This thing is seriously over the top cool. Dyed green flame by yours truly, nitro finish over Honduras mahogany, bound body, figured mahogany neck... Anyway, debating pickups for this thing. Standard H H layout for an LP. Possibly using a grapthech ghost and acoustaphonic for the bridge. (I...

Would a PATB-2 wound on a PATB neck Bobbin be a floor shop custom or a full custom shop pickup? I'm just curious.

I have googled and come up blank. I know I could just square out the routes, but I have always sucked at making pickguards look pro.

I haven't put it through its paces entirely. I put it in my single pickup Alder hardtail Strat. I have never tried a Thorn humbucker before. It seems from the first run through to be very clear and good under gain. I am going to have to play with it a bit more, but it is definitely not a pickup...

Re: The Slug Yes, I have one of those. You do have to specify with the custom shop. Mine was $130. This is what the guitar with both slugs in it looks.

I just acquired a p-13. I know there recently has been talk of degausing being slow, but the information I have says this is a 1959. As the magnetic fields oppose on a p-13 like a p90, I believe, it seems that over the last 50+ years there might be significant enough degaussing to warrant a...

I bought the Jazz Hot Stack Neck to go into my Carvin bass, unaware that the Carvin bass routing uses Bridge spacing on neck Jazz bass positions. Hence, it doesn't fit. If so, how?

Which is hotter? The Alnico or ceramic pickup. I am just curious. One has the alnico polepieces, and the ceramic has the giant under humbucker magnets...

What did you think? I got a steal of a deal on a carvin neckthrough husk that had a musicman route in the bridge. For personal reasons I avoid active electronics. They tend to die at the most awkward moments in my experience. I was thinking that in the bridge and a Wilde Jazz bass pickup in the...

I currently have an l500r in the neck slot. It is higher-fi and I don't like the match. I have had an l90 in there before, and it was not nice in this guitar. I would prefer rails for aesthetics, but it is a preference. I also debated a screaming demon in there, and not because of the name...

I have never gotten along with them. I have had batteries drain way too fast and go out in a gig. (New batteries installed that day) In fact, I have issues with batteries pretty much across the board in my life. Its a bit of a thorn in my side. I have debated using a 9v power supply connected by...

I recently purchased a used bg1400. First thing I noticed was that the leads were extended into two leads, one of them being red and white together. Black, bare, and green were soldered together, though bare was cut from the baseplate. Would that setup be a perma-split or not sound at all? I...

I have a basswood RG that I bought as my first guitar. Since I actually learned to play and have some appreciation that a digitech death metal into a crate amp is not the epitome of good tone, I have been dissatisfied with how it sounds. I'll give pickups I have tried. JB - Okay, but nothing...

I am looking at doing a 4 position rotary switch instead of triple shots. Why not triple shots? Because these will go on a set of slugs, and there is no way a triple shot will fit them. Looking around, I found this...

Re: Who's working on a build right now? Let's see your stuff! This is not really a build persay, just a customized warmoth. I did the woodburning on this one and it is getting a set of Slugs for neck and bridge. Hardware is going to be black. Neck is a warmoth birdseye maple with abalone...
