I've decided to get my first LP-type guitar at some point in the summer and I'm torn between these two. http://www.epiphone.com/Products/Les-Paul/Prophecy-Les-Paul-Custom-Plus-EX.aspx (this one I can find at 629 €) http://www.espguitars.com/products/9526-ec-1000fm-asb (this I can find at 899...

Anyone know anything about these pickups? DD1 (bridge) and DD5 (neck). I watched a bit of this online show and Jeff Diamant from Diamond guitars mentioned these models at some point. edit: on 01:01:00 or so...

59n or PGn? What do you suggest as a better match out of these two for Alternative-8 in terms of output and EQ?

Re: SH-8 in 5-way switch (1 humbucker only; Ibanez S7320) If you make everything on the signal path water-proof except the ground you can fill the cavity with water and you're set. lol. That reminds me of the oil-cooled pc systems:

I need a single coil for a humbucker route. Have you guys ever tried a sh-3 in the neck position? I'm interested in its single coil sound. I'm between this or the 59n (well it's not sc but I love its sound) to match with an Alt8 for heavy/epic/power metal. I use neck pickup for clean intros or...

Re: tip to reduce rattle from loose humbuckers Almost always I had problems with the regular thin pickup springs. The pickups always had an angle and not sitting straight in parallel with the strings. Tubing solved this very well for me, especially if you cut it a bit longer and press it...

Hi guys, I have a guitar with 3 pots and because I don't like tone controls I was thinking about a configuration with only volume controls. Of course there is always the option to leave the two knobs as dummy knobs but I thought why not make it with 3 vol pots instead. One for bridge, one for...

Re: First attempt wiring. How does it look? Check that black light tattoo too:

Re: First attempt wiring. How does it look? Actually I thought that was the term for all halogen lambs but maybe you mean those black light ones? Or maybe the blue fluorescent ones. Then yeah they are beautiful. black light blue fluorescent

Re: ESP - Hellraiser guitar build project Today I got the wood, it's a piece of hard maple 240cm x 15cm x 5.2cm for neck and body sides and a piece of bubinga for the fretboard. They didn't have rosewood and I got that instead, it's stiff and I think it will enhance the stability of the neck...

Two weeks ago I decided to start building a guitar from scratch. Once a custom order is too expensive I decided to build it on my own. So this is gonna take me long as I won't do much work every day as the day is shorter in winter and the only space I have for this job is my balcony lol. Also I...

Guitar building guys! Is it possible to dye rosewood fretboards to make them look like ebony? Well not exactly but at least close.

What difference would you expect between a normal set-neck LP (mahogany/maple top - mahogany/ebony) and a neck-through LP with the same woods? Both in tone and sustain. Any audible difference or...?

The Warmoth parts have arrived and I decided to assemble the guitar without applying the conductive paint for the noise etc. I'm going to do it later. I was too eager to start working on it so I spent a whole night but now it's ready. The specs are these: Warmoth Strat Alder HSS Schaller Floyd...
