I bought a guitar that has a pickup labeled “SWD Custom Shop” and “Bridge”. It also has a hand written serial number. Is there any way to find out what model this is? It is a hot pickup. SN:321420

I recently bought a 90’s Charvel Fusion. It is in great shape. One issue, it had a Bill Lawrence L500XL and was way too powerful. I tried adjusting pickup height but could never get it to a usable output. I swapped it out for a Full Shred. Same deal. Like a singer with the mic up against...

I just bought a MIJ Charvel San Dimas with a JB in the bridge. Maybe I’ve become used to slightly lower output bridge humbuckers, but this thing is just too much.

Trying to trade my JP6 in Graphite Grey that is in new condition for a Peavey Wolfgang Standard or Music Man Axis of equal or greater value. The guitar is truly like new and comes with case and trem arm. I just want another Axis or Wolfgang. Will sell for $1100 shipped.
