i think ive come to the believe that my nut is no good.. I have a fender MIM standard strat, and tho overall the build is nice, tho i never trusted the nut, in that it looked quite cheap. i didn't think it really effected the guitars playability initially. here are the symptoms ive found...

it's been a while but ive finally returned to the SD forums! anyways, i just recently purchased a cleaner amp (nice fender tube, i love it), which really revealed much of the subtleties in strat's tone that i hadn't picked up on, a real breath of fresh air from the amount of tone coloration i...

Listen to it please! ^_^ It's called "In Her Blue Eyes". Its a blues/jazz instrumental. Comment, question, etc etc.... Bet you can't guess what equipment im using ;) www.myspace.com/scorchingblues Hope you like it! -stevie

So i recently got a fairly descent recording program on my computer (SONAR) Problem is, I dont have a mic or really anything i could use to record with... As of now, i dont really have the funds to buy a mixer or anything... I figured that i could just get a descent mic just to get me going...

Right now ive got 10s loaded into my strat, and i was wondering whether or not i should go up another gauge to help with those big bends. The only problem ive noticed with my 10s is that the high e seems a bit small and difficult for me to dig into (occasionally i would notice that string...

I know these are the top contenders for the low cost, all tube, bluesy-classic rock crunch, amp of amps. I'm curious as to which you guys thought topped the other, which had the best tones available, most potential with mods, best as stock, most gain headroom, best cleans, smoothest tones...

Anyone got any? I'd really appreciate it... Some blues please, of course ;) Tell me the setup u used ALso, where you bought it and how much do they run for overall Thanks in advance

Never tried em, but most of the reviews ive read were great I looked around their site and thought a Muy Grande would be goood for me... Any thoughts? on any particular Rio pickup or in general? Just curious cuz im interested in em (no offense to seymour duncan but im pickup hunting):) stevie

Im clueless ANyone kno? Im gonna buy the muy grande set i think i dont where i could go about purchasing em thanks

What are the major differences between the two? Which do you perfer?

Just curious on your thoughts on this one guys. Its an amp ive been considering to get for a while I need to know what its limitations or drawbacks are, whats good about it etc. Also what genres of music it would generally be used for as well you kno the usually questions I know the overdrive...

Just want your thoughts and clips of the 2 I think I am likely to get an Ibanez RG which has a Floyd Lockin Trem and basswood body So i was looking around the Duncan site, and stumbled upon these 2 models. I thought this might be what im looking for.... Nice crunch but can do blues well too...

Upon the suggestions of a few Seymour Duncan users, I have re thought and taken back my decision for a new amp, which was the Marshall DSL. What I need is: -Good bluesy tones (traditional stuff AND harder more rocky blues, kinda like what slash does but I m not lookin to nail his tone--just an...

AHHHHHHH! It's killing me. I always liked humbuckers, in fact I have the Custom SH-5 loaded in my guitar (an ESP Explorer that I like less each day, which doesnt suit my style or playing, and is a crappy guitar in general:(). I like the pickup, but I question whether it is "right" or the...

On Honkin' on a Bobo? I'm watching an A&E documentary on the boys now, and I was just listening to the guitars... And they sound GREAT! I think that this may be within the ballpark of the tone im looking for... I can only see that they are using Strats and thats it... Could someone tell me what...
