I have number of guitars and this one just sounds like crap compared to the other ones. I recently picked up a 1989/90 Kramer ProAxe Deluxe. The guitar has a Mohagany Body, Maple Neck with Ebony Fretboard, Floyd Rose Pro Bridge in SSH config. The neck and middle PUP's are Hot Rails. It came with...
This is a rough mix unmastered version of the latest song I wrote and recorded. I played through my EVH 100s on the Blue Channel, only FXs are a Roland SDE 3000 on 400ms. All of the rhythm tracks are recorded using my new Wolfgang USA Stealth, and the lead was done using my trusty 1984 Kramer...
Doesn't have the Seymour Duncan name on the coils, supposedly these early ones are the best sounding...this one is old but in perfect condition. Asking $70.00. Email me if interested

It's actually my 87' Charvel.
250k vs. the 500k pot it has now. I like the way leads play but I want it to be a little less harsh, was thinking about switching it out with a CC, but then I read where JB is recommended with a 250K pot..but is that for a guitar with more than one pup?
The Guitars, body wood and current pup, and tuning
84' Kramer Baretta (Maple Body, CC) Eb
86' Charvel Model 2 (Basswood Body, DD) Standard E
99' ESP LTD (Agathis Body ?? Bridge, stock neck) Standard E and D

I have an EMG 81 that I installed into my ESP in the Bridge. The neck PUP is a CC. When I pulled the EMG our of my Charvel (single PUP) it had a 27K pot or something like that in it.
I then installed the EMG into my ESP that had both neck and bridge PUPS, but I didn't change the pot. It seems...
I have played Fender Strats, ESPs, LPs, and recently picked up an 86' Charvel Model 2. It looks a little like my 84 Kramer Baretta...but with subtle differences..like the volume pot!
The volume pot on my Kramer is lower/back towards the floyd or at the bottom corner of the PUP frame. The...
I picked up an 86 Model 2 Charvel...pointy head stock. I took out the EMG and put it in my ESP and put in a Duncan Distortion. It has a really muddy low end sound down past the 9th fret on the low e-b strings all the way to the bottom of the neck. Could a volume pot that is going bad effect the...
I was installing a JB.....I just wanted to try one. It worked for a minute but something kept shorting out on the volume pot...I could touch the pot where the solder was at and it kept shorting out. Then I took all the wires off, cleaned all the old solder off and re-soldered fresh...now it just...
Just switched the A8 out of my C8 and returned it to stock CC (A2).
I can see why the pups of the players that have very distinguised tones tend to like the A2 mag. I find the A8 great when playing at lower volumes as it is like a loudness button for a pup. But after playing loud for 2-3 hours...
How do you measure the DC resistance of a 2 wire pup...just a black and silver (braided) wire?
Then I want to wax pot? Are there instructions on how to wax pot?
Thanks
Mostly a lot of players are going back to a low output pup because todays amps are high gain. So moderate winds are being used (for clarity and tone)by more and more players....even in metal.
So why would the Alt 8 be recommended for High Gain amps. It seems like it would be better suited for...
