Guitar is a Hamer Californian, 1st gen Korean version (technically a slammer but no slammer name on headstock). Very stratish and thin sounding. I guess my love for this thing is because the neck is identical to a crappy samick made Korean guitar I played growing up. Down side... it sounds...

I have a newish guitar that has had the stock pickups swapped with duncans... never noticed this until I plugged into an amp without a noisegate. I'm guessing maybe a ground thing between the 2 pots and jack? Unfortunately everything visually looks fine.

I have a LTD maverick with a duncan designed single coil hot rail in the neck and a hb103 in the bridge. I added a coil split to the tone pot, and the sounds I can get out of the two pickups are so good I didn't bother swapping out the pickups for a SD hotrail/full shred combo I was planning on...

I've tried the JB, it works and is punchy but IMO its really suited better to snappier 25.5" scale length guitars. It will work ok though. Tried the SH-11b, is a step up from the usual JB sound, but as many improvements it makes I think it comes up lacking in as many other departments...

I gave re-wiring a LTD maverick (slant single coil neck/humbucked brige, 1 vol, 1 tone, 3 way switch) for coil splitting a shot based on a schecter diagram I found here: http://disgaeamt.ru/archives/schecter_wiring/schecter_c1_elite.pdf I really like having push/pull on the tone pot and not...

Guitar is a superstrat w/24.75 scale.. maple neck/mahogany body. JB sounds awesome as usual, neck pickup right now is a "duncan designed" hotrail. Obvious choice is a proper shr1n hot rail for the neck but I was hoping for something with a lot more tonal options. I'm worried the lil '59...

I soldered in some new pickups (SH-2N and a TB-4) on my Jackson Kelly. The job is simple enough with no tone control. The jazz neck pickup sounded loose so I wiggled it around and got it working. Later I resoldered the hot/black wire to the post... went to check it and it was completely dead...

So I bought a used jackson kelly a while ago with a broken strap post screw. I've been trying to figure out the best way to go about repairing this. Should I try to remove the old screw/drill into it, or drill a new hole right beside it? I'm installing a schaller strap lock in its place.

I got a Jackson KE-3 for a steal so I'm going to spend the savings on a KE-2 pickup configuration (SH-2N and TB-4). The "duncan designed" "detonators" on it right now are pretty questionable. The only twist with the KE-3 is that there is no tone control and only 1 volume control. Not a big...
