I'm back from a few months without posting here, but you haven't missed me I guess. Whatever, now I've got enough money to change my pickups so I thought I might as well do so right now. For the record : the guitar is a ESP SV standard. Alder body, maple neck through body, ebony fingerboard...

The new TC Electronic pedals look interesting IMO. I was wondering if anyone had tried them. Are they good effects, and cost effective ? Is the Toneprint thing a feature worth exploiting ?

I was just thinking, besides the many people using a JB-Jazz combination, there are others who try out some crazy stuff that turns out to kick ass. So, if you have any wicked pickup configurations, just post and describe them (styles you play, sound it makes). You know, for the people "I git...

I feel like this will soon appear in the fetish thread but here goes anyway... Most guitarists out there have gotten used to flaming Gibson for everything they do. You know, the "nowadays, they're not even close to be as good as they were before". Right, might be true, might be wrong...

I'm very fond of Charvel So Cal models, but as far as I know, they all have dual humbuckers. I wanted to know if there are some HSS So Cal models out there, or if the problem can be solved by installing an appropriate pickguard. Would the appropriate holes in the body already be routed or would...

Here goes the problem : I'm setting up both of my guitars to work out a few complete albums, one guitar is already tuned to D standard with Elixir 10-52 strings. The other one will be tuned to C# standard and I want a similar tension. Both guitars have a 25,5 inch scale and a Floyd Rose bridge...

The "most popular" SD neck humbuckers seem to be the '59 and the Jazz. The sound samples from the website only give their sound in full humbucker mode. Could anyone tell me, when you split these two (neck position), what they sound like ? Or rather, which single coils sound close to these...

I have two very similar guitars : my good ol' ESP SV Standard, and my last purchase, a Jackson Stars RR J2SP (haven't posted the NGD thread yet, I'm too lazy to take pictures...) Both guitars have an alder body, maple neck, ebony fingerboard, offset V shape, Floyd Rose tremolo, neck-through...

So, it seems I'm up next. Before you ask any questions, I just want to say a few things : 1) First of all, thanks to Dr. K. for picking me amongst all the worthy candidates :thanks: 2) Let me remind you that I'm not from USA, so if you ask me any questions related to typical Amercian...

I'd be interested in putting it into the bridge of one of my upcoming guitars (I already know I want no EMG 81). Alder body, maple neck, ebony fingerboard, floyd rose bridge. I already know it's good for distorted metal tones, but... how does it sound, when split, on a clean setting (remember...

I was wondering if the solid state amp would "take away" the tube sound from a pedal like the SD Twin Tube Mayhem. Anyone knows ?

The website sais that it will work with passive pickups. ANY passives or does it require something special, like 4 conductor wiring or something ?

This is something I start wondering about... what do you think about binding ? IMO it looks cool, yeah, but I don't know what it's good for except the visual thing. I've seen binding mostly on quality guitars, never on entry-level ones, but I've also seen high-q guitars without binding (like...

I was wondering... many people come to Seymour Duncan by replacing their EMGs with passives, or by upgrading to Blackout actives. So... What would you say are the "equivalents" (the most common replacements, or the closest sounding Duncans) to the 81, 85 and 60, bridge and/or neck ?

I know there a few people on the forum who like to build their own guitars from parts they take everywhere. While I probably wouldn't/couldn't do it myself, I think it's a rather nice idea, and I'd like to see what goes on in your wicked minds. So post them here ! (Warmoths included)
