Here's a clip of the guy who won the Guitar Idol 2009 competition. He plays an Ibanez S2020XAV fitted with a JB/Jazz pickup combination. I'm really blown away by his tone. I would have thought he was playing a CC in the bridge given how smooth it sounds...

I'm currently in the market for a new guitar and was wondering if you guys had any recommendations. I've already got a Godin LGT (no longer made) that's kind of a cross between a les paul and a tele - hum-single-single configuration, maple body, mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, and floating...

I'm looking to buy an alcino II bar magnet. Thanks!

I installed an Antiquity II Surfer in the neck position of my Godin LGT last night and all I have to say is...WOW! :laugh2: :laugh2: This pickup is hands down the best strat pickup I've played. It's chimey, sweet, smooth, sounds great both clean and under mild to moderate...

I'm looking into buying a mic preamp for recording guitar and vocals onto my PC. I've been using my cheapo 4-track as a preamp to boost the signal to line level into my Audigy 2 ZS soundcard, but the quality is obviously not that great. The Art Tube MP series looks pretty good, especially for...

I currently own a Vox wah wah pedal and although I love the tone (especially compared to the Crybaby reissue I had before), the lack of true bypass and DC outlet is really annoying. It very noticeably sucks the tone out of my guitar when this thing is off. Also, the batteries drain pretty fast...

I've currently got a Fender Texas Special in the neck position of my Godin LGT (H-S-S, mahogany body, rosewood fretboard, floating bridge) and I'm looking to replace it. It gets decent SRV tones, but can get muddy sometimes and lacks the high-end shimmer associated w/ strats. On the sound...

Ok. I own a Godin LGT guitar (H-S-S, mahogany body, rosewood fretboard, floating bridge) which I play through a Peavey Classic 50 and play a wide variety of music (pretty much everything except for jazz and country). I've had a JB in the bridge of this guitar for many years and there where...

Hello all. I've been using the JB in the bridge position of my Godin LGT guitar (H-S-S) for the past couple of years and am considering a replacement. I love the clarity of the tone that I get out of the JB, but I'm looking for something with a little more...balls. The bottom end of the JB is...
