, with voltage boosters, and effects, etc.. But I'm wondering what amp one can get that will at least get me close. I think I have the licks per sey if I...

Hey guys.. I'm in the process of building a neck thru guitar.. Wish me luck.. It's my first.. Anyway, this guitar will be used for the Brown sound sorta.. Or at least I want to get close and I'll be playing it thru a Digital modeling amp probably going thru the PA.. I'll also be using the Phase...

I'm high bidder on a MuyGrande Humbucker for my Strat.. just wondering if anyone ever tried this pup? If so what did you thinK? Thanks Tim

Hey guys.. I'm wondering if anyone has a good dencently priced tube amp out that gets that killer Plexi sound? I'd thought about a modeling amp thru the PA but don't know which is the best, etc? I hate to have to buy a real plexi after looking at the prices on Ebay as I'm not even in a band, but...
