I'm sure this has been done to death, but - What's the SD equivalent of a DM Super Distortion? I'm assuming it's the Distortion, but just thought I'd check to make sure. I thought it might be the JB. Thanks.

I know, there are about as many opinions about this as there are people, but let me hear yours. There's almost nothing I hate associated with the guitar EXCEPT putting new strings on. I put off fretboard cleaning and even swapping pickups all because I HATE changing strings so much. So let me...

Which direction are the saddles in a TOM bridge supposed to go, with the slope pointing toward the neck, or the tailpiece?

Dumb question, but what do you guys use to polish guitar chrome hardware - pickups, tuners, etc. ? I'm getting ready to put a guitar back together, and I want to clean up the parts first. Thanks

And no, I don't mean Allen Woody, though that might not be too far off. What are your recommendations for a 'woody' sounding P bass pickup? Any and all brands entertained. And I hope this is the right forum, as opposed to the pickup forum. If not, just let me know.

Do they make any? Are there any good ones? I'm just wondering if you've got an amp-in-a-box that doesn't have a cab sim, are there any cab sim only pedals you could run after it? And I don't mean cab sim software, I mean in pedal form. I know, it doesn't really make much sense, just buy one...

I bought a generic aftermarket pickup ring set from GC for an Epi SG that was missing a ring. Turns out that the adjustment screws are a different size than the stock Epi pickups require. I'm assuming that the aftermarkets are compatible with Gibsons. Anyone know how I can get screws that...

Hopefully Brentrocks doesn't mind me borrowing his image. What's the purpose of the reverse wraparound on the tailpiece? I've seen this done lots of times, but I don't know why. It seems to me, this would decrease the angle to the bridge which would result in weaker string contact and less...

I may have asked this before, but I have ADD so give me a break. How do you clean gold hardware without taking the gold finish off? I know, buy solid gold hardware. But in the absence of that possibility...

I have two. One I bought used, and one I bought brand-new. The lid hinges have bent on both. Randall says they don't do replacement parts for that, so I'll have to put some on from a hardware store. Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this, and if so, what they did about it.

adjustment screw they'd like to send me? Pretty please? I'm having a hard time finding one. The Proline kit I bought doesn't fit the Epi. I'm sure this is the wrong place for this, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

Why don't I look like Magic Mike when I do it? But seriously folks. How does one remove tung oil from a body?

Does that sound like a good pairing? I'm blues/blues rock/southern rock.

I guess I'm looking for model 102, preferably chrome (might go nickel). Let me know what you've got.

Anyone know if they are interchangeable? I just mean within the same family, not Gibby/Epi vs Fender/Squier. Or is there a difference between American vs import or even different depending on the import country?
