I love Squiers. As mentioned, they are great mod platforms. And if you want to do a little work, they can be great. I have an Lake Placid Blue Affinity Tele that 's really pretty. Then I have an Olympic White Paranormal Tele that I customized with a neck swap and different pickups. Very cool...

Ok thanks. :) One more question: I like the tones of my STL-2/SH-18 combo. I use 500K pots for both volume and tone because the STL is very dark to my ears and I like the extra presence. It also works prefectly with that SH-18. Do you think the JB jr would be too bright as a replacement in...

I want to sound like a hard rock machine. :) Speaking of which…I know that JB jr. is new, but how do you think it compares to something like the Hot Rails Tele pup? For a high gain bridge option?

I was asking because I currently have a Tele with a STL-2 in the bridge and a SH-18 in the neck. It’s a great combo in terms of output and tone. But the bridge pup is noisy as hell and I’ve been thinking about going with noiseless option. I’m wondering if the little JB would be a good...

So what’s the forum consensus on this one? Anybody tried it yet?

Does anyone here have experience with P90 sized humbuckers? I’m looking for recommendations. A few months back I posted about my new Epiphone Les Paul Custom P90. As I’m not a big fan of P90s, my plan was to switch them out for mini humbuckers. Now I’m reconsidering, as I think I want more...

For a long time I've wanted Les Paul Florentine. The Gibsons are outraguously priced but you can still get an Epiphone for a reasonable price. ​

I had a couple questions about this topic: Do the noiseless P90s on offer from SD "sound" like regular P90s? If so, how do they manage this while also being noiseless? If not, what is the difference sonically between regular P90s and noiseless P90s? Also, what is the difference between the P90...

Just picked this up today. GC was having a sale. Normally $799. Now $649. With tax I paid $687. And it came with a deluxe Epiphone brand gig bag, which is really nice. Backstory: I’ve actually been wanting a guitar with mini humbuckers for a while now. I have a set of Duncans from a previous...

I've been looking to pickup up a guitar with P90s for my next mod project, and I noticed that some guitars with P90s have those one piece wrap around bridges, like Epiphones for example. I've never had one, but I've heard there are some negatives, mainly around tuning and intonation adjustment...

Just picked up one of these this week. Very cool pedal. I don't have much experience with treble boosters. The only one I'm familiar with is the one built into my Strymon Sunset, so I compared the two. They both do a similar thing, but I definitely heard differences. The Naga is also analog...

I'm thinking about moving some pickups around again. I have a JB and Jazz in a Les Paul and I want to replace the JB with a more vintage sounding bridge pickup. I had an idea that I could move the JB to another guitar along with a higher gain neck pickup, with switching options for...

I've been wanting one of these for a while now. I'm not crazy about the (original/reissue) pedal format though. So I've started looking at alternatives. As of right now I'm looking at either the JHS Angry Charlie or the Wilson Effects Sparkling Blue. The Wilson has a clipping switch option so...

Looking to add some 70s Marshall tones to my arsenal, I started doing some research and came across the LPD (Lawrence Petross Design) Seventy4. I had not heard of this builder before, but based on a lot of positive feedback I decided to take a chance on this one. So far, I'm thoroughly...

Finally got my hands on one of these after years of wishlisting. So far I like it. Very interesting distortion pedal. Boss sure has some clever folks over there. Anyone else a fan of the OS-2?
