OK so after much deliberation I have decided to go with the PATB-3 Blues Saraceno in the bridge and the parallel axis single coil in the neck for a HS guitar for Greg Howe-y type music. I have a schecter sun valley iii and it has no pickguard (rear routed). I'm worried that the parallel axis...

Hey guys I just got this sick japanese 72 reissue strat and I love it to pieces except for the noise. Before I bought the guitar I was going to looking for some high output single coils or less-single coil-y as I have been used to high output humbuckers. I heard that the yjms and the dimarzio...

Hey guys I'm thinking of buying the edge strat. Not an edge fan at all but a massive Yngwie fan and it's the only strat that I've played with the big headstock that I love the feel of. Only problem I ran into was I found doing 1 and a half step bends difficult (which I do a lot). I didn't get...

I'm sure there are loads of threads on this but I'm still stuck. I don't want a full loud Humbucker - I've got guitars with JB's and Evolutions. What I wanted was single coils but after trying a few bridge ones I found them too thin and harsh. I realize its probably because I'm so used to a...

Hey guys - are there any fender guitars that aren't ridiculously expensive that look like said guitars in title? As in black and cream looking strats with big headstocks. The only ones I can think of are the american performer range (theres a new limited ed in olympic white that looks more...

Hey guys, I got really excited when I heard Charvel was bringing out the slime green satchel model and my heart sank when I saw it was satin finished. What is with Charvel's obsession with satin finishes :cussing: ? No guitar in the 80s was satin finished and a tiger striped slimed green...

Hey Guys. I hope this hasn't been posted before but I need a new pickup for my chapman ml-v (all mahogany w/ flame maple cap and ebony board). I'm an 80s thrash player (megadeth, testament and slayer - on south of heaven and seasons :headbang:) so I want a pickup thats tight and aggressive and...

Hey guys, just wanted to ask you what your favourite guitars are for playing metal on. :D

Hey guys, Im thinking of buying an American special strat and I wanted to put a single coil sounding pickup in it but a fairly high output one. I really liked the sound of the quarter pound flat, that has enough output for me but I fear that it's too noisy? I loved paul Gilbert's tone on fuzz...

Sorry guys I know I asked for distortion pedal advice but I forgot to leave out a key fact of tone in my last iron maiden thread that might change the responses I get. I know there was a fair bit of processing on that album so nothing will get me very close but is there any distortion pedal that...

Hey guys I wanted to ask if you know of any tight, high gain mesa rec/mark sorta pedals. Yes I know a second ago I was asking about marshall in a boxes but I'm just curious. Second question is Wampler triple wreck vs mesa throttle box. Anyone tried both and have an opinion? They are both...

Title says it all. I was bored and I wanted to hear your opinions on this great question

Im sorry Im sure these Marshall in a box pedals have been asked before lots of times but I have a specific question. I need a high gain Marshall sounding distortion pedal but I really love the maiden tone on number of the beast and power slave. I also like the tone of Priest on unleased in the...
