Fender Player Stratocaster in Surf Pearl I bought back in March. Put a mint pearl guard and JB in it. Love it!

I've been looking at cheap Squier and Sterling basses for a couple months to add to the collection since I haven't bought one in 10+ years. Saw this one recently and bookmarked it, went back today to see it was on sale so I pulled the trigger! Looks pretty sexy with the block inlays on maple...

I have a stock single coil from a 2012 Made in Mexico FSR Paisley Telecaster. It was only in the guitar for a few months before I swapped it for a Hot Rails. It's been in a box ever since, I thought I might use it for a project but never did. I am interested in trades mostly. I need a...

So I've got a new JB trembucker I'm about to put it my new Fender Player Strat because the bridge single is weak and noisy for the rock I like to play. I'm curious what you guys would recommend in the neck position for this guitar, something single size because my new pickguard is HSS. I'm...

Looking for a Hot Lead Stack or a Hot Rails for telecaster bridge.

I haven't bought a guitar in about 7 years, but I finally convinced my fiancee that we've saved enough for me to get myself a birthday present. I went to my local Sam Ash today intending to try out some Les Paul style guitars and some shred sticks. I didn't intend to walk out with anything. I...

The tremolo bar on my Ibanez with Edge Pro III is loose and swings around. I can't stand reaching down to grab for it when I need it, it always seems too cumbersome. I'm positive you guys have some quick and easy remedies to make my bar stay where i want it. Thanks in advance.

I got a Duncan SH-5 Custom put in the bridge of my Epi LP Custom about a month ago and I've been loving the tones I get out that guitar ever since. The only problem now is the neck pickup sounds dead. No presence or life to it at all. I solo on the Custom now because it has the highs that...

So I noticed while watching a Led Zeppelin DVD that Page wraps his strings around the tailpiece on his Les Paul. Since then I've heard of other well known guitarists doing the same. I wanted to try this last time I strung up my guitar but the reinforced ball-ends on the string would not allow me...

I hear pickups referred to all the time as sounding "big". What exactly does big mean? Is it a frequency range? Is it the output level? Is it a combination of many factors? When I hear a pickup referred to as big it usually makes me think it has a pronounced low end, but I'm not really sure if...

Here is a YouTube link of my family "band" playing The Trooper by Iron Maiden. The sound quality isn't the best, and we have no bass player or singer, but you can still get the idea of what we sound like. My father is on the drums, and my uncle plays lead guitar. I'm the one on the stage with...

I still have a gold Gibson 57 Classic for bridge I need to get rid of. It doesn't have original packaging but does have springs and screws. These are great pickups, just not the modern sound I'm looking for. Here's some standard spaced bridge pickups I'm interested in trading for; Duncan...

I have a gold covered Gibson 57 Classic bridge humbucker that I'm looking to sell or trade for another humbucker. It's in excellent condition with minor cosmetic blemishes, and I'd expect a trade to be in similar condition. From the research I've done and responses I've gotten here on the...

I have stock covered humbuckers in my Epiphone Les Paul Custom, I plan on changing my bridge pickup to a Duncan Custom once I get the money, what I would like to know is how is the Gibson 57 Classic pickup I have going to sound in the neck? I'm looking for more clarity on my neck pickup because...

I play mostly covers of classic metal songs from Scorpions, Zeppelin, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden that kind of stuff. Also play some originals which are metal, more of a Testament sound. I would say that Mathias from Scorpions has the kind of tone I'm looking for. However he has a kind of open...
