Hello dear forum users. I would like to get some advice from guitar wiring “experts” out there, because I want to do the following on my Stratocaster: Wire a Series/Parallel 2DPT On/Off that allows me to switch between Parallel or Series in Positions 2 and 4. Also, I want a single Master...

Hello. I have a custom string set on my guitar in which the wound strings balance perfectly and are all d'addarios. However in the 3 plain strings, 1 is D'addarios, 2 Dunlops, and are all the same gauge type (10-14-18) The plain strings overall are a bit too hard to bend but i tried a lower...

This is kind of a dual theme thread about two guitars and two pickup combinations. GUITAR A: I have a Epiphone Les Paul Standard Plus (removed the neck finish - now a bright guitar) in which i have the SD JB4 / Jazz combo but i find the jazz pickup too bright and could use a bit more output. Is...

Hello dear forum users. I've read online the opinions of some people, in which they consider that Elixir strings have more tension than uncoated strings at a given gauge. For the sake of comparison, i'm used to D'addario nickel wound strings (non coated). Do they really have more tension than...

Hey guys I want to install a pre amp booster on my guitar. I want to boost my JB4 with more punch, gain, and clarity for reaaaly metal tones. My type of sound goes more into Testament / Machine Head territory. Thought about a EMG afterburner since i like EMG pickups sound but its quite...

Hey :) I got an epiphone les paul standard with a jb4 (good guitar and a good pickup), and the other guitarrist in the band uses a jackson js32 kelly, a pretty bright guitar. He's not really a gear freak like me, so thats why i'm posting on his behalf. Would a Les Paul with a jb4 mix well...

Hey guys. I got a new guitar, a jackson js30 KV, and i'm going to soon change the bridge pickup. I play Groove/Thrash metal in a band, and i am currently using my epiphone les paul standard with a JB4 on the bridge, and i love it, it cuts in the mix so well and the sound is thick. However...
