Hello everybody, has anyone tried combining a Phat Cat in the neck position with a P-Rails in the bridge position? The thing is, I have a Cort KX-1 guitar that sounds great with a Phat Cat in the neck position. Now, I don't have a Phat Cat bridge and instead I want to use a bridge-position...

Hello everybody, I've been a member for a long time but have not been active lately. I want to wire a Tele-style guitar for the following pickup combinations: 1. bridge; 2. bridge+middle; 3. middle; 4. bridge+neck; 5. neck. I assume the standard 5-way switch will not work for this. I have a...

Hello, greetings after some time. I would like to ask for a piece of advice. I want to have a custom guitar made with the following pickups: Tele rhythm in the neck, a Strat in the middle, and a HB in the bridge. I want the Tele N and Strat M pickups to be in phase and hum cancelling when on...

Hello, I'd like to ask for advice on the following project: A H-S-H guitar, Strat-style (curved gaboon body, maple/rosewood neck), vintage-style tremolo and tuners. I want to use a Phat Cat in the neck slot, a TB4 in the bridge slot and a SSL6 in the middle position. Now, what exact SSL6 do I...

Hello everyone, I have been hunting for these pedals for months. They are not sold in Europe so I contacted several US shops. Nobody even answered my email. So I'm trying here. I am looking for the OD2 Overdrive, MD2 or MD3 Micro Digital Delay, PS2 Phase Shifter, VT2 or VT3 Vintage Tremolo, and...

Hi all, Would you share your direct user experience with this pickup combination? I tried it in a strat-style guitar (mahogany body) to great results, now I'm going to put it in a Les Paul. I believe it's going to be good, I'm just interested if you have anything to add that you believe is worth...

HI all, I want to give my new-style Rails pickups that cream color. I know that coffee works best but I'm reluctant to just dip the pups in it because I'm afraid something might corrode inside. It's no problem to dip in a Strat-style pickup cover and let it soak for a week, but how about a...

Hello, I'm looking for a bit of advice. I did a little forum search but haven't come to a definite answer. The deal is: I need a Strat-style humbucking pickup to work well in a H-S-H guitar. The other pickups in the combination are a TB-1 full-sized trembucker in the bridge and a special...

Hi all, I read here somewhere that the PG is pretty close to the '59 in terms of specificationhas except that it has unbalanced coils for more upper midrange slice. Is it true? Or please point me to a FAQ section or something. You see, I searched the Forum for this question several times in...

Hi all, My GAS has taken its toll again. I purchased a used Hamer Studio. I won't be able to post any photos until tomorrow. Let me just say it's a natural-ish quilt-top with black binding, natural brown neck and back, one-piece neck with a HAMER USA logo on the headstock front and no S/N on...

Hi, a friend bought a custom bass with a Basslines 5-string Jazz Bass pickup (flat cover, no polepieces visible), and the label on the bottom it says "5NM". I did my search on the FAQ section but haven't found a definite answer. It could be an Active 5 for Jazz BAss or a Stack. Can anyone help...

This pops up on e-bay everytime I go there. Is the price right? What do you think? http://cgi.ebay.com/Replacement-Varitone-Gibson-blueshawk-nighthawk-es345_W0QQitemZ7411125725QQcategoryZ38083QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem I have no idea... Tony

Hi everybody, I've got this SG copy. It's a luthier-made clone with a dense mahogany body and maple/RW neck. I want to pair it with a LP copy that I have (mahogany/maple body, maple/RW neck). Now I realize the guitars will never sound the same, or much alike, but I believe they can sound close...

Hello everybody, I don't want to brag but thought I'd share the photos. Two or three weeks ago I posted about my new acquisition, a Vintage Sunburst Nighthawk SP2. It's a NOS '96 that had sat in the store for almost 10 years until I bought it. Well, I have got one more Nighthawk, a SP3. It was...

Yo pals, Instead of spending my hard-earned cash on something more family-friendly, I just got a NOS Gibson Nighthawk SP-2. Vintage sunburst, 2 pickups, tadada... the nut had its slots cut too deep so I had to have a new one made, but since then the sailing couldn't be smoother... Guess I'm a...
