I saw Charming Liars and Dorothy last night. Lots of teles in both acts, and a couple of strats for that matter. Dorothy is pretty hard rock so I was surprised, I expected more humbuckers. Great concert though. Unfortunately as much as I like Dorothy the crowd was ancient, like as in my...

Re: Post your Stratocasters

Re: Let's see some telecasters( telecasters only) Japanese neck. I fell in love with the body and ordered it from some place in Italy.

I've never really gotten in to 50s rock, I thought I knew what it was about but I never found it very interesting. Tonight I started listening to Eddie Cochran, holy crap he was amazing for the era. I had no idea. I'm familiar with Perkins, Presley, Link Wray, and Orbison but now I'm...

I saw today that EVH has 3 new guitar models to commemorate the 40th anniversary of their debut album. https://www.guitarworld.com/gear/evh-unveils-three-new-eruption-tribute-models 1978, I was 11 at the time and it was a pretty big deal. This got me wondering though, other than all the...

I just ordered a Laney Cub 10, and popular consensus is change the tubes and speaker. I've already got some Ken Rads and GEs to try in it. Not sure about speaker, Jensen Mod10-70 sounds popular but given the amps reputation for being dark maybe an Eminence 1058? I'm hoping for more of a...

Re: Who Has A Cool "Explorer" W/ Duncans Not sure what the criteria is on cool or not. Jazz in the neck and JB in the bridge.

Any advice on shipping guitars as far as carriers and size restrictions in the U.S.? I've got a few too many and local Craigslist isn't cutting it.

Re: Hideous or has character This is how it ended up. Sooo many mistakes, the most noticeable being the faux binding isn't uniform thickness. I also had to sand a lot of maple down because of water damage and it's a bit wavy in one place when you run you hand over it. I have a pickguard with...

Really loving some of the stuff these guys are doing. 21 year old kid playing a 61 Les Paul (SG) - Right on! 18 year old bass player first in clip, then 21 year old brother at 17:36. Twin brother of the guitarist is the singer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWDf_CEkpoU

I'm putting together a LP Studio and I just discovered the Jazz I had slated for the neck is really a bridge pickup based on the pole positions. That's going to be too much for the original Dimarzio DP103 PAF I have for the bridge. I'm looking for a nice vintage tone. Any suggestions for the...

Just pulled a SD Jazz and put in the EVH Wolfgang neck in my Firebird Zero. Wow that thing has some balls. Throws the SD CC in the bridge under the bus. Just sounds richer with more punch.

A while back I replaced a ceramic magnet with A2. The A2 was half the thickness of the ceramic. In those cases should you run 2 A2 magnets, or just replace the ceramic with the thinner A2? In the case where I made the change it was in a guitar that I was giving away as a gift and I ended up...

I have an old Dimarzio 2 wire (black and white, pretty heavy gauge) humbucker that measures 8.64 ohms. Someone has painted it beige so you'll see some of the residual in the pictures. I compared it to an original DP103 which I thought was fairly old and the DP103 was 4 wire, 7.95 ohms, and...
