I traded an Ibanez Artcore semi hollow that I wasn't using much because everything it was good at my SG does better, plus 100 dollars (by the way I got the Artcore with gift certificates so I have very little money in this Satriani). I recognize that it is the Korean made bottom end of the...

I've had a Gibson Dickie Betts string set on my SG a week now and I really like the sound and feel. I also went back to the GHS Gilmour set on My JV Strat (SSL-5, SSL-1, CS '69 combo with a neck on switch - as close as I can be to a Gilmour tribute). I wonder why there aren't more 10, 12...

I thinking of getting a Singlecut SE either normal or Korina and putting in the JB(A8) and Jazz I have sitting on a shelf. Any thoughts?

I love the 59's in my SG but I find myself GASsing over an SG Classic with P-90s. Another guitar is out of the question. I don't play all the ones I have enough as it is. So my question is if I go to P-Rails can I combine the two?

It's certainly nothing fancy, a Faded Special with a '59 set in it. I got to pick it out from nearly all of the ones they had in stock at Guitar Center, which in the case of the one in Kendall, FL., was a nice place to shop until the Corporate Weasels bought them out. I knew it was mine when I...

And it was indeed easy. Anyhow, I tried an A8 in the bridge '59 of my SG but decided that wasn't what I wanted so I put the A5 back in - din't even have to take the strings off for that. I love the '59 neck and I like the '59 Bridge a lot but I really want "more of the same." I have seen a...

EMG SA Set Lace Hot Golds Set w/hot bridge

I put an SSL-5 in my JV Strat. I absolutely love the tone of it. It's the 5th Bridge pup I've had in it and I think it's staying. Higher output and more balls but still Straty. The weird thing is that if a string touches the pole piece on the low E with the bridge SSL-5 on it kills the output...

I have a 2003 vintage Highway One Strat. It was a clearance item @ $299 at GC when I bought it. I figure it was the hideous Transparent Teal color that nobody wanted. I further buggered up the finish with my constant modding with less that proper care. I made a furtive attempt to sand or strip...

Older Highway One Strat w/Maple neck. One Pickup, one volume. Currently using a JB w/Series/Parallel/Split. Any ideas for high gain use? I'm thinking of going active - EMG 85.

I have long desired a Gibson ES-335. The thing is, I'm not going to shell out the bucks for one any time soon. I have enough guitars for my needs and can't justify the expense in this economy. Plus my wife will kill me, er, I mean, I respect her opinion in the matter and take it into...
