Time has come for a NAD post (1 of 2). Solved my Fender Tone Hunt with a brand spankin' new Fender Hot Rod Blues Deluxe Reissue! Is it awesome? Yes. Touch and volume knob sensitive? Yes. Loud? My neighbours two houses over sent me a text congratulating me on my new amp... Heavy? Yes and no...

How much are you willing to lower the price when selling a guitar? Do you have a certain rule, like sell it at least 75% of new sticker price (if in pretty good condition)? Or are you more willing to let it go just for the sake of letting it go and having less clutter? I'm in this situation...

I'm moving away (ways away) from my humbucking LP through a Marshall to a Fender + Fender sound. Something I've been yearning to do for years and after a long hiatus from general playing, the time has come... So I have the guitar, a brand spankin' new American Pro II Strat (NGD post coming soon...

I'm currently rocking a TSL601. Have been for almost a decade (if not possibly more). It's seen bar gigs, church gigs, huge hall worship gigs. I've always been playing through humbuckers. Really like the sound. But I've been wondering, maybe there's more? (who am I kidding, of course there's...

Hi guys, Soldered in the original pups in an Epi LP according to this: 2 Hum, 2 Vol, 2 Tones, 3 Way And I'm getting a sudden tone change around the 3 area on both neck and bridge. Tone pots are new, 500K. But they are/were labeled B500K. Could it be the "B" (meaning linear) that's causing...

So it's semi-close. Did the schematic off of GeoFex. Sounds decent if you roll everything off a bit (guitar tone+volume and pedal tone+Volume). Has a nice singing quality to the notes but double stops in the low registers lack definition. Used BC558 transistors instead of germanium because the...

Re: Merry Christmas Amplifier Central Friends :-) Post Pic of your fav amp here! One of the ones behind him ;)

So, after a previous thread on asking if it was possible, I started repairing. I have this strange feeling that this must have been done at the airport. Reasons: 1. the case has a 'fragile, handle with care' on the front and back of it. 2. the guitar looks brand new, how does one destroy it...

I just scored (?) this, an Ibanez Talman, from a friend. But, is it worth anything or are the parts destined for a possible future partscaster? The broken off neck is in one piece with the break following what is seen in the above pics.

If your pedals say they can take anything from 9v to 18v...do you try giving them 18v? I'm asking because I have a MP SHOD and a Dunlop Brick and was wondering if I should risk it. (Risk because somewhere deep down inside I feel as if providing the max amount of voltage would make it too easy...

Just curious. I bought a trolley today because I finally got fed up with carrying my amp from the car to random places. You guys?

Coming from the guitar junkie thread, I read the site with all the "You might be a [guitar]junkie if..." And one caught my attention. You tune a 2000 dollar guitar with a 9 dollar tuner. So, do you? Or have you gone with something more expensive?

Guitar in question is this I'm considering it, but I have literally no experience with LP studio's. Price roughly would be 1000CAD. Seller says there's authentic papers and a gigbag included. If I were to get this one I'd sell the Epi I'm currently rockin on. It has P90's if I'm correct. I...

What I mean, is that the amount of customization available to guitarists is through the roof and it sometimes seems like such a daunting task to find a sound you like. Take for example: Strings Pups (and then magnets, split, tap...) Picks Bridge pieces and tuners Frets Pots Caps on the pots...

And the appropriate clip. Excuse the uneveness. I played the Wolverine first and then the V30. I kept all the same settings and everything was at noon save for OD gains, master volume, and reverbs, in order to give as fair of a comparison that I could. Microphone placement was also the same...
