Hello all--I have a Marshall 1960a (Lead) in a custom built Justin Case Road Case I would like to sell or trade for a nice Marshall style 2x12 with green-backs in it. Its in good condition, with only a few nicks here and there. Its got the 75 watt speakers in it and I have the casters for the...

Hey everyone- Im hoping this is the right space for this-please let me know if there is a better place for it. I wanted to do a review after having a couple weeks of good honest comparison time with my stock Gibson Les Paul Special Double Cut (P90's) and my SG Special that I converted to Soap...

I’ve got a question for everyone out there-just because I like to know how things work. In order for a hum-canceling pickup to work you have to have reverse wound, reverse polarity right? On a humbucker this is possible because there is one magnet between the poles which causes the magnet to...

Ok--so Ive been looking for a certain sound out of my Telecaster and no matter which pickup I put in it, it never got the tone i was looking for. I talked to Zhangliquin(BTW-I cant say enough good things about Zhang.....) about having him make me a Paul Bunyan Pickup for it, and the more we...

Has anyone out there ever tried the GFS Dream 90 or Mean 90's? The Humbucker sized P90's they make. How did they sound in comparison to a Gibson P90? Authentic enough? For the price it seems they are worth trying, but Its still nice to get some forum input first-Thanks in advance for any...

So I know that magnet material and amount of magnetic material can make a difference in the clarity/output/mids and lows. For instance a P90 has 2 magnets on the botom plate which increases the mids and gives it a more honky character, Has anyone ever added a par magnet to the bottom of their...

Anyone out there have any expirience with the Quarter Pounder model for Tele? What Im finding is that its really a pretty dark sounding pickup and I was hoping to get a little more of a bright edge in the top end so Ive been contemplating taking some turns of wire off of it. Im thinking the...

Ive got 2 virtually new Vox Wharfdale speakers I removed from my AC30CC in order to put the current blues in it. They are rated @ 30 watts each and are 8 ohm. I will let them go for $50 + shipping. Tonally they are good sounding speakers but I dont have a use for them now that I have the...

Hey guys--Im getting this static crackling in the pick guard of me tele and my SG whenever I rub my fingers accross the plastic. Ive read some stuff about sheilding the under side of the guard with copper and then grounding that to the one of the pots, and Ive even heard people say to ground...

On the Gibson P90 (non-dog ear) pickups they sometimes call surface-mount, how do they mount to the guitar? And, is there any height adjustment on them? Ive looked @ a few pictures and it looks like for the most part there are flat on the bottom with no eyelets for mounting screws or...

One other question I have: The DC Resistance of a pickup is as of a result of the number of turns of wire used on a particular pickup model (I understand) correct? When this DC resistance is measured is it measured with the magnet used in place and the pole pieces/slugs installed in the...

In reference to the STK-T2b (Hot Stack for Tele): In the description on the website it describes the magnet as a ceramic bar but in the tone chart it lists the pick-up as having an Alnico 5 bar. Which magnet is it? Also, im really trying to figure out what im looking for in a tele bridge...

Has anyone out there ever tried the Alnico II Pro's for tele out there? I just bought a Lite Ash Tele on Ebay and I understand they come stock with them ;-). Can anyone give me their expiriences with them? How do they compare to a stock Fender tele pickup (bridge/neck)? Thanks for any help!
