Anyone have experience with these pups? I saw a great video of Charlie Star from Blackberry Smoke using a set of Tyson Precious and Grace in a '58 LP Custom. They sounded pretty awesome. Of course using a '58 LP through a cranked Marshall didn't hurt. Thanks

I'm looking for a company that makes really soft leather straps. Most of what I've seen are too stiff and not flexible or comfortable enough. Any suggestions? I appreciate the helps folks! Thanks in advance, Jeff

I'm cleaning up my friend's 1987 Strat Plus. It has the Wilkinson split nut. When I restring it, is there a particular way to thread it through? Thanks guys

I've got a 2014 Firebird V that I got last year (posted pics back then). Anyway, i finally opened the control cavity & noticed it has these tiny blue caps instead of orange drops. Anyone know about these?. The 'Bird sounds awesome, so I'm not concerned. Just curious

A while back, I posted a thread on the 2014 Firebird my wife bought me for my 60th. Still a great guitar and it sits in my den so I can play it while watching TV at night. I read a bunch of warning about not putting a 'Bird on a guitar stand because of the risk of tipping over. I finally found...

This thing sustains like crazy. I know some people don't like the ceramic magnets in these pups, but I've no complaints. I love the look of the grain.

I've been interested in the 2014 Firebird (sunburst) for a while. Goes for $1618 and change. The other day I ran across the 2015 Junior (yellow), but haven't played one yet. The Junior is going for about $900. If anyone has played either one and can give me some impressions, I'd appreciate it a...

I've been using the D'Andrea Delrex large jazz pick for a while now, but I'm looking for something with a better grip. I don't drop picks often, but if I sweat at all the pick can shift during playing. V-Picks are supposed to improve grip, and they have some that are similar in shape to the...

Did Gibson drop it from the new line up? What jackasses if they did. They've added a few new models that don't look that exciting (IMO)

I recently cleaned the sockets on my Crate VC5212, because the popping and static noises returned a while after I re-tubed the amp (power tubes only. I'm now thinking the real problem is with the preamp tubes). Anyway, I used Radio Shack tuner cleaning spray on the tube pins and the sockets...

I want to replace the nylon mesh strap I've been using for years with my LP. I hate the current strap, because it's uncomfortable, and want to find a good soft leather one. Any suggestions regarding manufacturers will be greatly appreciated, ladies and gentlemen:beerchug: Thanks in advance

Ok. The Nomad arrived last Friday, and I got a chance to play through it over the weekend. This will be a brief review since I played it for less than an hour. I'll give it a better workout this weekend. 1. Very solidly built. Using hardwood ply vs particle board. The tweed (vinyl) covering is...

I just bought a Carvin Nomad (50watt 1X12), with tweed covering. I needed something that's lighter weight than the Crate VC5212 I have, but with the same output. This one can also take an extension cabinet whereas the Crate can't. Can't wait. UPS is supposed to deliver it by this Friday...

The other day I replaced the bridge pickup in my SG and was testing it out (Seth Lover). The first time, I played all went well. The next day I plugged in, waited for the tubes to get heated, then hit the standby switch. The amp made a lot of crackling and other noises for a moment, then I began...

I've had a CC in the bridge of my '61 reissue for a long time and I think it's time for a change. Anyone tried the WLH in one? Thanks in advance.
