Hey, I'm planning on installing a Schaller Megaswitch M in my HH guitar. 1 of the positions will be a parallel HB. Which is typically the better / sweeter sound for clean tones , a neck HB in parallel or Bridge HB in parallel ?? (IF YOU HAD TO CHOOSE 1)

I recently had a DMZ Liquifire installed in the neck position of my HSH guitar. Initially when I received the guitar back from my tech, the neck pickup was almost completely dead (Not completely silent but extremely weak output) However the split coil position (pos. 4) was working fine. Only...

I'm interested in trying to figure out how some Dimarzios are approximately wound. In particular the Tone Zone... ​​​​​​If we consider that the pickup is wound with their dual resonance trademark mismatched wire gauge method, and the total DCR is approx 17.2k, i must assume they have wound 1...

Was wondering if using a 250k volume pot has the same loading / tonal effect on the pickups as using a 500k volume + 500k tone?? I have a couple of Humbucker equipped guitars which have no tone pots which sound a bit too harsh / icepicky on the neck pickup... Would a 250k volume mimic the...

My strat is currently in 10-48 with the nut slots cut specifically for that gauge. I'm considering dropping down to 9.5 - 46 but not sure if I'll need a new nut... Theoretically, if going down from 10-48 (10 13 17 28 38 48) to 9.5-46 (9.5 12 16 26 36 46) should I be able to keep the same nut...

Wondering what you guys generally prefer?? (people who've tried both preferably) I'm used to slightly lower action but hearing Yngwie using 8s for the plain strings with higher action has got me curious because even with low action, those high E string Bends are still a bit of an effort with...

I'm thinking of swapping out my Mark 4 output transformer for a different transformer that also has a 16 Ohm speaker out tap. I hate using impedance mismatches as the amp gets duller and muddy so I'm not interested in using the 8Ohm out with my 16 ohm 4x12 . I'm not bothered about resale value...

I ordered a set of 6x 5-40 UNC hex pole screws for my brand new APH1-n A2 pro but they were way too loose & rattle within the bobbin threads...... Any idea what size screws I need?? I honestly thought 5-40 UNC was the correct size.... I'm confused.

Brand new, unused Seymour Duncan Alnico 2 Pro neck humbucker, in Black . These are £75 - 80 new online / in shops . Anyone interested, let me know & you'll save £15 - 20 . Will post (with its original packaging) anywhere in the UK for £62

Building a warmoth custom with a reverse angled Bridge HB route . The Bridge is going to be a Schaller Hannes (54mm spacing E-e) . I realise that some guitars were built with angled bridge buckers to try and line up the poles on a standard spaced humbucker better with the strings, BUT I have...

I had a replacement neck (with stainless steel Jumbo frets) made for my Ibanez RG & I had a issues with notes choking out & fret buzz so l took it to my Luthier to have all the frets completely Re-Crowned, Levelled and Polished as the original fretwork by the builder was rushed/poor. The frets...

Re: Any tips on making neck play faster / more comfortable I'm not sure the exact finish of the neck but it could definitely be softer/smoother ! I also think the fret crowning isnt great upon closer inspection .. What do you think ?

I have a Petrucci JPM Ibanez parts-o-caster Replica that I assembled from scratch ala Warmoth /EVH . The neck is a JEM prestige style profile with Jumbo 6100 Gold EVO frets, mildly scalloped frets, lacquered maple neck + maple fretboard and the guitar has a Lo Pro edge trem with 2 springs. The...

I'm having a but of trouble with my SSS Strat.... I can't seem to raise the Bridge pickup any higher past mid-way... Its definitely not high enough. I'm turning the screw but it seems to keep dropping back down / won't go any higher... I noticed under the pickguard that I have those little...

I have a Steves Special in the bridge of my JPM 100 petrucci axe but to be honest, I find it quite loose / boomy and not very expressive . I love the 3D super defined dirty chords (thanks to the hybrid coils) and it works really well with my Mesa Petrucci Graphic EQ preamps but it just seems to...
