    Recording ?'s

    I downloaded Audacity the other day. All I have is my Dell Laptop which only has one "mic" input and a headphone input. No direct in to the soundcard. I plugged my guitar into my Line 6 Pocket Pod and found a sound I liked, used the direct out of the pod into the "mic" jack on the computer...

    pups and string spacing..

    I've heard that Fender and Gibson have different string spacing therefore the pups are different. I'm wanting a full size HB in the bridge of my Strat, but do I need to order something special or are they all the same? I think i want a SH-6, or possibly a SH-4, but MF's site doesn't show a...

    JB + Jazz vs. SH-6 + SH-6.. for heavy music

    Which choice would be better. I'm looking at 2 different guitars, both are Edwards Les Pauls with Maple caps. I'm mainly a rhythm player, trying to learn some lead stuff, but will be a while lol. Wanting something that is good for heavy drop tuned riffing and will respond well to palm muting...

    Need quick hot rail coil tap wiring help..

    Sorry guitar is apart and trying to get done before bedtime. Strat with rail humbuckers. It was already wired with red and white wires together and taped. Do I just separate these and hook one on each side of the push pull pot? Also the pot has 3 legs on each side but the one closest to the...

    SH-6 in a Les Paul..

    I'm looking at an Edwards Japanese LP that comes with SH-6's in both bridge and neck. The only other option is JB/59. Are the SH-6's better for drop tunings and stuff. I play mostly rhythm and almost always distorted. Most of what I play is in drop d or drop c. TIA

    Best full size HB in a strat..

    I have a MIA strat I want a full size bucker in the bridge. Alder body maple board. I just put hot rails in it and just don't like it. Not a fat enough tone out of the bridge. I've also realized I missed the cleans out of the stock neck pup. Can I use a sc in the neck and middle If I...

    Pearly Gates, 59, or SH-11

    which would be best for a alder body strat for the bridge. I'm looking for something fat that will do crunchy (not metal) more classic rock - heavy rock. If one of these will work, should I change my other pups as well? What about vintage rails or cool rails? Any suggestions would be...

    need help picking strat pups..

    New here, so I hope everyone is well. I have finally found my perfect guitar at least for feel and playability. It's an American Standard Strat. The only thing is it doesn't cover the music I play very well. I want something that covers say your 80's hair band stuff, ac/dc, skynyrd, and will...
