I've had this guitar for years, and I've modded it a trillion times... it's my baby. Well, I just decided to make it a 3- Humbucker. Bridge - Dimebucker, Mid - JB, Neck - A2Pro. I'm SO psyched, I'll be able to do anything with this guitar now... Anyone else have 3 Humbuckers in an SG?

I swear, it seems like more than half this board is dedicated to Dimarzio. Isn't there something not quite correct about that? Maybe it's just me, but I feel like advertising on a forum for the greatest competition of said forum doesn't seem like the right thing.

ARGH!!! JB, CC, JB, CC, what the hell do I want? I thought I was set on JB until about a half hour ago, when I checked out on here and people are raving like crazy over the CC. But, then I hear that it isn't as clean, and doesn't rock quite as much. And then I hear that it still rocks...

I'm going to Sam Ash tomorrow to put down a deposit on my Vox 120 Watt Valvetronix 2X12 combo. I'm really psyched about this, as I've become fed up with my tone that I'm getting from my current amp. Of course, I haven't gotten my new pickups yet, but for now, I'll deal. Anyways, just updating...

My MIM Strat, I need to do something with the bridge pickup. I have a QP in the neck, I dig it. The A2P in the mid, dig it tremendously. the Custom staggered in the bridge, it isn't doing a damned thing for me. I'm looking to go with something that will give me a moderate amount of power...

Alnico II Pro Humbucker in the neck, JB in the bridge. The APH-1 was essentially a given for the neck, but for about a week now, I've been tossing back and forth between JB, CC, Custom, C5, 59, and PG, but I have decided upon the JB. I hope this turns out to be a great decision for my SG. I...

I'm looking into getting an Earvana compensating nut for my SG, but I'm just not positive how to go about measuring it. I know this is retarded, but I'm not very technical that way, I just like to play and I'm lucky if I restring my guitar correctly. If anyone could tell me how to go about...

Can someone give me some opinions on the Santana Bridge pickup? And, if you're really cool, some of the other bridge pickups?

and, what pickups he used, or, what SD humbucker you could use for that tone? JB would do the trick, right?

I'm almost positive (pending responses on my EVH thread) that I will be putting one of these two pickups into the bridge of my SG with the APH-1 in the neck. I have seen the tone chart, and what not, but my big question is such: What style of music can I play with the JB, but by no means with...

When I change my pickups in my SG, I'm looking to keep a medium-high output pickup in the bridge, with an APH-1 in the neck. Currently, I'm torn between a JB and a CC, but I'm very curious about the EVH. Can anyone tell me about this pickup, in terms of output, high-mid-low, clarity...

Do you find that you lose any tone by putting a metal cover over your pickup, ala 50's humbuckers?

I've been terribly gassing for a new amp the past couple months, and, with graduation, will get one. I've really been after a Deville 212, but today I saw some stuff on the Vox Valvetronix series, and it looks reeeeeeallly nice. Looks like what I essentially need in an amp. Cleans up and...

So, at Sam Ash the other day, I was talking Fender amps with the associate. He was telling me that, if you use a lot of pedals, a Deville will not be high quality, whereas, say, a Cyber Twin (which I don't want) will be better because the line is more "sterile" as he put it. Anyway, does that...

So, I'm looking for a combo amp that can clean up well, and play with some overdrive but nothing too heavy sounding, but I checked out the LoneStar 212 while I was looking at stuff. Now, I'm pretty positive I want a Hot Rod Deville 212, but I figured I'd price check the Mesa, and, DAMN!, it was...
