    JB/STK-S6 combo in an attempt at Rhoads-style doubling!

    Here's a pretty close double of a solo track I did for a tune I'm working on. For both tracks I used my 1-piece Koa Warmoth Strat with a JB in the bridge and an STK-S6 in the neck (Recently I direct-mounted the JB with a PMS and I love that, too). I like the way it turned out. But holy crap what...

    Fun with a Custom 8 and STK set!

    Here's a track I did using my Charvel mutt Strat that has a Custom 8 in it and my Warmoth Strat that has an STK-S6/S4/S9B set. All the dirt tracks are the Custom 8, and the weirdo clean track is the Warmoth using the STK-S9B & S4 combined. For amp emulations I used a combination of Acme Bar Gig...

    Stacked single to match Custom 8 in bridge position recommendations?

    S/H Super Strat, Ash body, maple neck, recessed OFR w/ a Titanium Floyd Upgrades Big-Block. LOVING the C8 in her (my first mag swap, and wildly successful), but I tried a cheapo Ebay Dimarzio Virtual Vintage Heavy Blues that turned out to be defective and needs to be replaced... Suggestions...

    Ask the experts: Ash body, maple neck Super Strat with TB Custom - A8 or UOA5?

    Alright, so after multiple delays, I'm finally getting the Charvel mutt I've been planning on making the first guinea pig for my 1st mag swap back from getting finished soon, but figured it'd be nice to have some input from the Duncan forum bros before I dive in. It's a 2-piece KnE Northern Ash...

    The great Floyd Rose Big-Block Shootout.

    Since over the past year and a half I've become addicted to FloydUpgrades Big-Blocks of both the Brass and Titanium variety, one of the questions I'm invariably asked is "What do they sound like? What are the differences?" Well, sometimes verbal descriptions fall short; something has to be heard...

    Duncan + Mesa-Boogie + Recabinet = ROCK.

    Hey guys, Thought I'd share some of what I'm working on lately. My main guitars for the heavy tracks on this have been my two parts-mutt Super-Strats, one Koa and one Ash, outfitted with a Duncan TB-11/STK S1-N combo and TB-5 respectively. Also using some traditional-build (no humbuckers or...

    Anyone tried Recabinet for home recording?

    I've been doing a lot of recording at home lately...bit the bullet last year and got a Pro Tools setup for my PC on the recommendation of a producer friend, picked up PODfarm and started laying down tracks. While I love the vast array of esoteric emulations available via PODfarm, I was still...

    Titanium Floyd Rose Big-Blocks are the shiznit.

    I've been a fan of Floydupgrades.com's Brass Big Blocks for OFRs for over a year now, and I finally decided to give the Titanium ones a shot. I dropped for one last week that arrived yesterday. I removed the Brass one from my 1-piece Koa-bodied Warmoth Strat and replaced it with the Titanium...

    Starting to really dig the Custom Family...

    :friday: Greetings all. As I posted some months ago in here, decided to swap out all my active humbucker-equipped Strats back to passives, and since I'd always had great luck with Duncan Distortion humbuckers in my teens, decided to try Duncans again. While I still want to try an Alt8 in...

    Rebuilding my High-School sweetheart

    Yep, got her senior year, 1984...one of the first few Kramers with Floyds to hit my rural hometown...mostly becase I mail ordered it, lol... Played it for a couple of years, then started building Strats with Charvel (this was back when you could GET Charvel parts, recall) and Warmoth parts...

    TB-11/STK -S1N combo in H/S Strat w/ Floyd

    So I finally got around to swapping out the EMG 89/SA combo I had in my 1-piece Koa bodied, Ebony-fingerboard Floyded Warmoth parts Strat today for a TB-11/STK-S1N set-up. I had long since grown tired of the EMGs and wanted something more organic and responsive. I'm quite pleased with the...
