Hello everyone, Lately i've been updating some of my guitars that sounded "good enough but not quite what i want". My superstrat (EsP George Lynch) only has one bridge humbucker. It's heavy as hell and tuned to drop C# with 11-52 strings. Currently it has a Lace Dually Red/Silver. Great...

Re: Replacing a shrill Wylde L500-L Yes that's the one, Yellow Hearts. Bought in in 2003. Won't sell it ever at least not at a reasonable price. I receive emails from people who want to buy it from me on a regular basis though. As to drilling an extra hole... Well that's not the kind of...

Hi everyone, For ten Years now i have been using a Bill Lawrence L500-L. I was very attached to it because it talked with Bill Lawrence directly before buying it. But recently i have come to the realisation that it's not really what i want. Maybe my tastes have changed, but i now find it very...

Hi everyone, I haven't been active for almost 8 years now and the reason is simple: i reached a spot where i was so satisfied with my gear that i just stopped buying stuff. Simply put new gear i was trying simply wasn't sounding better than the one i already owned. I did try a couple of very...

Hi everyone, my father recently reminded me of the LT EX100 i forgot at his place about 10 years ago. It's a fairly good guitar, has agatis body which is kind of like mahogany but less bright, darker. So the bridge pickup needs to avoid mudiness and add clarity. The guitar will be dedicated to...

Hey everyone, so most of us here are really obsessed with tone and have been spending unreasonable amounts of money on gear only to sell it a few months later. I was such a person. But then something magical happened. I found everything i wanted and don't feel compelled to buy new stuff...

For the last ten years i've been playing on my KOCH studiotone, which as you may know is a reallly, really good amp. I bought it becaquse i wanted to play at home AND reahearse, but it turns out 20W is LOUD and my neighbours didn't like it, and it sucks a lower volumes. A few years ago the amp...

Hi everyone. A few years back i started this crazy idea of putting together a copy of george lynch's original tiger guitar (no floyd rose, strat neck and headstock). I ended up getting a pretty good replica, and also the best guitar i have ever played for heavy music. A little bit of tiger...

Re: Pure 62 Strat Tone ? This topic is getting really interesting. I actually have no idea what a real vintage 62 strat is supposed to sound like, and as lewd guitar mentioned the squier japan isnt really going to sound the same. But the reason i mentioned pure 62 is because i want this strat...

Hi everyone, i've been experimenting a lot with my strats lately... So i wanted to try noiseless but wasn't convinced by the single coil sized mini humbuckers. I then tried the Lace Holy Grails and there was something missing. I felt it wasn't really a strat anymore. I own many other guitars...

Hi everyone, on a Fender Highway 1 strat i've decided to put a Lace sensor Red in the bridge solely for the purpose of getting this early Smashing Pumpkins sound i love so much. But other than the heavy FUZZ, i don't care much about Lace pickups. They sound really sterile with clean sounds. I...

Hi everyone, i own a great 1985 japanese squier stratocater. The guitar sounds fatter and more balanced than my classic 50´s which is my best guitar and on the bright side. The other guitar having the classic strat tone nailed to perfection, i was thinking about turning this one into a...

I don't Get it. Th LP is supposed to be a warm guitar isn't it ? So i bought one of these EDWARDS MIJ LP's, Mahogany body and neck, Rosewood board and 5mm Mple Top. It's too bright. SOunds hard and clinky, doesn't have this velvet sound. Pickups are a 59 and JB. the 59 is ok, and by the way...

Just to tell you something. One year ago i bought a Evo2 / EVo combinaion and it was killer. At least that's what i thought. Since then i've been claiming here that the EVO2 was one of thebest DIMarzio's. Since then i discovered the SH12 and Super V. So lately i had a guitar on order and...

I own an alder body / maple fretboard superstrat type guitar. It's very trebly, more than my Ash telecaster. I wanted Dimarzio Evo2 pickups, but the bridge is too birght and colmpressed and ends up souding THIN, especially when i want to play heavy riffs. It's not icepicky or trebly but...
