Repost of Carol of the Bells from Christmas. I'm lucky that I get to play with such talented musicians. We played this song in rehearsal literally 2 times a few days before this performance and then twice the morning of the show...then it was showtime...

So I just decided to rewire my LP with some CTS 525K pots, hoping for more clarity. The installation went easily enough but why do my volume knobs only seem to work from 8-10? Anything below 8 has a sharp drop in volume to where it is essentially unusable... I used .22 caps wired 50's style

A couple of years ago I had a beautiful MIM Tele that I just never jived with. I really wanted to love it but I just plain didn’t. So I sold it. I think the biggest reason I didn’t love it was the narrow nut width of 1 5/8. I prefer 1 11/16. Now, I know I can buy replacement necks with the...

I’m sure you have all noticed the used market nowadays. Look at these. Friggin ridiculous. https://reverb.com/item/6407995-bc-rich-usa-bich-rare-factory-floyd-neckthru-ebony-cloud-inlays-83-84-red?utm_source=rev-ios-app&utm_medium=ios-share&utm_campaign=listing&utm_content=6407995...

Lately I’ve been tone chasing the neck pickup in my LP Std. I started with a Bluesbucker and I liked it, but didn’t love it. Next was a DiMarzio Virtual PAF or something like that. Way to dark and way too much low end. I didn’t like it at all. Moved to a PAF Joe. I liked it better and it has...

Looking for recommendations for a neck pickup in my LP. Bridge pickup is a Custom Custom. Im looking for it to cover classic through modern rock/hard rock. Im not necessarily looking for a “metal” pickup. It’s not really my thing. I’d like something that has a round, tubular tone under gain...

I have an EVH Wolfgang that has been modified to have just a single volume, 3-way toggle, and a push-button kill switch. All works fine except that the circuit isn't grounded! There is a grounding eyelet and wire screwed into the guitar through the shielding and is soldered to the volume...

This is a simple (?) channel switcher circuit that I have apparently wired incorrectly. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong here?

I just swapped the hot rails neck with a YJM neck. For some strange reason the bridge pickup is audible no matter which position the switch is in. It’s a 3 way blade switch. I don’t think it was doing this before the swap, but who knows...maybe it was and I didn’t notice it. Any ideas what...

I recently bought my first modeler and although I was skeptical at first I have come to understand why they are so popular. I have always been a tube amp snob and only bought my AA12 out of necessity. I used it at band practice the other night and was pretty amazed at just how good it sounded...

I have 3 pickups that I’m not sure what they are. I’m turning to you gurus here for any info you have. This is a Dimarzio that measures out at 13.56. The guy I got it from said it’s a Super Distortion. It’s only a 2 conductor setup. White/black and bare. No sticker. The Dimarzio site only...

As the title implies, I’m looking for something that doesn’t necessarily require an amp. I was think a fly rig and an onstage monitor just for myself. I don’t know much about the fly rig so any educational info is appreciated....pros/cons which version is best and why? Ideally I’d like...

Ground issue?? What’s going on? I noticed that when I press a string down and it touches a pole piece or screw on the pickup, the sound cuts out? Any ideas what’s going on? This is in my LP. I recently mag swapped the bridge pickup (Custom Custom) and rewired it just like it was before I...

A buddy of mine has a guitar that well, needs a ton of work. The biggest issue I have is that he has a trem post height adjustment screw missing form his no-name import trem. I’m wondering if anybody knows anything about these trems and where I can get a replacement post. The guitar still has...

I recently put a Custom 8 bridge and a Bluesbucker neck set into my Les Paul. I have the BB wired to coil split. I seldom use the middle position but last night while playing I noticed it was OOP. It is especially noticeable on the clean channel. So today, I flipped the hot and ground of the...
