    NAD: Traynor YCV40-WR

    Re: NAD: Traynor YCV40-WR Pics. The YCV40-WR and my 335. The crew, minus my Ibanez and pedal board that are in storage atm. My stage guitars with the amp. The Oxblood looks pretty good with the WR :) The back of the amp.

    NAD: Traynor YCV40-WR

    Actually I've now had this for a month or so, but thought I'd share now that I've actually played it in the band, at home and at an outdoor gig. I narrowed it down after trying out a few different amps that I thought I might like from online reviews: Vox AC15 H&K 18 Twelve Tubemeister Fender...

    To route or not to route - Hxx Strat to HxS or HSS

    Hey all, I'm looking for actual experience from anyone that has done this to a guitar. I want to know if there is a significant (or any) difference in tone after routing for a single coil neck pickup. The Instrument: I have an '85 MIJ Strat. It's alder with a medium scale (24-3/4")...

    Gibson-scale Strat neck - fits normal Strat body?

    I have a 1985 MIJ Squier Strat that is simply the best playing guitar I have. The neck fits into my hand like a glove and I can rip through my usual wanking cleanly. I didn't realize until I had the guitar for a few weeks that the scale is actually 24-3/4". When I got the guitar the first thing...

    P.A.F. ... wait, no DiMarzio PAF ... WTF?

    Wha?? http://www.ebay.com/itm/230851901249 Current bid is at $212.50. I don't get it. I mean, they're really nice pickups. I had an older one from the 80's that was nice, reading in the normal range of 7.8K. I have another that's 8.3K from the 70's, just a tad hotter. It's got the square...

    Babicz FCH TOM Bridge and ES-335

    Hi guys, I acquired a FCH TOM bridge and tailpiece (used for $60, yay!). I'll be installing it on my ES-335 Studio but have a concern. I recently had the guitar setup (fret level, etc.). The action is good, although the strings do seem to hit the frets near the neck pickup a little more...

    Seth Lover?

    Can anyone confirm this as a real Seth Lover?: http://www.ebay.com/itm/261031785242 I've never seen a sticker like it, and I've never seen one with an actual signature - as opposed to the two stamped signatures on the production versions I've seen. I have an older set (pre-2002), but they look...

    Nitro and squeaky necks

    So, last week I got my 91 ES 335 and really liked playing it. Then I decided to clean it with some cleaner/polish. I did the body, then the neck. Felt fast and smooth. Then I heard it - the dreaded squeak! I never owned a nitro guitar before so never experienced this. I thought "oh crap! I...

    Truss rod stuck on my ES 335

    I got my 91 es 335 last week and it sounds awesome. It plays well, except the action is a little high. On Thursday I decided to make some adjustments. I took the pickguard off to see what it would look like. Apparently it had never been taken off before, because the metal piece that sits on the...

    NTMGD - ES 335 Content

    New (To Me) Guitar Day!! I had been looking for a guitar and asked you guys about a couple of Les Pauls (Platinum vs Swamp Ash). Turns out I don't like Swamp Ash guitars (sound-wise - it played very well). I saw a guitar on ebay and couldn't resist bidding. 1991 Gibson ES 335 Studio in...

    Swamp Ash or Platinum?

    Ok, I realize there's already a thread going where someone's asking for opinions about a choice of LPs, but I've also got a choice and am looking for some advice. I've got a line on 2 LPs: 2004 Gibson Les Paul Studio Platinum and a 2003 Gibson Les Paul Studio Swamp Ash. Both have ebony...

    WTB/WTT my MIJ GE-7 for your Pickup Booster

    Hey, I'm looking for a Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster. I'm tired of trying to explain to guitar shop employees what this is and most people that have one on ebay won't ship to Canada. I'd be willing to buy one, or I can trade my MIJ Boss GE-7 for one. The GE-7 is in used but good condition. It...
