Hi all, Im considering my first semi hollow guitar but I don't want one with laminated wood. What choices do I have besides PRS hollobody models? Thanks,

is there a cab like this on the market?

I really like the tone of mahogany back with a real maple archtop. There are several models in the high end range, such as PRS custom 24, Suhr modern carve top etc. Is there a good mid-range alternative? (too bad PRS SE custom 24 has a thin flat maple top ;( all advice is welcome. ps, I really...

I really like the sound samples of full shred. It has some 3D-like tonal features, different from all other duncan pickups, i.e. clear and punchy. what type of guitars work well with full shred? also, the tone chart shows its EQ as 4/4/8. But the sound samples sound much warmer and smoother than...

does anyone know when they will be available?

I have MM Axis super sport with dual P90's. The bridge pickup sounds too thin. Will a duncan's P90 fit in that slot? Thanks,

it looks like a hybrid between a breadwinner and a steinberger. is it a custom made or a production model with a short life?

I looked around fender's line up and decided the MIM deluxe line is the best for my budget. The powerhouse model seems interesting because of the active circuit and dummy coil etc. Is that set up compatible with duncan pickups? fender's spec sheet says the pickups are "powerhouse ultra quiet"...

I just moved from pittsburgh to baltimore and my guitars are responding to the humidity in baltimore more than I am. I opened a case this morning and saw fresh rusts on my OFR and some frets. Strings get dark more quickly, too. What should I do with this? Should I get something to decrease the...

I remember seeing a photo on this board once. It was displayed at a NAMM, iirc. Now I need one for my emg upgrade. I don't like unscrewing it every time I change batt. Does anyone have a link? Thanks,

it's brighter than mahogany. but is it harder?

does anyone have any experience with those? what wood is the best for a hollow strat? swamp ash or alder might turn out to mushy. a soft maple hollow strat body might be interesting.

I am asking this because I am back from tryiing with SC humbuckers like cool rails and DMZ choppers. both are great!!! but they sound clean. they just don't have that raw attitude of minis. so before I order a warmoths body with mini routes, is it possible to get that kind of sound with a...
