Hi guys, I hope I am able to explain my issue, Here goes: I have a Mesa DC-5 which I really dig. I use the amp distortion as my main crunch and run chorus/phase/delay thru the amp effects loop which sounds great to me. My problem is that I like to play a variety of styles and would like to...

Hey guys Does anyone have experience with a Rio Grande BBQ in the bridge of a HSS Strat and how it sounds? I have an American Deluxe HSS Strat rosewood FB. I like to play classic rock/ and blues. I am looking to get a thicker sound out of the bridge with some highs but not too much. Thanks

Would the SeTh Lover humbucker be too bright to put in the bridge postion of a strat guitar with ebony fingerboard/ vintage trem? I am going for a vintage ( 60's and 70's hard rock/blues) sound. Thanks

Are trembuckers for use with vintage trems or just Floyd's. Also would you need to route your pickguard to fit the trembucker if the humbucker you are replacing was standard. thanks

Is there anyone out there who has tried the Blues Saraceno Trembucker? According to the product description it is supposed to give a fatter sound in the bridge position on trem guitars which is what I have been trying to find. I have been getting some advice for the CC . I am just worried...

Hi everyone, I really like the look of nickel covers. Does anyone know where I could get a cover for a Custum Custum trembucker version. Haven't had any luck so far. I am starting to think that they don't exist :smack: Thanks
