    Metallica Unforgiven, clean solo tone.

    Just wondering if the clean solo just before the lead takes off was played on active pickups as James and Kirk do use EMG's and Kirk has an HSS emg set. I really really love that clean tone. Thanks

    Reverse coils when tapped.

    I have a Jazz neck and Distortion bridge on a Parker Nitefly M. When coil tapped, the inner coil on pickups are active. I could be wrong about the bridge pup but definitely the inner coil on the Jazz neck. Would it be possible to have the outer coil (closest to neck) play when coil tapped ...

    Alnico pro 2 vs Pearly Gates for neck

    I am not completely happy with my Jazz neck in my Parker Nitefly M. Its too bright and not the greatest for hi gain solo's. Have narrowed it down to the APH and the PG. Also need nice cleans out of the neck pick up. The bridge is a Duncan Distortion so something that balances well. Which do...

    H/S/S to replace S/S/S in fender strat, possible ?

    Hello, i am about to buy my first strat. All my experience with guitars has been with rear routed pickups, never a pickguard. I am interested in the USA Deluxe Ash strat but it only comes in S/S/S config. Would it be possible to drop a H/S/S pickguard and configuration into this guitar ? I am...
