    Fat sounding P-90s

    I was playing a SG with P-90s at guitar center, and I loved the tone. (http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gibson-SG-Classic-Electric-Guitar-with-P-90-Pickups-101393338-i1149174.gc). I was wondering if there was some fat sounding P-90s that could get the same tone out of a maple neck, alder body strat.

    How hard is it to paint over a nitro finish?

    I was just wondering because my friend has a nitro finish guitar he wants to spray over with white (right now its 3 tone sunburst). Is there any spray-on finish I can buy to spray over, or would I have to sand the guitar first? Also, if they do have the spray-on stuff, where could I get it?

    p-90 Stack

    Can anyone tell me what this would sound like in the middle position and neck in a strat guitar (maple neck, alder body, 25.5 scale, bolt-on neck) Thanks Forgot to add that they're going to be the neck model.

    Air Zone, SDS-1, Heavy Blues 2

    How good would an air zone in the bridge, SDS-1 in the middle, and a heavy blues 2 in the neck sound in a strat (maple neck, floyd rose, alder body) Switching would be neck, middle and reverse neck coil, middle, middle and reverse coil bridge, bridge. Pots would be a neck/middle 500k volume (or...

    I know this has been asked before...

    But can you retrofit an OFR into a fender strat w/o modifications. I don't need a recess on the FR (so i can put on a drop-D tuna). I know I would need a locking nut, but I'm just going to buy a warmoth neck. Could I just go out and buy an OFR right now and put it in a strat? Everytime I read...

    Amp randomly clicking

    I was at GC the other day and I was playing one of those (new?) Fender Super-Sonic amps (http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-SuperSonic-112-Guitar-Combo-Amp?sku=480874#new). I was playing this amp in the store, really liking the tone of the whole thing, when out of no where, the...

    Fat sounding bridge with a BluesBucker

    I looking for a fat sounding bridge p/u to match well with the neck. I was thinking of an Air Zone... Would that be a good match? If not, what would be a good bridge p/u? I figured if I'm getting some triple shots installed, I should get some new pickups too, because the stock p/u aren't the...

    250K, 500K, 1 Meg.

    What exactly do these do to the sound of the pickups. I'm talking about using for both volume and tone. I know the whole thing about single coils usually use 250K and humbuckers 500K, but I also know you can switch them around. Just looking for a quick lesson about what the different levels do...

    3 Pickup faded Gibson SGs and Vs?

    I remember around maybe a year ago, Musiciansfriend.com was offering some 3 pickup faded white or faded black SGs and Vs, but now I can't find any information on them. (I remember they were cheap too, like maybe around 900-1000) Does anyone have any information on them?

    Let's see some white strats with non-white pickguards

    I don't care what color they are, as long as it's not white! I'm trying to get some ideas and see what looks the best!

    Could this work?

    Let's say you have a HSH stratocaster, could you have the guitar wired so the bridge pickup is going to a volume knob, with a push-pull killswitch, which goes straight to the input. Also, a triple shot mount wouldn't hurt! The other two pickups are wired to a 5-way switch (null, middle, middle...

    Slanted v. Regular Humbuckers

    Which do you think sound better? Is the slanting of the pickup going make the lower strings louder than the higher strings? Will coil tapping make the guitar emulate a stratocaster sound better if the pickup is slanted like a stratocaster? Please feel free to answer these questions. Even post...

    Airbuckers

    I'm thinking about buying a used guitar that has and Air Zone in the bridge and an Air Norton in the neck, both covered. I know this is a Seymour Duncan forum, but I prefer the sound of Seymour Duncans. Basically I was wondering if the pickups that are in the guitar are what I'm looking for, or...

    Does a pickup cover change the sound?

    I was wondering if they do, because I really like the look of covered pickups, but if it hinders the pickups sound, I would rather have them uncovered. I've always wondered this, and today would be a good day to find out :D

    I just bought a used hamer guitar...

    http://hamerguitars.com/?fa=detail&mid=400 (It's an older model, because the pickups are covered, not like in the picture) ...and the pickups say they are Duncan designed. I was wondering if any could tell me what pickups are most like the ones installed in the guitar. The bridge pickup is...
