All else being equal, what difference would I hear changing from a standard ceramic magnet to a double thick ceramic? And how would each compare to an A8?

Re: Artie's De-Mud mod Artie suggested using 500k resistor and .01uf cap for a pup like a 59. What effect would it have to change the values. Specifically, for a dark sounding 9-10k pup with only two wires (the mod is in series with the hot wire), would I increase or decrease the value of the...

For those of you who like SGs, heres a gorgeous one at a great price...$299, Stupid Deal of the Day, today only. This dark "Cobalt Fade" blue is rather striking. If I didn't already have 4 SGs and 2 Wilshires, I'd be very tempted...

So, there was a recent thread about having seller's remorse and it got me thinking...do you ever have remorse from NOT selling a guitar? My Custom guitars usually have a price tag of $3000-7000. Recently a guy was over at my place auditioning for a band I was with. I have several dozen guitars...

zz0.4uso5blledbzz Here's how you'd do it with a freeway. Assume that the red and black wires are the wires coming from each Triple Shot.

A little hard to read:

Just received a set of Silencers. I have a question about the pole spacing which is 48mm for both. Is this the way they are supposed to be? I assumed that they would be different spacing for neck and bridge, like 49mm and 52mm. Even that they would be 50mm each. I would prefer 49mm for the neck...

As you may know, I'm a P-90 fan, but I've been thinking about trying a mini. Which SD mini sounds most like a P-90?

Top L recently did a survey about leveling your own frets. Not many responded, but 75% of those who did said they do their own levelling. That's way more than I expected. Great work guys! I'm impressed at how many people (at least on this forum) who do so much of their own guitar work...fret...

Just finished this. Maple top, maple back, maple neck with ebony stripes, Tele type bridge plate, C5 bridge pup, Jazz neck pup, Dave's "do-it-all" wiring. Very low action, Plays effortlessly. Sounds great. Bob's post about the green guitar he was trying to find reminded me of this one. So I...

With the Triple Shot ring you can get series/split to north coil/split to south coil/parallel...4 different choices. So why is it called "Triple" Shot?

Why do amps have a separate standby switch? Why not a 3 position power switch that goes from "off" to "standby" to "on"?

Here are a few that I promised to post.

I didn't know where to post this but I think the majority of our members visit here so here it is. Yesterday I received an email notifying me of a SD forum private message. When I opened it & responded then tried to send it, I got an error message. I've tried to respond several different ways...

Close but not quite. I personally like to emphasize the natural curves of the guitar rather than fight them.
