Hi all, it's been a while since I posted. Nice new look to the forum! I have a 2009 Gibson Les Paul Junior in the most, brightest, of bright white. It's brighter than the sun. I'm looking to go from this to the TV Yellow, 60s look. Something like this...

Just wondering if anyone had tried the new Ernie Ball Cobalt strings? I'm a strong believer in their gauge 10 regulars, i'd imagine these cobalts to be perhaps thicker, or more resistant when bending.

I have a JB in the bridge of a strat that is starting to get some noticeable rust. I'm just wondering if this will have any detrimental impact on the tone of the guitar? I'm hesitant to remove it because I don't want to tarnish the pole pieces in anyway .. and .. well .. it looks kinda...

Hi all, I'm looking for an electro acoustic. Something I can plug in, that's versatile but sounds nice ... Not really hard to play, or absolutely massive. Preferably with a half cut away neck exposing top frets. SOMETHING THAT STAYS IN TUNE! (I can NEVER buy a guitar that's setup right!) I have...

I walked into a small guitar shop in my local city, and found a blue fender mustang pawnshop special. It played AMAZINGLY and sounds really diverse. It was one of the moments you hear everyone talk about, when the guitar "melts" into your fingers and feels awesome. I thought i had found a...

Hello, I have a squire deluxe strat with a JBSH-4 in the bridge and i was wondering if i swap out the stock pots and wiring, would it improve the sound? Would it be noticeable or just very subtle? Kind Regards Frazer

Hey all ... Quick question for anyone who has ever done a paint job. In all honesty, how would I go about painting a 2009 Les Paul Junior (white) to maybe a TV Yellow kinda colour? (Im finding the bright white is too clean and the yellow is much more "vintage") Would it be difficult to do? ...

Yay or nay for a JB in the bridge of a hollowbody guitar? I was thinking it might be too bright, and have no depth. Could I get away with just 250k pots and the JB? If not what would you guys recommend? Kind regards Frazer

I've been hunting about the internet for the pickups Keith Richards uses in his tele- Micawber as he calls it. If anyone could tell me I would be very grateful, or of a seymour pickup which would be a close match to his tone. King regards Frazer

Is the ground wire really necessary? I have a JB in a strat, ground wire has come undone, wondering if its at all dangerous or gonna be downright terrible to play? I cant imagine there would be THAT much hum through distorted marshall.

If i set a budget for around £30-£40, what would be a good beginners ukulele to buy? :naughty:

The strangest thing has happened to my strat. It was working perfectly fine until my most recent string change. As soon as i had relatively tuned the fresh set, i proceeded to plug it into my tuner for fine touches, and i noticed the tuner picked nothing up. I immediately tried a different...

JB Junior in a telecaster ... good idea?

I was playing through a JCM800 and one of the tubes burnt out, or at least that's what i assume happened. Not smelling anything at first i stupidly put my hand around the back of the amp to check the connections without turning it off and got a heck of a nasty shock. Anyone else ever done this...

I'm thinking about swapping out the P90 in my LP Jr, and i want something thats hotter. I love that p90 tone but, just a tiny bit more hum bucker-like would be awesome. Anyways i was recommended the S+D SP90-3 Can anyone compare this pickup to something else, or at least give a good...
