I opened the cab and the speakers are ripped in places. Someone put some speaker glue on them, but there are more rips. Should i keep gluing them? Pretty sure they are the originals, or what would be a good replacement set? Blues rock. Also, what's the best input jack to use as it has four...

Could you please give me a comparison of these sets. One is cheaper, so that's a consideration. Tell me what guitars you have tried these in, materialwise. I'm looking to drop a set in a mahogany body, maple fret board. I like articulation for my style, prog rock I guess, not sure.

I ran across this today. I guessing it's like 30's or 40's by the told history of the guitar. No "Epiphone" on the front of the head, just one the back, seems to be stamped in? No serial #, "trade mark registered". I'm not having luck finding an age of this guitar. Thx all.

They advertise as the same tonallity, but the coils are bigger, usually a bit more DC Resistance. I've got a DD and DD trembucker. Seems the trembucker sounds a bit muddier. Thoughts?

Where is a good place to buy? Just need a couple ceramics.

I was under the impression you use a 250k pots for single coils and 500k pots for humbuckers. So how does it affect the tone of the humbucker when a 250k pot is used in like Fender strat wiring with one volume? I'm pretty sure that's how Fender wires it. Also, would i just be better off with...

I'm looking into a strat, alder body, maple board. I like the FS for articulation and scooped mids. Is it nuts to put one of those in a strat bridge? Too bright? Is there anything else you would recommend? I haven't been up on the newer Duncans. I like to hear the notes in a chord under...

I've got an acoustic that the bridge is starting to pull off. Any suggestions on what kind/type/brand of glue to use for that? Thx

What would you suspect the tone difference would be in a stock FS and one wound up to just over 18k?

Could someone tell me what it sounds like? I really like the Custom and I see that the sh-15 is pretty close on the tone chart, a bit more mids. Also the Custom and the 15 have different mags. How does that affect the differences in tone? I've got a custom in a LP and is brutal good. What...

I need guitar parts manufacturers. I'm interested in a king v or rhodes v. Non trem. I've alreday looked at Allpart and WD. They don't offer those bodies. Suggestions please. A kit would be cool, maybe cheaper that way?

When I install a pup, before I restring, I check to see if the pup is working by tapping the bobbins of each coil(humbucker). I haven't used this EMG 81 since the eighties. I put it in and just the side closest to the neck seems to be active. Is this normal for this pup or is there something...

As I said, this was a year and a half trial, not and overnighter. The other pup’s in the mix were the Distortion, ’59, Full Shred, JB, and the APH-1. I rotated these thru three guitars. The Custom totally rocks! It’s bullet proof, it has no holes. It’s just in your face. Great for anything...

I'm a bucker player, not much experience with singles. My friend wants a hot lead, but in a strat not a tele. What installation probs would I encounter? Would it work at all? What would be a comprable strat pup?

I've got an amp with no effects loop. Which one would the guitar go into first? Chorus or the distorton? And why? I'm thinking chorus first? Cool Cat Chorus and Modded DS-1. Thanks
