    Dreams Necessitate Money

    But, oh boy, if I had some, I know what I would be doing with it... Thinline Stealth-Esquire. TV Jones TV-HT pickup in the bridge, and a Seymour Duncan P-Rails in the neck. The extra knob is a rotary 3-way, to switch between the P90/Single/Humbucker sounds of the P-Rails. Reversed control...

    My new Crafter D8L/N (pic heavy)

    Finally found some cash, and went and got myself a new acoustic. Sounds fantastic! Looks great! I'm quite clearly honey-mooning, but I think it really is awesome. :) Solid Engelmann Spruce top; Mahogany sides, back and neck; Indian Rosewood bridge and fretboard.

    Opinions on Norman guitars?

    I might be getting one - I've played the B18 in store, and it sounds magnificent! Definitely an improvement over what I have now, but also up to par (I think, at least) with my friend's Taylor. May buy it (it's a total steal, too!), but I may also order in a B20cw model with electronics (fishman...

    My MIM Telecaster (Zhangliqun pickups on the way)

    So, finally, some pictures of my MIM Telecaster. She's pretty, but not a looker. She's a real girl next door: pretty, confident, and sweet. I've been PMing with Zhangliqun (Dave) for the last few days, and we've decided on which of his pickups to use for the upgrade, and settled on a Paul...

    I need to settle on something... (tele pickup quandary, again)

    At some point I should actually go ahead and buy something, for crying out loud... I've lifted the 'guard, and found out the body is routed for various options: Humbucker, mini-bucker, single, strat-size single, or a soapbar (it's as wide as a soapbar from left to right, and wide enough for a...

    Bright-twangy (Tele) sound in a Les Paul: Pickup suggestions?

    Hi there everyone! Haven't been around in a very long time, but I knew that this is where I'd need to go with my question. I love the clear, twangy, bright tones of Telecaster guitars (non-distorted, naturally), but I have a Les Paul. I'm looking at upgrading my setup, and this includes a pair...

    Help with Tele pickups

    Hello there! (first post) I'm looking at getting a Telecaster to replace my Epi Les Paul Custom. I love my LP, don't get me wrong, but it is VERY heavy. Now, I'd love to switch to a Tele, but I know that the stock pickups aren't for me. I like the twang, but there's just not enough power for my...
