What do you guys think of Guitar Center and their website www.musiciansfriend.com ? Do you shop there? What do you like about it or not like about it? Do you think the company has a good future? Thanks

BT for Eric Johnson’s Trademark needed! Help – I need a good quality backing track for Eric Johnson’s masterpiece “Trademark”. Who can help a brother out?

I have just put some SDs (JB and 2 classic stack plus) pups in an old Ibanez, and they sound fantastic. In fact they sound better than my new Ibanez RGT320Q. Its mahogony with a maple cap, and has 2 IBZ Dimarzios (high output humbuckers) which I find to be OK, but a bit dull. So Im looking...

I want to buy some new SD pups online. But living in Canada, the choice of websites seems limited. Has anyone done this and who did you buy it through? How did everything work out? What were all the costs (duty, US tax, Cdn tax, etc)? Thanks

I want a new neck pup that will help me get that thick bluesy SRV lead tone for a basswood Ibanez. Suggestions? (probably going with a JB in the bridge and a ??? in the middle)
