I wanna try this and see if it fits me and my music but i wonder what string sizes i should use? Did a google search and found a Pat Methany tuning but it was in A-A with a low A string but i want to go B-B with a high B string like "regular" nashville tuning. So, for B-B nashville tuning what...

I have a P/J bass which i wanna do the SD blend wiring on, except that i don't want the master volume just the blend and master tone. How should i wire it? This is the SD wiring schematic: http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=p_j_bass_blend Thanks in...

I wonder how important is the quality of the hardware to get a good sounding guitar and have the intonation perfect? Is the wood more important or is the hardware worth putting money in? I have a china made budget bridge and tuners and i wonder is it going to let me have my guitar in tune...

Hi everybody! I'm planing my "telestrat" at the moment and now i'm deciding what pickups to use. The strat sound i'm looking for is a non glassy, ultra quacky sound. I'm looking more for a "nicer", cleaner and jangly sound. I'm torn between using stacks or singles since i'm only having my...

Is the tele neck pickup bigger or smaller if you compare it with a strat pickup? Can you wider the routing on an already made pickguard or do you need a new pickguard from scratch to fit a strat pickup in the neck position?

I wonder about the comfort contours that can be made on Fender bodies, the tummy cut and the arm contour. These contours are standard on strats but if those contours are being made on a Tele will the Tele be more "strat-like" in tone and feel? Will the conturs in any way shape the sound of the...

I'm going humbucker in the bridge of my tele but i wonder sort of bridge i should get, it's either the Gotoh humbucker tele bridge or a hardtail strat bridge What would you buy?

Since the Seth is only 2 wires is it possible to wire it Esquire style with the 3-way switch? Will the pickup blend well with that wiring? It would be cool if it worked!

I came across this thread in a search and i wonder, i have an esquire and i have soldered the pickup direct to the jack because i don't use the switch, volume or tone, can i solder back the 3-way switch and use the tone cap to have any use of the real esquire wiring? I can solder back the tone...

Can you just install one of these Gibson type bridges on a regular tele or does it need any modification except for the small routing for the bridge?

Can you wire two humbuckers to a fender 3-way switch or do you need a super switch? How do you with Tele-Gibs do?

I have started to play my tele clone again and today i saw that the notes are dead from the frets 11-22. They all have the same note which ever fret i fret. The strings must be lifted a bit to in the bridge for them to sound from the frets 4-11 also so the strings are really high now. I have...

I have a stock tele copy which has a really great stock sound from the woods but i feel it lacks what i want to do with it. This is a spontanious scetch of what i want to do with it, i'm not sure yet of what to do with the bridge pup if i keep the tele single or get a full bucker. What do you...

I have a tele at home but i feel a need for a humbucker in the bridge position. Can i just route for a humbucker or does it need to be routed for a humbucker in the beginning for the body to resonate good with the humbucker? Will the extra space from the old pickup routing be a problem? New...

I have a brand new Ibanez AEL20 acoustic guitar at home and i'm looking for a special tone for it but i don't know what strings to get. I want a mellow sound so i first tried electric guitars flatwounds but those sucked up the character and left the guitar just sounding boring so they went of...
