Hi, I recently got rid of my Fender Stage 160 because I need something more portable and not so loud for my school's Jazz combo. Also, the thing just sounded bad. All I could ever hear is the amp and not the guitar, if that makes any sense. I'm on a super tight budget so I figure a Cube would be...

There's a full hollow archtop New York Pro guitar at the local guitar/pawn shop for $250. It's cherry burst, gold hardware, with mahogany back and sides, I think? The top wood was pretty figured but I have no idea what it was. Anyway, I was planning on dumping some junk gear there for some...

The flatwounds on my Epi LP Std. have been pulling away from the fretboard and it's starting to look like a slide set up. It's from about the 6th fret on up where the action has gotten really high. From there on down, it's pretty okay though. Anyway, I've never learned how to do my own...

I'll hopefully be picking up an Ibanez AG95 hollowbody with a bubinga top in couple of months to go into a jazz/blues performance program with. However, I've never even heard of bubinga before and have no idea what tonal qualities the wood may produce. Is bubinga warmer than maple, I hope? Thanks!

Which low to medium output seymour duncan neck humbucker would be the closest to the Super 58 in Pat Metheny's signature Ibanez? Thanks!

First of all, Epi Standard LP with a Seth Lover in the neck. What can I do to make the tone knob for the Seth roll off sooner and have greater responsiveness? I hope this is the right forum. Thanks

and most important to me, WARMer? The Seth Lover neck or the Alnico II Pro neck. Thanks p.s. I like warm syrup on my neck humbucker.:D OOPS!! And not really fatter, I meant thicker.

First of all, It's a 2003 Epi LP with a Seth Lover in the neck. I have a set of Ernie Ball pure nickel .011's on it. I have a sick obsession with trying to get the warmest, darkest tone ever, so I'm thinking about putting a set of D'addario flatwounds on it. They're .011 gauge strings, but the...

...not work with a solid body? Like, at all? I've taken my Epi LP to the shop 3-4 times now so the tech can try to get my SH55N to have that ultra warm, rounded out, oooooing, airy smooth tone I hear in the soundclips, youtube, recordings. I just keep getting a ludicrously prickly, shrill, tinny...

Please, tell me how they are. I don't know what model it is, but there's a 335 looking thing at the local shop for good money and I'm very interested in it. I'll be back in there to play it in a couple days. note: I thought the body looked a little (too) thin. Thanks

Who would like to upload this stranger some clips of some jazz or groovy/bluesy fusion with their favorite guitar and rig with a Seth Lover in the neck? If you have an Epiphone Standard Les Paul with a Seth in the neck that would be even better (what I dabble on). I'd love to hear other...

Not that I have the money right now, but thinking about it makes me happy. One of my favorite jazzers, Larry Coryell, plays a Cort. I don't know how large the Cort Yorktown is though. I'd like one that's a little smaller than the traditionally huge box if possible; something like or close to...

I bought a thing of 1k-ohm resistors for the output and a thing of 10k-ohm resistors for the trim pot bias. Trouble is, I can't find the website I was going by and I have no idea exactly which ones I'm supposed to remove and replace on the circuit board for the ouput and trim. I tried to follow...

I just wanted to give a tip off on this for those who may not have seen this. I know I'm excited about it. I want a tube amp and I don't have any money, so I was considering one of those 5w jobbies. But, I know it'd have to be cranked to 11 to keep up in a band setting with absolutely no...

Or is it something you have to naturally have? I can bang out chords and scales okay. I can even do vibrato and bends. Whoo. But when it comes to feel and say, phrasing out a chord in a bluesy or jazzy manner and giving it voice and identity, I cannot. I want to be able to "extend" chords out...
