My apologies if this has been asked a million times before. I tried to find the answer via a search but gave up. I have installed a Phat Cat neck and a Custom Custom bridge in a 335 copy. The middle position (bith pickups selected) the volume is very weak and nasal sounding....so I suspect...

I'm looking for a (one) Weber 12A150 AlNiCo speaker, 4 ohms with a power rating of 50 watts. These seem to be hard to find. Anybody have one? Thanks Dave

I read some old threads (in this forum) about the EPI LES PAUL ULTRA and most of the comments were positive. However, that was at the time it new and was just being introduced. What are your comments on it now? Please don't tell me to save up for a "real" Gibby LP. This axe is at a...

I have the chance to buy some used Schaller locking machine heads for my MIM standard series Fender Strat. The only reason I'm considering getting them is because the stock machine heads don't seem very impressive at all. The guitar holds it tune, but the tuning action oftenn "slips" or feels...

I have emailed SD twice asking to buy about 6 of the plastic boxes that they sell/ship their pickups in (specifically humbuckers...I'm not sure if the single coil boxes are the same size as I have never bought single coils). No response...rather disappointing. Maybe they consider my request a...

Garrison Guitars has been sold to the Gibson Guitar company — and the deal means the Mount Pearl-based manufacturer will produce more guitars in the future. Nashville-based Gibson plans to make a new line of mid-priced acoustic guitars starting at US$750 in the Newfoundland plant. The goal...

Just a couple of questions. What book(s) do you recommend for learning to building pedals? There seem to be a lot out there and I'd like to get the one that the most recommended. If you have a schematic only (for anything, but think pedals for now) how do you convert that to a layout? Always...

Any amp builders, pedal builders, pickup winders and/or electronics hobbyists that would consider showing pics of their benches/workshops? It would be great to see where all this gear starts out as just a pile of components, enclosures, wire, etc. and ends up as the finished product. and/or...

Link to old thread: (also a link to some great pics of PTP/ turret wiring inside a chassis...worth looking at for the pics alone) https://forum.seymourduncan.com/showthread.php?t=99013&highlight=verbzilla Stratdeluxer97 (or anybody else)...are you happy with the Verbzilla? Any other...

Stratman posted a pic of his Bassman head with the channels jumped in this thread: https://forum.seymourduncan.com/showthread.php?t=107980 Can the channels be safely jumped on a '65 BandMaster head? Are there any precautions when doing/using this concept? What is the advantage of jumping the...

I have chance to get one of these for a very fair price. (about $200.00 US with generic HS case) Any general comments on this model of guitar? Maple neck, basswood body, 1 tone, 1 volume, and 3-way switch. It has 2 hums. (stock "Super '70s ) and a Powerocker trem bridge. Thanks Dave

I've read several posts where guitarists believe that removing the trem cover on a Strat improves the tone. How many of you folks have done this and found that the tone improved/changed? Just curious Thanks Dave

A freind of mine just bought a bass guitar and is saving for an amp. He has been told that it is OK to play the bass through a regular guitar amp (old 40 watt Farfisa amp with 2 x 12"). He is concerned that he might blow the speakers, or damage the amp. somehow. Should he be concerned?

I just bought a '65 BandMaster head from a forumbro. Everything seems fine, but there isn't all that much volume until the knob gets to about 6 or so, and then it really takes off. I haven't pushed it too much as I just got it today and I'm not sure of the power rating of the speaker I'm...

I have seen many posts in the forum from you, and I've responded to some. All this time, I've been wondering what guitars and amplifiers, pedals etc. do you have. I don't think you have ever mentioned anything specific about your gear. Just so that we can compare, I have a white Fender...
