Went into the website after not visiting it for a while and was really impressed with all the new humbukcers SD offers. Very cool. But with all variants and with the EQ charts showing a pretty similar scooped B/M/T - I'm not sure what I'm looking at. I understand what the Green Magic, Hades...

Not an expert in guitar electronics so please bear with me - I'm just wondering here: as Spin A Split requires a whole knob/stacked knobs... is there a possibility to install a switch on one coil in a humbucker - that goes from full to some of the sound grounded to split?

I want to get one of these (trading other pickup for them, so that's the option). Anyone compared both pickups? What differences should I expect in terms of output, brightness, other tone characteristics? Going to use it for general Blues-Rock and Hard Rock...

Not sure I ever played a Fred... at least not in recent years. How much is its design different than the classic Gibson PAF design? mainly in terms of tone and response... I can see that at least the screws are different... And how well does the Fred works in non-Floyd Rose guitars and for stuff...

My first Tele, finally! and it's a kickazz partscaster. My first post in this guitar forum (or any other guitar forum) was about Teles. I always wanted one. USACG ash body and two piece neck (asymmetrical Texas Blues profile and 7.25' to 9.5' radius); Don Mare A-5 Magnificent 7 bridge pickup...

Well, I've got a small box in the mail a while ago. It was Curly's version of the Big Muff Pi. I really wanted to make a demo before I post but it has been such a busy period - so this is just a big thank you to my friend from the SDUGF. It sounds much better than the EHX Big Muff I've used...

Re: Big money guitars? IE PRS Private reserve etc.. That's the thing - beyond minimal quality there are diminishing returns. There are guitars that are bad enough to have negative impact on your playing. My nicest guitar isn't my most expensive guitar, BTW. And hey, I own only two guitars...

I want to buy a used volume pedal, mostly for Roy Buchanan, Walter Trout styles of volume swells. They do it with their pinky and I'm not quite happy with my pinky when I compare it to Roy's... I have two options which are priced pretty well: 1. a 250K Ernie Ball (yes, it will be the first...

I left the Strat at home today and took my Gibson Nighthawk to rehearsal. It's a set neck, with typical Gibson woods (mahogany body and neck, maple top, rosewood fingerboard) but in a way it's built more like a Tele with a string through bridge, flat top and a 25.5" scale. I played it with the...

Hi all. I'm GASing for a treble booster lately, but there are so many options and all of them by small manufacturers that I'm not sure about what I should try... basically I'm looking for Blackmore's warmer tones (Machine Head...) and Rory Gallagher's Irish Tour tones... and anything that could...

Okay, after more than a year of practicing with my current band we got a gig. Apparently, people like our rehearsal recordings and actually want to book us. Good news. Bad news are - I need a new amp. We can probably rent for the first gig but I really need to buy something bigger than my...

Little dilemma here: I want to upgrade my wah. I have a made in the USA Vox (by Dunlop?). Reasonable buffer, but I mainly want a led that would tell me when it's on or off and an external power supply instead of the battery. The tone is more or less what I want although I wouldn't mind tweaking...

...and shared your ideas with them? I know the question sounds a little weird but seriously, a lot of guys here (including myself) say stuff like "wouldn't it be nice if copmany A made a version of model B that has features XYZ..." Did any of you actually wrote an email or called any...

Not a lot of reviews on the internet about Zhangligun's humbuckers. Anyone tried the Pagey, Brownbucker or Duanebucker? I'm just really curious...

I've recently bought a multi effect - a Zoom G1U. Works great (for a digital pedal) and there's no problem when I plug it to the computer through the USB - it can actually take its power from there. The only problem is, when I press the record button on the programs that came with it, there...
