Top left of headstock under tuning peg. What do you all think?

Has anyone tried one of these? I'm running a rig that includes putting an ES335 through high gain - the feedback is controllable when using the amp's overdrive pedal but as soon as I stomp on a pedal for a gain boost I unleash screechy hell. I'm guessing that putting a noise pedal in the chain...

Hi guys, please can you help me out. I have a Gibson ES355 with an ebony board and the tone is a little too toppy and percussive, bright like a funk guitar. I'm looking for depth and woodiness and need to take the top off a little. Is this a pickup or a pot thing? Some people have...

Just put a new switch in my Dunlop Crybaby but got the wiring wrong. It works great turned on , but there's no sound of any description when it's switched off. The switch is one of these: http://www.hotroxuk.com/amp-switches-11229-0.html So, half the battle is going from the original Crybaby...

Folks, I'm trying to fit straplocks to my Les Paul but they're thinner than the original strap button to don't tighten up to the body properly. I've coated the screws in all-purpose strong adhesive and screwed them back in. I'm now waiting for it to set. Is this a good idea? Should I have...

Has anyone out there got one of these? I just bought one and can't use the Varitone without getting a significant reduction in volume. Has anyone encountered this and fixed it?

Hello, I'm thinking about buying one of these. Has anyone got one? What do you think? Cheers, Mike.

Does anyone know if there are any videos or books out there that analyse the guitar style The Reverend? Thanks.

Can anyone recommend fingerboard treatments with no petroleum distillates that they use? Thanks.

My board looks a iittle thirsty and I want to give it a light oiling and then change the strings tomorrow morning. Trouble is I'm all out of linseed oil and I don't have any commercial fingerboard oil either (not that I like fossil oil based lubricants on the board anyhow). So, all I have is...

Does anyone know if it's possible to accelerate the fading of the finish on your guitar's top? I've got a heritage cherry sunburst Les Paul that I'd really like to mellow the reds and yellows out on. How can this be achieved?

I'm looking to buy a delay pedal for the first time - I'm looking for something that will do Andy Summers kind of stuff but also more subtle tone thickening etc. Any suggestions?

(Linked to earlier thread on Crowther Hot Cake) I've now about to spend more money on a COT 50 because it's so good it gave me a tingle in my special place. I will now have three overdrive pedals and it feels excessive. Do I need help, or am I not alone here...?

Any one tried one of these? I'm looking for something to give a tight low-end growl to the overdrive, almost fuzzy. The reviews and yootoob clips sounded good but it would be great to get the forum opinions. I'm looking for an early Billy Gibbons kind of rumbling crunch. Easy!!

Apologies if this topic has been raised before, but I have the following simple questions regarding the Mesa Boogie Express 5:25, which I am on the verge of buying: 1. Is it loud enough for small club/pub gigs? 2. Does the extension cabinet allow more volume / clean headroom? 3. Is it loud...
