Hey all, I recently relocated my practice/jamming area, and now my Jackson is even noisier than it was before. It hisses and hums like mad, but the hissing pretty much stops when you touch any of the metal parts on the guitar except for the strings. However, it still hums like a stereo or amp...

Recently I've started tuning my guitar down a half step to Eb, and since then it absolutely will not stay in tune, and even when it is perfectly in tune, chords sound awful because the intonation is way off, even though I've adjusted it several times. What's the deal? My guitar has a crappy trem...

I've got an old Telestar from the late 60's that I'm about to refinish, and I've had a bit of an incomplete idea. The guitar has seperate on/off toggles for each of the two pickups, but then also has a three-way toggle switch that does absolutely nothing. I'd like to make this switch into...

I'm assembling a guitar mostly from Warmoth parts, and it's essentially an LP double-cutaway copy. I've got a mahogany body/neck, Gibson scale length, two pickups. Here's where the issue comes in: I had originally anticipated dropping in a pair of humbuckers, so that's what the body is routed...

This may seem like a stupid question, but I'm about to start building a guitar from Warmoth parts, and I was wondering if anyone had any tips on painting the headstock. I want to go basic black, but I'm afraid of screwing something up...any suggestions? I've assembled guitars before, but never...

I recently had a TB-5 Custom Trembucker installed in my Jackson JS20 and it sounds fantastic. However, when I set the 5-way pickup selector to the bridge/middle setting, the guitar sounds really weird. The only way I can think of describing the sound is that it sounds like it's being played...

I want to swap the humbucker in my lowly Jackson JS20. I've narrowed it down to either an SH-4 JB or an SH-5 Custom. I've got a 15-watt amp, and I want something quite versatile, as in good for classic rock, punk, ska and metal, and with a nice, not-too-bright (or twangy) sounding clean. Any...

Hey all, I have this base-level Jackson (SSH, 5-way selector, trem) that I wan to modify a little, instead of going out and buying a whole other guitar. The first thing I'd like to do is to swap out the stock humbucker. I kinda like the sound of the stock 'bucker distorted, although it is...
