I have a few items up for sale. 1) SD Phat Cat neck. About 10 years old only installed once and in fair to decent shape. Plenty of lead left. Comes with black mounting ring. Asking $40 2) Quarter Pound Tapped for Tele. This pickup is in like new condition. Never installed with uncut leads...

hey guys, just wondered if i should replace one of the pots with a 500k? the volume?

I was wondering how much worse these sound as opposed to say the APS's? I'm kinda broke right now and my strat has no electronics because i tore out the SCN/DH-1/S-1 assembly because the SCNs don't sound anything like what I'm going for. If I pick up a set of cheesy ceramic singles for dirt...

I"m letting go of my stock Fender aged pearloid pickguard with a DH-1 in the bridge and SCNs in the middle and neck positions. Great pickups but not my cup o tea. For some reason the bridge pickup is not always functional. I'm sure it's a loose wire or something but frankly I'm too lazy to fix...

Hey guys, I'm going to be winding my own strat style single coils for the Jaguar I'm building and was looking for some info as to how to shoot for a certain sound from the pickup. In other words, I don't know how to wind it to get (insert pickup model here) sound and was hoping a few guys here...

Hey guys, I'm looking to get a double cream JB for my strat and I was wondering if it can be had without going custom shop. I know there's that stipulation involving the pickup needing to be covered but as I said I don't know if I could get one without paying $160. Also, I don't have my strat...

Hey fellas, I'm currently building a '72 tele deluxe which is pretty true to the original except I'm using a Phat Cat in the neck position as opposed to that awful enormous fender humbucker. My question is, what mini humbucker should I put in the middle to get some strat tones while keeping the...

I've searched the forums for awhile in search of an instructional tool I can use to ween me off the bad habits I've surely gotten into by not taking a huge interest in practicing over the years. I don't care about playing a million miles an hour, sweep picking or anything that's clearly beyond...

Hey guys, Im going to be building a ‘72 Telecaster Custom replica and am thinking about using a STL-3 Quarter-Pound Lead model in the bridge and a Phat Cat in the neck. This particular guitar will have a volume and tone for each pickup and a three way gibson style switch. I was wondering what...

What is the impedence of the stock speaker in this amp? Also, how many bolts does it use to connect to the baffle? 4? 8?

I just got the guitar of my dreams with a Kahler 2300 series flat mount tremolo and am wondering if anyone makes a device like the tremol-no, trem converter etc for a Kahler? If not I was thinking of designing something but that would take a long time planning and deciding what would actually...

I only had a set of light takamine acoustic strings and I was too excited to wait and I threw those onto my Aria Pro II and didn't really think anything of it until I changed the strings to a similar gauged electric set and all the sparkle and resonance seemed to be gone. I guess the brass...

does anyone know if there is a push/pull pot that one can have two seperate adjustable controls on. by that i mean is there a way for me to have volume and tone on one pot without going concentric?

Hey folks, I just bought an Aria Pro II Cardinal Series (amazing guitar I've wanted for years) and love the pickups and current electronics but would love to add one or two little things to really push the guitar into perfection territory. The guitar currently has independant volume and tone...
