Is the camera that took the pictures from the same year the guitar was made?

Give me a SLO100 instead.

Stereo reply. I get it. Nice.

I put a PATB-1 in the bridge of my HSS Strat, and its versatility is amazing. If you’ve never tried a parallel axis pickup, you have to give it a shot.

CoC riffs all day. Come on now, Bob!

This is a perfect pickup acquisition. You're being forced to test it with your ears.

I need two volumes and two tones on an LP so I can switch from clean to mean just using the pickup selector. And for that? I'm out.

My 2021 Fender Player Strat. I started out on a Strat then discovered I love the Les Paul, but I'm trying to play the guitars I have. Putting a PATB-1 in the bridge gave it so much tonal versatility that it deserves more attention.

My daughter's orthodontist's office is basically a rock studio with dental chairs in it, and he loves talking gear, so when I went in there to take her to her appointment yesterday, he mentioned that he had crackling and a bit of a volume swell when he engaged the effects loop of one of his...

I have a Fender Player Strat that looks great and plays well, but every time I so much as touch the trem bar, it goes out of tune. What are common causes and solutions? My initial guess is lubricating the nut? What's the best one to use, if that's my first stop?

A couple of weeks ago, my old Hendrix Crybaby decided to stop cooperating. When I’d stomp to engage, it would kill most of the signal, resulting in weak output and an unusable tone. I had always disliked having to push down enough to click the button and to be forced to start with the...

So I’ve been working on each of my guitars recently trying to resolve what minor dislikes I have with each one individually. Today was LP neck pickup day. It’s never been bright enough, even with 500k pots and a humbucker wired in parallel. I thought it had a .047 or .022 cap across the tone...

I have a Fender HSS Player Strat with a 5-way blade. I also have some sort of superswitch that came standard but seemed overly complex for my desires in case that needs to be put back in to make this work. I also pulled out one of the tone pots because I hate the way my palm feels on the...

So I've been getting by with a pair of WGS Green Berets in my 2x12, but I've been trying to keep an ear to the ground for deals on Greenbacks, should they come up. In the past, I've had good luck getting the broken-in Celestions from Avatar Speakers, but it doesn't even look like they're...
