    Bridge pickup for Fender Toronado

    Hey guys it's been a while hope all is well out there. I'm in need of some suggestions for what to pickup to put in Fender toronado (alder body/24.75" rosewood neck). I thought the original fender atomic bridge pickup was too bright and harsh. I've since tried a Burstbucker 3 (kinda boring in...

    NGD 2004 Fender Toronado Deluxe

    This may very well be my new favorite guitar....EVER! It has all of the features I love in a Gibson, but the playability and comfort of a Strat. Not to mention it's f***ing sick looking. It also came with lockin tuners. The Atomic humbuckers are a bit hotter than I'm used to, but they sound kick...

    MIM Strat Neck with Locking Grovers and Dunlop ZW Wah

    I've got a Rosewood MIM Stratocaster neck serial MZ1057082 that has Grover Locking rotomatics installed on it, and I had refretted with Jumbo frets (nothing extravagant). I bought the neck for a project I never got around to, and I figure someone would get more use out of it than me. Its in good...

    Mesa ElectraDyne Head

    Looking to sell my Mesa Electradyne. I'm not in a band anymore, and it's too loud for my needs. Hate to see it go, but I've got bills to pay. My loss is your gain. 1100 shipped CONUS and Paypal. PM for more Pics, offers, etc. :beerchug:

    Blackstar Ht-50 vs Marshall DSL

    Hey guys it's been a while, but I'm popping in to ask the best and brightest about my next amp purchase. At this point you can pretty much get any of the Blackstar head offerings for about the same price as a Marshall DSL or even JCM 900s. So do you guys think that these Marshalls get bested by...

    Painting a guitar with duplicolor

    Can anyone give me the rundown on how to do this, and approx. how long it takes to fully cure with like spray on poly or something similar? I want to repaint my classic vibe bass. I've heard the finish on those is thick enough to use as a base.

    Help! Strat neck hole alignment..

    So i bought this really nice MIM Strat neck on ebay for a squier build I'm doing. To my surprise the neck holes don't line up, but they're just barely off. I don't know what to do. Should I drill the neck? Should I make the body holes just slightly bigger so the screws will fit (doesn't sound...

    Speakers for a convertible 2x12

    Hey guys, hopefully you guys can help me out this time. I need some help picking speakers for a 2x12 I'm gonna order from Whitebox. They mostly offer eminence, but they can install some v30s if I want too. I've heard there cabs are a bit big sounding and bassy enough to balance out the icepick...

    Gigbag vs. Case

    Just for fun. Which do you guys prefer, and why? I personally prefer a nice gigbag because they're much easier to carry from place to place, and they weigh a lot less. I don't need any other worldly protection for my guitars though because I don't gig that often, and when I do it's only a car...

    Avatar Contemporary 2x12s. Who's got one?

    Jet City 2x12 vs Other 2x12

    So, I purchased a barely used Jet city 2x12 cab from MF a couple weeks ago, and it sounds pretty good with my V32 palomino. But, it turns out I have a refund from the university coming through pretty soon and I'm still within the return period of MF, so I was wondering how much better some of...

    NAD: First tube amp

    It is a Crate Palomino V32. I totally got it last week, but only just now got everything in working order and put new tubes in. Let me tell you, this thing sounds pretty great regardless of how much I paid. I walked out the door with it for $270. For those of you that don't know this amp is a...

    14th Fret G and B fretout

    On the 14th fret on my Jagmaster the G and B strings fret out on the 14th fret. I find it strange because it's a 9.5" radius. It also happens on the Low E string, and it only happens at that fret. I get buzzing other places, but they aren't completely dead notes. What's wrong here? It looks to...

    Any of you guys use them or try them? How do they compare to Dunlop tortex or even gator grips?

    Why do people on other forums dislike the HRDx

    I can't seem to figure out why. Outside of this forum, most people, really dislike the Fender HRDx. They sound fine to me, and I've heard reliability is much better than average. Also, they can be had for pretty cheap. Why they hatin then?
