    What amp are you playing today?

    A loaded answer. I run my gx100, with about 10 or 12 amps thru my gen 3 katana artist combo. Lately I've been playing on my Marshall presets.

    StewMac Free-Way 5-Way/10-Position Switch

    Better to email/call freeway direct. They can provide wiring diagrams

    I'd like to hear your opinion on the EMG81TW mounting orientation.

    Thanks. I got my signals (pun intended) crossed. I was thinking about the prs inner/outer, series/parallel flip.

    I'd like to hear your opinion on the EMG81TW mounting orientation.

    The tws have 3 coils. 2 standard layout humbucker and a stacked under one side. Rotating the bridge pickup might cause phasing issues.

    Let's play a " What If " game with Guitar Models

    Id say either ibanez az or esp eclipse. Strat shapes are what I started on The eclipse is a new development. The AZ gets me all the right configurations and great necks The eclipses......man I love the necks on these, the short scale, the belly cut on a LP shape, etc. I own 3 of these...

    Anyone Get Anything Fun For Christmas?

    I got a set of 4 leather fender pick coasters. Very cool. Will last me the rest of my life. My wife is awesome. Oh, I also got a js2450 for Christmas back in september.

    Full Shred Pole Piece & Magnet Swap

    Did you try the all filisters with a5? My all filister set splits very well and sounds really cool split to inner coils. Sorta halfway between a strats 2 and 4 positions. Less bloated than 2 and less lucky than 4. I'd try a5 with all filisters before the a8 and ceramic. There is also...

    Full Shred Pole Piece & Magnet Swap

    I can attest to this. Lol. The attack being what it is, I can go down to 1 or 2 (before the mid hump thing happens) and still get clarity.

    Full Shred Pole Piece & Magnet Swap

    Try the filisters first. Trust me. They're cheap and easy to swap. I HATE the FS attack with the hex poles. It pushes towards a response that seems thin for some reason. I choose the filisters every time Filisters lessen the attack, and I swear that the longer poles increase power a bit...

    Full Shred Pole Piece & Magnet Swap

    I just did a pickup switcheroo between my rg520qs and my ec256. The full shreds are now back in the rg, and I shoulda left well enough alone. They Mesh so well with the tonality of the guitar. Oh, and I tried the original hex poles again in both pickups and instantly hated them, still. The...

    5 way HH Series/parallel mini toggle

    Well, then the best of luck to you! Lol :cool: I think I could land a plane with that much firepower! J/k. If I can't do it on a super switch alone or maybe with 1 mini switch (itd have to be a set it and forget it/minimal use thing for me), then i dont really need it. If the sound is...

    Any pickup mod idea before selling a Jumbo MFD equipped G&L ASAT special?

    I do this all the time! New pickups, especially ones that aren't the norm, mess with my ear's sonic expectations. Case in point: I like a5 pickups mostly, apparently. I picked up (no pun, lol) a set of dark matter 2s (ceramic mags) from dimarzio on black friday. When fired up, I heard this...

    5 way HH Series/parallel mini toggle

    I have problems like every now and then. Its always the super switches that get me. Mine stem mostly from inner coils/outer coil and identification with respect to wire color, and from rotation of the switch during wiring and putting a wire in the wrong spot The good thing with a super switch...

    Pearly gate height

    But sometimes, that extreme just works. And sounds killer. It took me years to understand and hear what pickup height and pole height adjustments did. Now, I cant unhear it. Height doesn't just change the volume, it changes the eq balance and feel under your fingers. Ive noticed that some...

    Okay, I guess I'm warming up to DiMarzios

    I just installed my dark matter 2s in my rg520qs. They replaced a mojoe/pafjoe set that I really liked. Well, its been about an hour and I like these just as much, maybe more. Dm2 neck is pretty much a lower output breed neck. Thats a good thing. Dm2 bridge sounds like a bridge version of...
