I'm not particular as to how it sounds because I am going to sell the strat. I want to know what form factor and set of SD(or any other brand) pickups would attract the most buyers and command the best/fastest sale. all comments will be appreciated (even those that explain to me that I am a...

Re: Got a Buzz - need wiring help I'm using Fender Custom Shop Twisted Telecaster pups. The color codes I pulled up for them on Fender wiring diagram had black as ground and while as hot as well...odd BTW, I really wanted to use my Fluence Greg Koch pups with the power bridge but scratched my...

Tele 4 way switch wired to Seymour Duncan drawing. Neck pup, no problem. Whenever selection includes bridge when I touch the strings I get a buzz. Here is the drawing: Here is the nasty reality: Part of the reason it looks so gnarly is I have wired it nine ways from Sunday with a few...

I had this happen yesterday. Tele build with Twisted Tele pups and a Fishman Power Bridge. It's like when I first heard surround sound out of a good HiFi system. It will be hard going back it sounds so full and the tone options between the twisted Tele pups and the power bridge through a...

Finishing up a Tele build with a fishman power bridge, stereo output jack. Want to be able to play with headphones. Anyone know of something like this?

Re: NGD - of sorts - got my Tele build to the point I can play it Like I said WIP:

After waiting over two weeks for the nitro to dry and a couple of days finish sanding I finally got to put it together. It's a standard Tele with a couple of twists: Twisted Tele pickups; Four position switch for series/parallel; Fishman power bridge; Three way toggle switch for twisted or...

Re: what would the result be if you added pickups over the strings? that is the easy part:

Sprained my ankle playing softball yesterday. Doc said keep off it for a few days. Great! I can lounge around and play my guitar without the wife asking me do some nonsense around the house. It didn't work out like that. I most always play standing. Sitting or stretched out on the couch are...

I mean it seems like cables are lasting a shorter and shorter time. I'm getting tired of replacing them. I think 90% of the cables now must come from China and have a built in failure device like water heaters and car batteries. Anyhow, anybody find some cables that have some longevity?

I had an old Fender Bronco solid state amp just collecting dust so I decided to do something with it. First of all this little 15 Watt amp from the early 90s sounded alright to begin with. I decided I would like to put a tube preamp in it and see what a home made hybrid might sound like...

I can't find covers for SP-90 3s anywhere. I want to switch a set from white to black, think maybe I could paint them? Will appreciate any and all responses.

It's really been a hoot seeing all the different guitars in the many categories you set up. Not only interesting but packed with ideas for future guitar paths. ------------------------------------------You did a great job Aceman and should win some sort of SDUGF...

"The Power Reduction pull switch drops the amplifier’s output power from 30 Watts to 5 Watts, which produces softer tones and a less ‘in your face’ sound." How do they pull this off? Are they switching from a push pull with the power section tubes to a single ended? If they are doing that it...
