I've got a wolfie standard that I'm putting some replacement pickups in (didn't have the originals available). I put some Dimarzio DP100's in there just to have something in there for the time being, but the neck pickup came out much higher than the bridge pickup. The wires aren't pushing them...

That George Lynch pickup seems tempting. I'm looking for a new setup to put into my Les Paul Standard (double-cut by the way). It has the stock A2 equipped pickups that just sound too muddy for me. I like the idea of the '59 set, but may want just a tad more output, and maybe a little more...

I've seen Clapton play it on a couple of DVD's now, and it's sounded and looked awesome every time, I just have no idea exactly which guitar this actually is. It's the orange Hollow-body that he plays on 'Hot Tamales' on the DVD 'Me and Mr. Johnson.' He also plays it on the 'one more car, one...

I need to find a good versatile tube amp, to be my new main rig. I currently have a Gibson 15 watt tube combo, does clean really well, but I need a little more grit and distortion. I also have a rectoverb that's amazing, and may end up putting EL34's in it. Only problem is, it's in purple...

Any recomendations or preferences on what would be a good tube replacement for the tremelo in specific on a Gibson GA-20RVT? Just got it the other day, 2 channels, Reverb & Tremelo footswitchable on one of 'em, but when the trem kicks in, the volume dips down a bit, and the trem effect itself...

I think I've decided that a nice Fender Twin will be versatile enough to handle all that I'm looking to do. Now to find it. I'd like to keep my price under $700, and from the looks of the completed sales on ebay, there should be a ton to be had at that price. I think I'm most interested in...

I just sold a guitar on ebay, and it needs to be shipped to the UK from Maryland (US). It's a Peavey Wolfgang, in the hardshell case. With the typical guitar sized box dimensions of about 24"x10"x45", it costs approx. $450 via Fedex (economy), $400 UPS, and $350 USPS. I ballparked the weight...

I just installed my first set of Duncan Antiquities, and they are awesome. I put them into my American Deluxe Strat, and I don't miss the SCN at all. They weren't horrible to my ears, just not as lively as these. Now that I got the guitar back up and running with its' new guts, I noticed what...

Finally went with a new set of pickups for the strat. I have an HSS American deluxe, and I just never liked the pickup; too boring. I put a set of EMG Gilmour's in it, and while 90% of it was awesome, there were a couple positions that I wasn't comfortable with when using the SPC control. I...

I am putting my Peavey 5150 212 Combo & my Laney VC30 210 Combo's up for sale. I tried attaching the pictures, but they're pretty large and too high a resolution for here, so if anybody is interested and wants pictures, just let me know where to email 'em and I'll get 'em to you. Both are in...

I've been selling off parts and gear for a little while now, breaking even for the most part from what I'd invested in it, in hopes of getting an ES335. I figure, it'll take the better part of $2000-2500 to get one new, and that's stock. I just got the new carvin catalog, and I was checking...

I'm wiring up an Ibanez RG with a '59 trem and pearly gates neck, removing the single coil in the middle altogether (at least for the time being). I'm having trouble with the switch diagram, if anybody can help with this. I have a 5-way switch that has all the poles lined up on one side, which...

Hey all, been a while since I've posted anything, but tonight I just put a Gibson Angus Young pickup in the bridge of my Gibson SG, and kept the 490 in the neck position. The SG is a new guitar for me, and it's set up fine, but the 490R seems a good deal more powerful than the Angus. More meat...

I'm putting a couple pickups in an explorer, and this thing is giving me some trouble. I've wired it up as the diagrams show, but I can't see why the volume knobs don't turn the volume all the way down without rewiring the whole thing. Setup is Duncan distortion (neck) & JB (bridge), 3-way...

I just finished hot-rodding a 3-pickup flying-v for my brother-in-law, and he mentioned to me tonight that he would like me to take a look at his explorer (epiphone, korina, 2xcovered stock pickups). He said the neck pickup is crapping out on him, but he doesn't necessarily play it all that...
