Charvel San Dimas that I have tuned to drop D. Just wasn't digging the JB or 59. Both are sort of stiff and dry sounding to me. Playing metal though a Mark V:25. I kinda liked the JB's dynamics, just didn't like the mid honk. The 59 just sounded bland. Not sure how else to describe. So decided...

Re: Has anybody used different lengths of screw polepieces? Yes in a Full Shred. It tamed the highs and beefed up the low end a bit. I liked it better with 1 row of fillisters, 1 row of hexes.

Re: Suggestions - neck single coil to match 80's SH-5 Duncan Custom bridge pickup I just swapped out the SSL6's in my HSS Jackson Soloist SL3. Put in 2 Seymour Duncan Quarter Pounders. Couldn't stand the piercing strat tone of the SSL6's. The Quarter Pounders (SSL4 I believe) are much fatter...

Re: Tried a Black Winter - to replace a Distortion... Success!!! Got something swapped in that I really like!! I had a Full Shred lying around and had ordered fillister screws from Philadelphia Luthier to try out based on some suggestions I read either in another thread here or on the FB SD...

Tried the Black Winter. Brushed up on my sloppy soldering skills too lol. Played it for an hour. Tried to like it. But hated it. Took it back out and put the TB-6 Distortion back in. Much fuller and balanced in comparison. Still not perfect, but will do for now. The Black Winter was tight. Very...

Re: NAD - Blackstar HT 40 Ditched the HT 40... New Boss in town... :p

Re: NAD - Solid state hotness Son of JC 120? lol... well maybe not. But certainly a distant cousin... :p

Happy NAD to me! :) Went to the shop 3 days in a row to compare back and forth between this and a Marshall DSL 40C... I just honestly preferred the way the Blackstar sounded and functioned (control layout, tone adjustments, etc). I 'wanted' the Marshall - who doesn't lol.... but in the end, I...

For someone with shorter fingers (although my hands are wide) - what Fender necks are more comfortable, and easier to play? V-neck or C-neck? And what fingerboard radius works best - 7.25", 9.5" or 12" ? thnx!

Need help figuring out tuning and tabs for the song 'Monkey 23' by 'The Kills'. It's not a very well known song, at least I don't think so. I've searched and searched but have not been able to find a guitar tab for it. It seems to be in a non standard open tuning. Tried to figure it out with my...

btw... Gtrheaven.com still selling Seymour Duncan pickups for %50 off retail... not listed on their site but when you contact them, they will give you that deal if you buy 2 or more pickups... I was going to buy another pair (AIIP's), but I have 59's already sitting at home that I've decided to...
