I assume this is the right room to post this. I'm looking to overhaul my guitar cable stash. I've got a mix of random crap I've acquired over the years. Most of the cables don't work that well except for my one Monster cable that I paid too much for years ago. Anyway I'm looking to start...

CTN and I were having a small discussion on this in the off-topic area so I decide to start a thread dedicated to it. CTN sets up his axe every few string changes, but at a minimum every change of season. I haven't had my guitar set-up since 1999. In all honesty, I'm most likely way over due...

I found this site from a guy at work that may interest some around here. My friend bought the vertical 2x12 cabinet and I had him get the 20" pedal board (further down the page) for me to include in the shipment. We'll see how this thing is quality-wise when it gets here...

....I'll press down on the pedal like normal and it won't turn on even though the red power light illuminated when I pushed the pedal down. The light goes off as soon as I remove my foot. I'll press it again and then it stays on. It doesn't always stay on after a 2nd try sometimes it takes 3...

My old neighbor told me about them a long time ago when he turned me on to Danny Gatton (sidenote: If you don't know Danny Gatton, get on YouTube NOW!). Anyway Joe Barden pickups were designed for Danny Gatton who was a Tele player. Since then, JB has expanded to make pickups for Strats and...

I tried searching and could not find any threads here related to this. I'm in the process of polishing up and restringing my guitar. Usually I use a little light guitar polish/cleaner spray on a rag and wipe down my strat pick guard, but I stay away from the pickups because of the moisture. I...

Background: A while back I got my dad's old Marshall Club and Country 4140. It hasn't had new tubes since like '94 so I want to get it re-tubed amongst other things. Anyway I was doing some research and found that the original tubes this amp was designed for are KT77's, whatever that means...

Does anyone know where I can find that rubber tubing that goes over the pickup mounting screws? I've adjusted them to what I think is the correct height, however this lower height resulted in the rubber tubing being too short now, so there is some play in the screws. I want to cut new pieces...

Hey All, Ok so I tried to search existing threads and did not find exactly what I was looking for. When I put SD's in my strat (Lil 59 neck and bridge, Duckbucker in middle) I never really paid close attention to adjusting them properly. I just installed them, roughly tweaked the overall...

So pumped to restore this thing and use it! He hasn't used it much in the last 15 years or so, and the tubes were changed at least 20 years ago. I plan to clean up the exterior and replace all of the tubes. Despite a few nicks in some of the vinyl, overall it's in great condition...

Hey bros, I'm a self admitted noob when it comes to pots and understanding how they work. To give a little background first, I have a '99 American Standard stratocaster and around '06, I replaced all of the stock single coil pickups with SD's. I have a Little '59 in the neck and bridge, and a...

Broke my pickup out of its casing…. So I was adjusting the pole pieces on my duckbucker and, as some of you know, those screws are a little hard to turn. So I was applying a moderate amount of pressure so the tiny flat head screw driver would stay in the groove, and I ended up pushing too hard...

Hey guys. I remember when I first joined the forum there was a thread where everyone was recommending this great instructional DVD.....I think it may have been a particular guy....I remember there being a guys name but I don't remember it. I tried to search for the thread but I couldn't find...

Hey guys I tried doing a search but I couldn't find any threads that had info on cleaning a white pickguard. My strat's pickguard is turning yellow from my sweat and I was wondering what's the best way to get it too like white again? Thanks in advance!

so lately I've been getting tired of complicated pedal setups, especially with gigging all the time now, and I'm sure most of you know how bars/clubs are with rushing bands on and off stage as quickly as possible. I like simplicity so the less wires and connections I'm dealing with, the less...
