Re: Let's talk about Okoume as a Tonewood... Being Used in the Squier Offset Tele. This is the Natural colour. Looks better in surf green IMO

I assume it is the pole spacing that is different but the overall size of the pickup is the same. Right???

These pickup Seymour Duncan Custom Shop offerings: http://customshop.seymourduncan.com/humbucker-under-p90-dog-ear/ I'm giving thought to have a set installed in an Epiphone Casino Coupe. There is a Gibson version of this guitar Gibson ES390 w/ minihums, but it is out of my retirement income...

Re: Humbucker under P90 dog ear This is a humbucker-under-P90-dog-ear pickup (SD Custom Shop)

http://customshop.seymourduncan.com/humbucker-under-p90-dog-ear/ I really like my Casino Coupe, the whole feel, comfort and weight. I like playing it better more my Gibson ES-339 (fat neck). I noticed there is a similar Gibson version to the Coupe with mini-humbuckers besides the P90s, the...

Anyobne familiar with Fab Amps out of Vancouver B.C.? I'm interested a low watt tube amp and this guy offers about three models that can have 2 to 8 watts depending on tubes and a power cut option. The idea of a 2.5/5 watt for use at home is very appealing...

What SD pickup would be closet to a Gibson '57 Classic Plus (Bridge)? Nickel or Chrome covered. Thanks,... Robert

I'd appreciate it if some one could point towards some resources about tube amps. I'm talking about the really basic stuff - like what's the difference between a 12AX7A and a 12XA7 or between an EL34 and an EL84 or a 5881 or a 6V6. And maufacturers like Slovtek or Groove Tubes or Eurotubes...

Anyone here have experience with a Traynor YCV20WR? It is on my short list for a tube amp - around 15 watts +/-. This is the link for the specs: http://www.yorkville.com/products.asp?type=32&cat=18&id=251 I like the idea of a Celestion Greenback, Nice looker too, but of course TONE is all...

Does anyone know who else makes modified effects pedals besides Robert Keeley? www.robertkeeley.com/home.php

Amp or speaker model aside, I like to know what others think about a choice of speaker sizes in a combo amp. (i.e. Peavey classic 4x10 or 2 x12, or Fender Blues DeVille or Traynor YCV80). I'm talking about blues or blues-rock played on a semi-hollow or solid body with humbuckers or even P-90s...

I've noticed some 30 to 40 watt amps, notably the Peavy Delta blues, is offered in two flavours. One has 2x10 speakers and the other 1x15. I know there are other setups 4x10, 2x12, 3x10, 1x12, etc, but I was wondering what people's opinion are about 2x10 vs 1x15.

I've been following the thread "Picks for Sheraton II" I was originally thinking of SH-11 (Custom Custom) for the Bridge and SH-2 (Jazz) for the neck on my semi-hollow bodied MIJ Riviera. However, I've noticed that others recommended some combinations of Vintage Humbukcers ('59's, Seth's...
