I was originally going to go a Hot Rod 59 style Tele but ran across an Aussie guy that winds Strat and Tele pickups. So I thought rather than send my $ overseas as is usually the case I would try a set. I have not heard his Tele pickups before but his Strat pickups sound amazing. This is what...

G'day, I've just started a Tele build. Going to be a Fender 52' Hot Rod feel. So, I've decided to go with with an Antiquity II Firebird neck pickup but am having trouble choosing a bridge. This is going to be a blues, rock to hard rock axe. My main concern is that I believe I need to use an...

Wolfe got back to me yesterday. I'm chasing two sets for both my Lesters. I wanted something versatile that can go from blues to hardrock/metal in my 01 Standard and pretty much the same in my 08 Traditional but with more of an old school vibe to it. More classic rock to hard rock. Wolfe...

Taking out the 57 Classic and Classic plus from my 08 Les Paul Traditional. WCR pickups seem to be very highly regarded. This set interests me greatly as it seems to have the ability to be very versatile which is what I want. Beautiful PAF tones out of the neck and plenty of punch and growl...

Now I'm a lazy bastard and already posted a quick little review on the Les Paul forum. I aint doin it again:angryfire So, for anyone that's interested here's the link. http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/gibson-les-pauls/42559-my-08-les-paul-traditional-gold-top-has-arrived.html

Putting in a set of WB firewaters in my new Traditional. Also upgrading electronics. At this stage getting modern pots as I like my pots firm, .022 PIO caps and bleed kit. Getting them wired by a bloke names Jonesy in the States. Here is one of hit harnesses. This one however has a .015 PIO...

I'm a pretty happy lad at the moment. Purchased a new Gold Top on the weekend. Havn't got it yet though, should be here by the end of the week. Weighs in at a nice 10.2lb. What yas think. :naughty:

First of all I am yet to receive the matching cab with 2 Celetions Heritage G12H speakers. I plugged the head into my Laney Celestion Vintage 30 loaded 4x12. The Clean channel. Beautiful, Clear full and expressive. Plenty of head room depending on what you are putting through the front of the...

I'm taking out the Custom 5 and 59 in my Les Paul and replacing them with a set of WB firewaters. I really like the Duncans so thought I would chuck them in my black strat. I just want your opinion on pots and caps. I was thinking a 250k volume for the SH-14, a 500k volume for the 59 and a...

Can't wait to get her. Class A, 4 EL84 powers overloading into beautiful power tube overdrive. Love. Link http://www.laney.co.uk/show_prod.php?prod=L20H Pics Now I can't afford to get a cab as yet. Need to save a few more dollars. So, for the moment I'm just going to plug it into my Laney...

These look just beautiful. I will hopefully get them in my 08 OLY American Standard tonight. All I need now is to find myself a resonably priced Fender Hot Rod Deville 212 to plug her into and hopefully I'll be in Strat tone heaven. What ya's think.

I really like the standard 59 and Custom 5 I have in my Lester. I was just wondering if you could order these two from the custom shop? Just thought that custom shop pu's may just add the little extra something special that these seem to be missing. What ya's think? Oh, I took a couple of new...

Well I was going to keep the Custom shop 69's in my Oly Strat but when I was looking for a new bridge pickup yesterday I came across these. http://www.curtisnovak.com/pickups/str-v_drop.shtml These look fantastic, can't wait to get them. Now I'm not getting rid of the CS69's I'm going to put...

Well after quite a bit of thought I have decided to keep the Fender Custom Shop 69's in my Oly White American Strat and just replace the Dimarzio Super Distortion bridge humbucker with a proper single coil. I was going to use the Seymour Duncan Texas hot cust bridge. Would this be a good...

When I first got my Laney I had a lot of trouble getting the tone out of it that I wanted. I was actually gutted to begin with because to me it just sounded like crap. I just thought I would post a few things that I did which has made me just love this amp. Firstly IMO the stock tubes are...
