agree on the transistors, in my experience they don't make such a difference, unless you compare very low HFE and very high HFE trannies, but just in terms of gain.

I think it would overlap with deluxe series

I had a jbj in the 90s (I didn't know it was a precious thing back then, but I remember the sticker on, I sold it eons ago), I don't know if it's just psychoacoustics or nostalgic impression but the modern jb I have now on the same strat doesn't give me the same feeling I remember, it lacks a...

Nut would be interesting, but the slots are really tiny to print. Fancy pickups rings and custom pickups adapting mounting supports another option, for example I'd use it to mount a standard tele pu on a jumbo mfd g&l cavity

Being myself a fan of the JB with 250K, I'd try this first, this would also make easier to pair single coil pickups in the same guitar

A Hendrix devoted board indeed, I like it very much. The little ibanez bug delay sounds beautiful indeed, I had it

I had the chance to buy a 2nd hand Boss SD-1w, I have several SD-1, one original, other modified in various ways, so this new one would had been not so useful but I've always been curious about this version, in the standard mode particularly. If you look around most of the people say it's just...

'the great rock n roll swindle'

I'd try some hotter single coils, they would also better pair with the HB, or some stacked HB some are a little beefier without being too much nasally (like a SSL5 or a DMZ FS1 could be in neck or middle pos)

what pickups are you going to use? the 250K / 500K is not a perfect rule, for example, with my ears , I don't like 500K with JB, I do prefer 250K (matter of taste)

Undoubtedly, but , for example, I don't like double locking for several reasons: 1. You need tools for changing strings, not for me, I want to be free to do it on the fly without thinking 'did I took the Allen key??' Or loosing 15 minutes in finding it in the guitar case or in a pocket 2. I...

I like Fripp's wife very much

in 1990 or 91 I had a washburn N2 with a 500L in , never liked, I changed it with a Duncan but I don't remember which, I bet a JB, anyway I remember a big upgrade, then I soon sold it, don't know the end of that 500L

Last incarnation of my main board. I switched an epbooster for a slightly modified vintage OD2 turbo overdrive in mode I (I increased a little the bass and the volume, I do prefer it over a standard SD-1 super overdrive which is too much mid forward)

Mine is a 86 Fujigen strat (I bought it in 88), I can confirm, top level Edit: I've just realized this year it's the 40th birthday of this guitar , I'm shocked
