What percentage range is safe? Guitars not in cases. Mostly my home is about 60-80 % range between winter to summer. Electrics with heavy seal less vulnerable than acoustics? Keep at tention when not playing?

The 'rails are doing wonderful things, and have shed light on just how poor the existing neck stock pup is. So, as you can imagine, I'm GASSing for a suitable SD tele-neck pup. Because the bridge hotrail is taking care of the hot, aggro & cutting end of the business, I was thinking of a...

I have a Samick Tele copy, which I like alot. It has always surprised me. Cheapish. Not through the body string setup. Not fabulous hardware either. But always a nice resonance in the body, especially on the bass side. Kind of thing you can feel against your hip, even when not pluged in...

For 555 US Dollars I can get all the bits for a tele type guitar. Ash body, Maple neck, grovers, graphtech nut. All black hardware etc. Everything except the pickups basically, including shipping halfway around the world. All I'd have to do is assemble the thing. Or i could get a new...

I need to alter my footswitch. I have a Roland Cube 30, which should use a FS-5U (unlatch type). The guy at the store didn't have any (I'd need two, one for channel job other for toggling fx) They were very expensive so he threw in a free generic footswitch. It only changes every second tap...

Just got my hot rails for tele. I've checked the diagrams in the box and on the website. I want to split the pickup, but the diarams assume i'm using a 5 way. I want to leave the 3 way, and use my new 250k fender push pull knob (at the tone). Does someone know where i can get a schematic...

Does anyone know what amps, pickups and guitars these guys use. Or a url for a page that discusses theirs gear and setups? ta tom

I have an option to buy a '73 strat, and it's expensive. Some mods appear to have been made - ie brass nut and Dimarzio single coils. It plays nice, and has a nice acoustic vibe. It feels really heavy compared to my MIM strat? I'm also a '73 model, and was wondering if the guitar, like me...

It's a 96-97 Sheraton (not Sheraton 2, if there is a diference). It's fitted with stocks, which aren't terrible, the neck one is actually rather nice. Bridge seems bit weak. Anyone modified a similar or exact guitar? I want to retain the guitars' mello "jazzy noodlings with a cognac...

I use this and thought i'd rave about how great it is. http://www.ableton.com/ not just for DJ/computer geeks, this thing really rocks and it's so simple, yet very flexible. Record your guitar straight in, loop some drums, loop your guitar, arrange, sing etc. And the interface is unlike any...

:smack: This could be a record idiot question, but here goes: If i leave my lead plugge into my guitar, even while not playing, does it mean the magnets will go bad quicker? Ha. If you leave 2 guitars in a room for 10-20 years, one sending a current down your 20ft lead, the other not, will...

So i added the '59 to my MIM strat, and now.. -jeez those stock pickups sound muddy, so I'll get a nice alnico2 pro flat (APS-2) at the neck. That i'm fairly sure of. What to do in the middle ? When getting this done i want to also take advantage of the splitting potential of the '59. So i'll...
