People, I've seen a few threads lately asking about how this magnet in that pickup would sound, so I thought it would be useful for those who have experience with magnet swapping to let everyone else know their tonal qualitites. Some comparisons of a pickup's tone before and after changing the...

Are there any DIY mods which sweeten the high-end of a pickup without completely changing it's character? I'm not sure if "sweetening" is the correct term, but I mean smoothing the treble out so it is no longer harsh/ice-picky WITHOUT lowering the amount of treble the pickup has and without...

And I mean as their MAIN axe, not 1 of many. Everything I hear, especially on this forum, about Hamer guitars is good but you look at their artist roster and for the most part, it's a who's who of unknown, session and mediocre guitarists within pop and rock. I realize endorsements play a huge...

Peyps, Do as the thread title says and I'll buy you 1 *. * If you give me $70k so I can buy 1 myself. I'm especially interested to hear from those who've played 1. Are they THAT good tonally? I understand the appeal and why they cost so much, but I wonder how they sound and if they all...

Hey peyps, Does anyone know the original specs of the AH-SH1 pickup such as: * DC resistance (Assuming vintage-progressive output) * Magnet (assuming Alnico, maybe 5?) * EQ levels (assuming something like 6-8-7 or those increments) I know it's available through the Duncan custom shop with the...

Hey guys, Let's all get depressed and say what amps we desperately want but can't afford. Yay! Lol. I'll go first ion no particular order (these are all amps I would/could use in my current situation hence no Pittbull UL or Bogner XTC for now. Lol)- * VHT Pittbull Super 30 (112 Combo)-...

A friend of mine bought this combo (on rec by me) to go in a guitar which he planned to buy. He's since quit playing guitar to focus on other things and never installed the pickups, so he's asked me to post an ad on here. They are: 1- SH-12 Screamin' Demon (BRIDGE) 2- SHR-1n Hot Rails (BODY)...

I haven't played this amp- mainly due to my pure hatred of Kirk Hammett, but the amp itself (in theory) sounds great (possibly too good to be true). This is what i understand: KH1- Fender Twin-esque cleans KH2- Marshall '87 JCM 800-esque rhythm crunch KH2- Mesa (Mark IIC+ ?)-esque tight, high...

Hey guys, I've never played or, to my knowledge, even seen a Korina guitar. So, as i'm sure many on here would've played at least 1 Korina guitar, i want to know what the tonal qualities of the wood are. I've gathered some info on the wood from various sources on the net which say Korina is-...

I'm not a big Hendrix fan by any stretch of the imagination, but i know loads of people on here are so have a listen to this cover of "Spanish Castle Magic" by Eric Johnson, Shawn Lane & Scott Holt. http://youtube.com/watch?v=TiGzJIHFoo4 It's 11 minutes long but worth the listen. :) Enjoy -...

Ok, i admit i have a problem, but look at this Dean USA Soltero & tell me it's not a beauty! For me, it's as pretty as any GLP. Sorry for the big-ass photo, but i know you like guitar porn as much as i do. There's also a Dean Razorback guitar which i love-...

Oh man, this thing is pure sex! Who wants to buy it for me? :)

VHT have updated their site to show the Sig:X amp, but that's it. Once you click on the "Enter Site" button, it's still the old one. But at least they've changed the "New Product" page to the Sig:X which has some details. http://www.vhtamp.com/

Has anyone played 1 yet (i'm not sure if they are in shops yet where you guys/gals live)? It's only £1,500 which is cheap for a 100w VHT amp (the Hundred CL is £1,679, the Pittbull Ultra-Lead is £2,000 & the Hundred/CLX is £2,400). Just curious to how the thing sounds. - Steve.

Hey guys/gals, Does anyone have any experience with this speaker- either own a cab with them in or played through a cab in a shop for a substancial period etc? I've heard from people that they can be muddy if the guitarist is playing in Drop-C and lower, although there are different factors...
