I have an 84 Gibson Flying V with a factory installed Kahler trem. Besides that and the tuning keys, it’s all non factory electronics and pickups. I would like to sell it, but I’m not sure what to do about the pickups. My goal is to sell it, and I want to make it as “market friendly” as...

I have an older Orville Les Paul Custom. I like the the guitar a lot, however the neck is a little too fat for me. Maybe not fat, but just not the shape I like. It’s sort of a 50s style C shape. I really like the SG Standard or the ESP necks for my playing. I guess that would more of a D shape...

Looking for a pickup voiced similar to the Dimarzio SD, without the low club. Any suggestions? Not the Duncan Distortion or EMG. What about a SD Custom? Similar output, ceramic...thanks

Hey guys. I recently changed everything on my guitar rig. Now I use and JCM800 2203, KT88 power tubes, and use pedals for gain. Basically, I run the pre amp anywhere from 10 oclock to 1 oclock, and use the pedal for distortion. It's my goal with this rig to have a nasty, oversaturated drive. My...

I recently bought a 2203 reissue. It sound good, not as good as my modded 87' 2203, but good. What model 2203 is this supposed to be a reissue of? I know theres been changes to the design over the years, and the gurus say one year is better than the rest. So if you're familiar with the Marshall...

I've searched and can't find what I'm looking for. What are you guys using to boost your JCM800's? I find the TS style (stock) and the OCD are a little congested (maybe compression) for my liking. I'm in search of a more open sounding od/boost for the front end. My amp has kt88s, not el34...

What I'm looking for is a boost/wah pedal with auto return. You know, just step on it and it turns on. I'm not a pedal person, but I have been incorporating a wah into my leads. I have a ****ty dime wah, and it just isn't doing it for me. I'm shopping around for a new one, and so far I like the...

I recently purchased (new) an Egnater Vengeance. It's a Marshall-y type overdrive, geared towards metal. It has 4 power tubes with the options of running different power tubes in pairs. It came with 6l6's, but I've been using kt-88 and kt-66. I recently switched out the kt-88 for el-34. I...

Re: Followed Stewmac diagram... no sound... It's wrong, but you could unsolder everything very carefully and start over. Just be careful when your unsoldering the caps. Just hold the wire to the cap with some needlenose as a heat sync. I like to make a template of the configuration on a piece...

Super Efffin crunchy. Great High Gian Low Gain frequency control that lets you pull out some of the low end mud that you get from low tunings. Also. it has this massive transformer that allows for EL34's, KT88/6550's, and 6L6's. Not only that, you can also use 2 different tube types at once. It...

Look what came in the mail today. Took me a couple months to save up. I'll let you know how it sounds.

Re: Seymour Duncan Convert from EMGs, Could Use Your Help It doesn't get attached to both. You need an additional cap to solder on the volume lugs. It's quite simple. If you're apprehensive about, just assemble the electronics as you would by following the diagram, and if you prefer more...

Re: Potting PAF's Yes they both have covers, and from my research the PAF sticker pickup is a '67-'72 and the T-Top is a mid 70's.

I have a Gibson P.A.F. sticker pickup from the 60's and a T-Top from the 70's. I love the sound but I would like to use them for some higher gain stuff. However, they are un-potted and they squeal. I want to wax pot them, but I'm afraid potting them would reduce their re-sale value. If there...

There are similar post like this all over this site, but I feel the need to reiterate. I just put a A8 in the JB I've been using, and all I can say is I wish I had done it years ago. I put it in my LTD Viper, mahogany through and through. I suppose I'm preaching to the choir here for those...
