Selling a white Black Winter humbucker bridge pickup that I ordered as a Shop Floor Custom. I planned to install it in a non-trem string-through Schecter, only to later discover that the guitar is F-spaced! The pickup is brand-new, never installed. $90 with free shipping to continental U.S...

For Sale- EMG 81/85 set, $100 It had been a while since I'd tried active pickups, so I thought I'd give these a shot. Actually ended up switching to Fishmans, so these EMGs need a new home. They're basically brand new, I think I only played these for a couple hours total. This is for the...

I just bought a new Jackson Soloist, which came with an Original Floyd Rose tremolo. Nice guitar! I hadn't noticed any unusual sounds from it initially, but after giving it a little TLC, the high E now has this horrible buzzing/ringing sound, mostly if the string is played open. I've heard it...

I just picked up an SH-4 JB, but need some opinions on which guitar to put it into. The decision has to do with which guitar build and tone-woods would be the best match. The candidates are a Schecter SLS Blackjack, and a Schecter Banshee Elite (in "Cat's Eye Pearl" finish). Both are...

Re: Alnico Magnets in Nazgul 6 String Humbucker... A couple years ago, based on Clint 55's recommendation I planned to swap a double-thickness A5 magnet into a Nazgul. I had to order it from Cer-Mag in England. A lot pricier proposition than the usual Addiction-FX. Turned out that it was...

SH-8 Bridge & SH-8 Neck, $80 shipped (continental U.S.) These came out of a used guitar that I bought. The set-up was 2-volume, no tone, 3-way switch. As such, the red/white leads were not used and are secured under shrink tubing, but all of the leads are present. Bridge pickup has 7" of...

Used Duncan Distortion SH-6B, for sale. Bought it used, didn't know until it arrived that apparently, it was originally a covered pickup, and the cover has been unsoldered. Plays fine, I just prefer the Black Winter right now. $40 shipped USPS to the continental U.S.

https://detroit.craigslist.org/okl/msg/d/1990-jackson-soloist1st-yr/6555355118.html This is kind of amusing, in a way... I sold this guitar to a guy on Craigslist, about two months ago. Happened to be browsing today, and well looky here! I owned and cherished that guitar for several...

Recently I picked up a Schecter KM-6 Mk II, Keith Merrow signature model. Other than the somewhat boring (for metal!) natural satin finish, it's really an excellent, well-designed and well-built guitar. At least for me personally, I'm tired of the "metal = black" trend, and I like the natural...

So yesterday I stopped in my local GC, hoping to check out a few different guitars with an eye toward a new purchase. Undecided on any particular brand, I picked up several different models ranging in price from $350 up to $900. I was really looking for something around the $1000 range, but...

Just a heads up- A couple of weeks ago I spotted a couple of ESP/LTD guitars, the EC-1000 Koa model, at my local Guitar Center. So I was back in there earlier this past week, wanting to check one out to see how it played. Well, they have now put them both on clearance and knocked a couple...

So I was looking into picking up a new guitar, and this LTD H-401 Mahogany caught my eye: (and the link to the ESP website): https://www.espguitars.com/products/19120-h-401m?category_id=1963298-h-series I've owned several LTD 1000-series guitars in the past. This H-401 is similar in...

Over time I've acquired a few extra pickups, and it's time for a little Spring cleaning. The Custom 8 started life as a Custom 5, SH-14 bridge pickup. I can include an Alnico 5 magnet with it, if you want to restore it back to a Custom 5. I also have a Pearly Gates (neck), and three EMGs-...

So I picked up this used Jackson SLSMG Soloist as a "project" guitar- I love that thin, compound-radius neck, but the hardware and wiring all needed replacement. It came with EMG 81/81, but so far I've tried several variations of Duncan Distortion and Custom in the bridge, paired up with a Jazz...

Found a decent deal on CraigsList and I'm now the owner of a Peavey Bandit 112 Redline (U.S. made). Very nice amp for the money and (in my opinion) a lot better amp than the Roland Cube 60 I've been using. It came with a footswitch but apparently there are TWO versions of footswitch for...
