I need a 2x12 cab for live and rehearsing and hope you can advise. My only/main amp at the moment is the Fender Prosonic head (60watts), and my only cab up till now has been the Marshall 1960A 4x12. Ain't playing arenas, as much as I like 4x12s. I play strats, and switch between a lot of clean...

I heard on a video once (I think Phil X) someone say that having a bridge pickup unfettered by any other magnets in the neck or middle gives the purest vibration/signal/other physics term I don't know. I have an empty strat with an HSS pickguard. I got a black winter. Original plan was to put...

So I have this 2002 MIM HSS Standard Strat I've been planning to switch all the pickups out of. I plan to throw a trembucker in there and I'm not too keen on the fact that I'll have to drill for the trembucker mounting. So I'm thinking new pickguard. I have never once replaced a pickguard...

Hey guys - just trying to be sure I'm getting a trembucker for the bridge since I'm ordering online. I'm going for the black winter trembucker bridge and I can't seem to find the manufacturer part number on the SD site. Anyone know it? Is there a pdf or something I'm missing with all the part...

I never thought I'd be so confused finding an HSS pickguard. The single coil days were heady times.. This is what I don't get: Will a black winter trembucker drop straight into a Fender pickguard - the kind that have 2 holes one side, 1 hole the other? Like this...

little by little I've laid out a plan with help from the board. This is what I'm doing: Black Winter in bridge of a very bright hardtail strat with a maple board -500K vol pot -500K no-load cts Tone pot wired to the black winter only (I'm a big fan of the fender no-load tone and want to try...

Hey all. So I have been pondering how I might be able to have single coils/noiseless single coils in the neck and middle, but have a black winter in the bridge of a strat. I know - kind of crazy tonal variance there, but humor me. I have this schematic attached below. My goal with this is to...

I can't remember the last time I came across a guitar I was so intrigued about. http://www.aristidesinstruments.com/page/o6o.html Has anyone played or seen an Aristides in real life? Any impressions would be much appreciated. The single US dealer listed on their site doesn't have a working...

The number of wiring diagrams I've looked at is boggling since I've never soldered anything. This is my end goal: I want to throw a black winter into the bridge of a hardtail strat and have a 2-way toggle to split it. In the neck, I'll likely put a dimarzio area of some sort (guitar is...

I have a SSS hardtail american standard strat with a maple fretboard I am trying to make one of my workhorse guitars for live use. I have found some threads on this issue. I use the bridge position mainly. Amps it will go through are Soldano Lucky 13 and Fender Prosonic. I am strat 'mis-user'...

Hey all. So my situation is a friend loaned me two amps to use on a recording project - a marshall JMP 100w and a Silver Jubilee 2550. I am no tech, so what I don't get is in the unlikely/unfortunate event that a tube goes bad, what would you recommend I have on hand in the way of...

Greetings all. So I've searched and read a lot of threads, watched a lot of videos. Lots of times people are concerned about a high output bridge HB overpowering the other single coils in an HSS strat configuration. I don't really care here, so hope you can help. I need a guitar for layering...

This is a question I've always wanted to ask. Van Halen, early Billie Joe Armstrong's blue strat - these are the two guys who as a young guitarist learning I always wondered - why the slanted humbucker? What are you getting out of doing this? It looks awesome, but how does it differ tonally? I...

I emailed this question to SD directly but didn't get an answer. Kind of a boneheaded question, but I don't want to get this wrong. Basically, I know for sure I want the Antiquity II Surfers as a set of 3 for an american standard strat. I just can't figure out the part numbers for each...
