New project is REO Gary Richrath. Roll with the changes opens with pentatonic major box first position 17th fret. My SG has a SH-11 in the bridge, and the first double stop bend fizzles out fast. Play the same riff octave lower, no problem. I'm wondering if I need a JB SH-4, Screamin' Demon, or...

I have a 2012 Angus signature SG, it is a very light thin guitar, including a thin narrow neck that most people hate but I love. Anyway, this guitar has a lot of "snap", which is the opposite of the sustain my LP has. Now I need to cover some Gary Richrath (RIP), and he had a double cut LP -...

Players, I'm looking for that magic moment of melodic feedback, which I always struggle finding. And I'm not talking about the squeal of unpotted pickups, I want a note related to the one I'm playing. For gigging I use the H&K GM36 and the HD500X as midi controller and input effects like wah...

Y'all, I have a P-rails in the bridge of a Strat (alder body, maple neck, ebony fret board), and the P90 really isn't that useful in a Strat. So I generally just use is it as a series HB, or split to the "rail". I was wondering - just configured as a series HB how the P-rails sounds compared...

Re: FREE set of Duncan pickups of your choice. On me. Merry Christmas. I'm 52, and I've got tendinitis, arthritis, and trigger finger, and 6 months ago I just landed a spot in a killer gigging Allman Brothers tribute band. I needed an SG, but one with a thin narrow neck like the early 70s...

Hi, I've been a Strat guy for decades, usually configed as HSS. I always tap the H for use with the other pickups, for quack, etc. Now I have a SG-like HH guitar, with a 3 position switch. With the current cheap stock pickups, the middle position sounds okay and I use it live. I'm buying an...

Hi, I've been a Strat guy for decades, but I'm now into a new realm - SG style guitars. I bought an Daisy Rock SG clone, sycamore body, mahogany set neck and rosewood fretboard. When around large PAs with the stock pickups (PAF looking HBs), I get squeal, so time for potted pickups. The stock...

Are the Pearly Gates (SH-PG1) wax potted? Also, I'm a strat guy now with a SG like guitar - how do I set the pickup height on humbuckers on this guitar? Thanks, -Bob

Hi, I'm new to the wonders of electric guitar mods. So I bought a p-rails to put into the bridge position of my partscaster. The p90 has what may be termed "slotted poles", is that the correct term? These look like they are user adjustable, is that true? If they are adjustable, to what end...

Y'all, I installed a STK-S2 in the bridge position of my '76 strat about 4 years ago. I noticed recently that if I strum real hard right over the top of pickup, I get very noticeable break up. I'm connecting directly into a clean Vox practice amp, and curiously cable type seems to make a...
