    Bridge suggestions

    I've had for a couple of years a neglected Ibanez DT200 and I've been wanting to remodel it as my 2020 project. I had nothing solid in mind until I saw Wes Hauch's new custom model on instagram and basically I want to copy it because it looks so f'n amazing, mine has a tune-o-matic bridge and a...

    What to expect?

    Hi guys, I recently pulled the plug on a SD Slug that my "local" retailer had on offer. I play some heavy stuff and riffs but I'm not really sure what should I expect. Does anyone tried the real deal yet? Also I'm planning on putting a sustainer in the same guitar, would that be an overkill?

    Sustainer Wiring Help.

    Hi guys, I got a Fernandes FSK 401 in a trade and I want to install it in a HH guitar, I got most of the wiring figured but I wanna add a neck pickup to go with the driver, not as a middle but as a HS guitar so I could still use the guitar with the sustainer off. I've sent a couple of emails to...

    HS Active pickup advice

    Hey guys, I need a little help here: I'm building a monster (or trying to), I'm modding my old Fernandes Ravelle with a sustainer system and since it's already running on 9v I'll put a fishman battery pack and I was thinking on getting an active bridge humbucker and a single to match the...

    Sabbath Tone on a budget.

    Sup guys, after a couple of years dealing with family stuff I've decided to build a my pedalboard again and I want to have (beside all of my presets) a Sabbath setting just for fun. I was looking for the Catalinbread Sabra Caddabra, and seems to work just fine for the tone I'm looking for...

    Bill Lawrence L-550, Thoughts?

    Hey guys I'm having the chance to buy a 70's BL L550 Lead and I need some help here. Have any of you tried this one? I've read mixed reviews and I really want to hear an honest opinion so I don't spend 79 dlls on it.

    A question pickups.

    Hi guy's, I'm having a rough time deciding what pickups I'm gonna put in my Blacktop Jag. I really need a modern sound, I'm completely avoiding "vintage" sound 'cause I really don't like it. So, here's where I need you're help. I currently have P-90's on my Jag but I really want more power in...

    P-90 capacitor doubts.

    Hi guys. I starting to mod my main guitar (a Fender Jaguar Blacktop 90) and I noticed it has a very "cheap" capacitor on the tone pot. I have an orange .047 cap rolling around in my shop, do you think that it's a good idea if I change it? I was sure almost an hour ago, but now I'm looking for a...

    Blacktop Jaguar Mod Doubts

    Hi guys, it's been almost 2 years since I got a beautiful Fender Jaguar Blacktop 90, it was the first time I got to try P90's and so far I love them. As I got into more musical styles I've been wanting to get a new set of pickups for it, more variety, and versatility. I'm trying to get a HH...

    Doubts about switching systems.

    Hi guys! I'm having a pedal junkie crisis over here. Let me explain: I'm expanding my pedalboard, and I'm considering the possibility of getting a programmable looper. I'm thinking the Joyo PXL4 or the PXL8. Do you think it's worth getting the 8 loops even if I don't have enough pedals yet? Or...
