Hi All, I have a heavily used Gibson SG Supreme. The bridge is a bit of a mess so I want to replace the saddles. The problem is I don't know whether I have a pre or post 2000 nashville bridge. The guitar serial number dates it as being made in the year 2000 itself so the pre and post names...

Hi All, It's been a while since I've been on the forum, but is good to be back! I have a Marshall JVM 410H and its been a great amp. However, my band has now stopped and I am about to move into a much smaller room, so wanted to trade in for a smaller amp. I previously owned a VOX AC15C1 which...

... I bought a second hand Gibson SG supreme! I got it for a steal I bid £750 pounds and it sold for £666.66 (not sure how that happened), which is about 1050USD. Not sure why but the used the custom headstock (not that I am complaining!) PRS's have always been the best made guitars I have...

Hi, Dno if any of you have been following my issues with my guitars tone but to sum up, I was using a C5 and I was getting way too much and too piercing highs, basically no mids especially low-mids. The bass was really quiet too. I tried a variety of extra magnets without luck. My guitar is a...

Hi I've been having some issues with my tone, which I am fairly certain is to do with the pots. The guitar sounds too shrill and I've got 500K vol and tone, I wanted to order a 300 or 330 to try out but could only get a 250. Was going to try it for the volume. Just wanted to hear other peoples...

Hi guys, My guitar has 500K tone and volume pots, I am going to change one of them to a 250K. Could someone tell me if it would make a difference which one I change? (that would be based on both vol and tone being on full) I heard les pauls use 250K vol and 500K tone, and previously I had...

Hi got sound issues with my guitar. I have got a solid mahogany bodied PRS with a maple bolton neck (CE24). In band practice and sound checks my guitar cuts through great, but when we actually play to an audience, my sound is lost whereas the other guitarist still sounds strong. My sound is...

I have only ever had an electric, and a mate of mine has leant me an acoustic indefinitely and it's missing the high e. So I need a new set of acoustics strings but have no idea where to start. I use gauge 9's on my electrics. The kind of sound I'd like is something maybe like led zeppelin over...

I have got a 2 humbucker guitar with 1vol 1tone and a threeway pickup selector and I was wondering what I could do with the push pulls. This is my metal guitar so the functions will probably only be used for home use as in the band its everything on 10 all the time. I've got the coil split for...

Hi, The series split paralllel wiring diagrams on the main site only have series/parallel when you open the file. http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=2h_2v_3w_ssp My guitar has 1 vol and 1 tone pot, and I would like it to have coil split (for both...

I am looking to get some alpha push pulls. I've tried CTS but I prefer them to be quicker and easier to turn. Thanks

Hi guys, I am having trouble making a decision and was wondering if you could help me. I have pretty much decided on getting a JVM410H as it sounds amazing to my ears. I am in England so Marshall's are much cheaper than mesa's and such. If I were to buy the amp new it would cost £950 and would...

Hi, I tried using my ht-5 with the speakers from my old marshall avt275 and the distortion reduced by quite a lot. I was wondering why this is. The old marshall had a ridiculously high wattage like 150-ish. Do you think the drop is cos the speakers power rating is too high, cos the speakers...

Both my volume and tone pots were acting like linear pots since I changed them... turns out they are log pots (checked them with a multimeter). (By acting like linear I mean from 0-3 they go from full off to pretty much full on) Anyone know whats happening. I checked the wiring and its all the...

Hi Guys, I got a set of blackouts with a used guitar I got and put it passives. I later tried to wire them up in a different guitar and whether or not the battery was connected the pickup had the same poor level of output(I tried several batteries). I kind of assumed the preamps had blown while...
