Hi All, I have a backup guitar, a Hagstrom Super Swede, with me at university and I just had a bit of a mishap. 1) I ****ed up and left my guitar face-up on the carpet 2) I left a folding chair nearby leaning on a wall As I was waking up, I nudged the chair somehow and it fell onto the...

I haven't posted in a while. I got an Orange Tiny Terror head a few months ago as a gift, and today I finally got around to getting a decent cab: Bogner Shiva-style 1x12 with Celestion Classic 80 speaker. Clips are coming soon. Very soon. Les Paul, a single 'bucker strat with 1 volume control...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEWXYc46f8E I always wondered where this classic Beck tune came from; really helps to hear the lyrics that were intended over that sweet, sweet melody. For anyone interested, the song is originally a Stevie Wonder tune, from the album, "Stevie Wonder presents...

Got a new guitar (clone of a classic) a few days ago, but I won't ruin your guessing fun. On a side note, I really like how the Barber DD gives usable tones when recording without too much fuss. I just ran it through the Bel Air's clean channel, and I was fiddling with some knobs on the pedal...

I have a quick question regarding wiring... I have a Strat all shield-taped up and ready to go, and a humbucker with four conductor wires. I'd just like to know how to wire up a simple 1-humbucker superstrat, with the humbucker having a tone (with cap) and volume, no switching. The pots are...

What kind of wire should I be using? Is there is a specific gauge or composition that I should be using in the cavity of my Strat? Please recommend the type you guys have had success with before.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=l7YAYQxmLh0 I was going through an old G1 magazine, and I found a transcription of "Breezin". I'd heard his name before, but I'm really glad I sat down and listened to him. I LOVE this guy's phrasing--he's got just the right mix of jazzy phrasing and blues...

See.. the thing is I was just given some money by my dear old auntie. Apparently, I'm supposed to enjoy myself. These stood out. http://cgi.ebay.com/Edwards-ESP-LP-Super-Flame-HONEY-DUNCAN-PU-S-Brand-NEW_W0QQitemZ120189740794QQihZ002QQcategoryZ33038QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem...

Anyone else really like these guitars? I played both at a guitar store yesterday and they sounded great, and I like their new design. A lot of the new Gibsons aren't so great, but I like the these new Vegas guitar designs and the sounds they make. They're semi-hollow and they have their own...

Hey, as long as you let the chlorine evaporate out of it first, is it alright to use tap water in a Planet Waves humidifier? I have one like the top item on this page: http://www.planetwaves.com/pcaredetails.aspx?ID=2.

http://www.warmoth.com/hardware/parts/parts.cfm?fuseaction=include_wiring Is this the stuff I would use for wires when re-soldering the guts of my strat? Are there other alternatives, or can you guys recommend a place to get appropriate wiring.

Hey, I just got a Barber Direct Drive, after many issues and qualms with a distributor here in Canada--I waited nearly two months for the thing to show up after sending payment. However, the pedal has not disappointed. This is just an initial review, and I will definitely add more as I get a...

I recently bought a Dimarzio Cruiser Neck and a Virtual PAF Bridge (f-spaced). I'm installing them in an HSS strat, and I plan to leave the middle empty (hollow). I have some 500K pots and a few 0.22 caps and I am using a 5-way Strat switch. I want: 1)cruiser neck on [alone] 2)Virtual PAF...

Hey, I'm looking into a small amp for a dorm room, and I was looking at the Vox DA5 as I've had success with my ToneLab. I was just wondering - does the Vox DA5 have a tube in the power amp like the TL and the older valvetronix amps?
