I see people using them, and they put it right over the pickups. It seems like the magnetic field could screw with the magnets in the pickups, but everyone who uses one does it like that.

So, it's being sold by a company called "Global Liquidation" through Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008DX14LU/ These used to be going for $200, and were sold exclusively from Guitar Center and Musician's Friend, kinda like the "1" pedal the Mad Professor did for them. I can no longer find...

So, there's this contest coming up where you're supposed to dream up a strat body. I was thinking about a Mahogany strat with P90 neck pickup, something strat sized, and a humbucker. I'm not knowledgeable about p90s, but I've heard they're pretty hot. For the humbucker, I was thinking either a...

A friend of mine sent me this link, wasn't sure if it was legit but it's listed on the official Primus web site: Les Claypool's personal Pachyderm prototype Bass for Baby Matthew signed I don't have 9k, but I could see how a primus fan might want this, especially if it helped save a little...

So, I've tempted to do something like Brian May's Red special, except it will be nothing like the red special except for the switches ... Anyway, I've been reading up on it in various places, especially this web page...

I've been trying to get it through amp modeling, but I'm thinking I'm going to have to break the bank and get a new amp, because I just can't get that tone. wlq0lYB3iSM

I already have the bridge pickup, and I've been thinking about getting some lipstick pickups for the neck/middle. Would they match, volume-wise?

So, I bought this guitar on Ebay. The description said "broken." I thought, hey, I'll fix it up. Cleaned it up, gave it some some solder on the parts where the wire had broken, and a new set of strings, and it all works ... except the high "E" string, which makes no sound. Also, the B...

So, I was reading about Keith Richards tele "Micawber" on various forums the other night. On one, there was some speculation that he was using a blend knob to blend the sound of the neck and the bridge, which got me to thinking about blend knobs. Like, how do they work? Am I correct in...

Soooo.... when Warmoth had their sale, I got a Neck. Then I got a body for the neck.* I had intended on saving up and getting a warmoth guitar in Fall 2010, but with the 20% sale, I had to bite. Specifications: Body: Chambered Korina strat Body, dyed green with DT green binding, HSH...

So, I'm thinking about putting together a guitar, based around a set of phat staple pickups that I bought last summer. Now, I've heard that it doesn't really make that much of a difference with humbuckers whether they're f-spaced or Gibson spaced, but would that hold true for Phat Staples as well?

I thought this was kinda nifty: http://pedalboardplanner.com/ It's a virtual Pedalboard planner, for planning out your pedal board. There are many different pedals to choose from, although I didn't see any electro-harmonix or Seymour Duncan pedals. But for the ones that aren't listed you...

Has anyone tried a triple-shot with a Stratocaster (or similar) pickguard yet? I'm trying to figure out if it would fit in the bridge position of my Hwy 1 strat.

Title says it all. I've seen pickup winders (the machines.) I've seen ads for "hand-wound" pickups. What exactly does it mean to "hand wind" a pickup?

I've been thinking about replacing the pickups on my Hwy1 strat. The ones I have are okay, but they don't have that sweet chimey bell sound. I was originally thinking about the SSL-1, because I heard that those are what John Frusciante of RHCP uses, but after listening to the sound samples, I'm...
