Hello all pickup winders, I'm going to wind my own pickup for recently built Cigar Box Guitar. I'd like to keep it as DIY as possible. I got myself some neodymium magnets and a spool of 44AWG 1500 meters. Is this enough? Does any one knows how many meters of wire is needed for a start pickup...

I've got a strange problem with downtuning my electrics while my acoustic seems fine (or rather WAY BETTER then electrics). I use 13-56 strings, which are considered heavy BUT on my Washburn Hawk I can't even get to good sounding low C -> because of intonation problems. I've tried eveything to...

Hi, I know that p90s can do lots of sounds, and have a lot of character, but not having a guitar with p90s I simply can't check it out. My question is: can P90s jangle (in kind of Rickenbacker / Danelectro way) if they're tapped below the "vintage" specs? I know that jangle comes from low output...

So, guys, what's wrong with me? I tend to like heavier strings and lighter picks - it's polar opposition from what I started with. In the very begining I've used regular and light strings like 10-46 or 8-38 and the lightest pick was Dunlop Blue Gator .96 (the chubbiest one was Big Stubby 3mm)...

Speaking of "short scale" I mean shorter than standard Gibson scale. I've found two axes that sounds interesting on paper but I've never seen them in person or played them. First one is Fender Musicmaster/Duosonic with 22,5" scale and the second is Rickenbacker 325 with its 20,75". I know that...

I've been thinking of putting a set of p-rails in my Washburn and adding 4 push/pulls to get as much versality as I could get. So, is it possible (and if it is, could you draw me a schematic, please?) to get these options? Push/pull vol neck (up) – p90 Push/pull tone neck (up) – rail coil...

When it comes to P90s I'd really like to know the difference between neck pickup positions. In SGs and LP Specials P90s are mounted a little further from the neck - like after te 24th fret, but in LP Standards and BFGs P90s are directly after 22th fret, with no gap beetween the fretboard and...

Could You school me on acoustic archtop guitars? Woods used, frequency response due to body width and depth, and every nuances You know about archtops. Does anyone knows if you cound mount a fixed, non-floating bridge on an archtop? Like those on flattops... What it would change in terms of tone...

I can't stop drooling over this pic... If I only could get this beauty I wouldn't hesitate a sec. When I saw this axe for the first time my jaw almost broke my foot... It just screams to me rock'n'roll in an oldschool way. It'd probably cost me an arm and leg, but surely I wouldn't regret it. I...

First of all I'm used to hearing all my firends talk "Use a thicker pick, man, it's cool to use at least 1,14mm picks" like they're trying to say if you're not using thick picks that means you don't have balls. I'm gonna share my experience with you guys. I simply love two picks - Fender...

I was thinking about this wiring possibilities with a set of p-rails, and I think Dangly could like it a bit (because of lotsa switches:D). Anyway that's probably "the ultimate" guitar for lots of different sounds (maybe if a third, middle p-rail was in it could be almost endless switching...

An idea popped in my mind few days ago. It's about shortscale musicmaster project(or maybe a duo sonic) to be the simpliest, small and light guitar to carry around and have fun to play it un- and plugged. Share your knowledge with me guys. Dangly - you're my man when it comes to that kinds of...

i was thinking of gettin a wah cause i was using an auto wah for aome time and i would like to feel more expressive an get more control of the sound. So.. i was thinking of getting a Morley Vai's Signature or VOX Wah V847, what do You think about these? or maybe you suggest me a crybaby? pleasy...

Anyone played it? I can get Epi Les Paul Junior with single dog ear pickup, I haven't played P-90s yet (yeah.. I'm ashamed). And i havent heared a word about that epi (all junior or special epis i've seen had humbucker in them...) It looks cheap (bolt on neck, junior style so dot inlays ...

I've been thinking about aquiring a bass guitar lately. Can you tell me anything about old Sqiure Bullet bas , probably early '80 with tele-type neck with silver star logo and slightly undersized body(i think - i've seen it only on photos) and i think it absolutely stock here's the link to a...
