Kinda curious about giving the Breed a try. Just toying with the idea. I'm happy with the SSH+ on my Les Pauls. But the itch to try different pickups strikes me again. You know me. I was wondering if the Breed is sort of along the lines, just smoother. One of my Les Pauls (the Tribute) has...

The USB connection on it broke. I tried reparing it with superglue (LOL), but I think I made it worse. I can't find a shop in town that wants to take it in for repair. I can still play it. It still makes sound. But I cannot access the desktop editor, I cannot record via USB, and I cannot play...

I used to own a Chapman guitar, and it played great. I suppose that's the most I can contribute to this thread for now, LOL.

Rather than a recommendation or review or whatever thread, I guess this is more of a broad discussion. I wanted to get you guys' thoughts on the issue. I remember when I was using actives, I always liked how both pickups sounded in conjuction with each other, especially the Fluence Moderns or...

Kinda toying with the idea of either in the neck position to go with Suhr SSH+'s. How do you guys think these two compare? I like the idea of a smoother, rounder, yet clear neck humbucker that's not too scooped, overly bassy, or too attacky. Kind of the opposite of a Duncan Jazz, but not going...

Yeah, each to his own. I used to have a double cream D-Activator in my Strat at some point. I thought it looked alright.

I went to a guitar store yesterday, and I was this close to walking out with a new Squier Jazzmaster. The thing played great, sounded super loud unplugged, and looked awesome. But I hesitated for a second. I don't like traditional Fender single coils for the style of music that I play. I like...

Wondering if anyone is using the MBC to tame some boomy palm-mutes or something. I kinda want to have a mix-ready tone in the box. I find it very inspiring when I start jamming along to mixed tracks through headphones. Normally, I add a hint of MBC to my guitar tracks while mixing to tame some...

I had a Classic Vibe Esquire that I thought was pretty solid. I sold it because I didn't like how the mismatched multipiece body looked, but I kinda miss it. It sounded and played great. I kinda want something very different from my Les Pauls, but I also don't want to spend Fender kinda money...

Last year, I decided my tone needed an overhaul. I was using all ceramic pickups in all my guitars: Gibson 500T and Duncan Nazgul and Custom. I realized the only one that was really giving me what I wanted was the 500T. But then a trade came along where I got a CS Antiquity JB, and I decided to...

I've read you check it by pressing down on the string on first fret and the last fret. I've also read you press down on the first fret and where the neck meets the body, which is how I've done it. But my point is you get different measurements by pressing down on these two spots. I would assume...

They seem to be priced well, but are they good or are they junk? The story is I like the stock aluminum Nashville bridges on my Gibsons. They sound great, they feel good, and best of all, they don't rattle like some of the cheapie bridges budget guitars come with. But I'm running into the...

Kinda want matching zebra neck pickups to match my zebra bridge pickups. I, of course, want something nice. But I'm also not sure I use my neck pickups enough to justify spending high-end pickup prices on two guitars. I just want to make sure if these are actually good or they're just a waste of...

:D

Curious about the SSV in the neck. I love the Suhr SSH+, and the usual companion would be the SSV in the neck, right? Just kinda want to know if you guys thought it would be worth it over either the DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary or the Plain Jane Duncan '59. I've used those two, and while I...
