    New guitar! Charvel so cal hss fr m

    Wanted to have an HSS in my collection. After looking at many different guitars I decided to go with a 22 fret bolt on neck guitar with a floyd rose and maple neck. Ended up choosing a Charvel model because of their good reviews, their history of being some of the first makers of superstrats and...

    Which differs more from an a2pro aph1 neck; SD 59 in the neck or SD jazz in the neck?

    So I'm dead set on replacing the stock pickups on an epiphone flying v with an a2pro aph 1 in the neck. Thing is, I have another guitar which has an SD 59 in the neck and I would want to replace the 59 with a jazz if it sounds too similar to the a2pro aph 1. Thoughts/suggestions and opinions...

    Single coil P90 in a humbucker neck cavity?

    So I'm new to this all...is there a way to fit a "true" single coil in a humbucker neck cavity, without performing any permanent mods to the guitar? I know they have humbucker P90s but are those "true" single coil P90s fitted into a neck humbucker?

    So I have a MIM 1994 Fender stratocaster. I got it used late 90s or early 2000s I was thinking that one day I might add some locking tuners (it's horrible at staying in tune) and some loud pickups. Now I don't want to stray from the distinct strat sound, I have other guitars and plan to get...
