I'm looking for a good replacement bridge to my old 94 Epi LP. I was having very bad buzzing on the first string from the 3rd to 7th fret, and at first i thought the neck was twisted and all hope was lost, but then I looked closely at the TOM bridge and noticed it looked misshaped. I reversed...

Has anyone compared the new PRS SE semihollows to the normal PRS SE solidbody guitars? What are some of the tonal differences? Or what should be some of the tonal differences. I'm looking into getting a new guitar and noticed that I have no hollowbody of any sort in my collection (besides an...

Is it hard to set up alternate tunings on all standard tremolo systems, or just the ones on strats? What I mean mean by hard is that as you are tuning each sequantial string, it seems the other string you just tuned either goes up or down in pitch, thus having to go back through each string...

Went to the guitar store today and played the PRS SE Custom. Pretty nice for the price and very playable. My only beef is it only has a volume, tone, and three way switch. Does anyone know if the toggle can be switched out with a PRS 5-way knob? Or...how diverse can you get the combinations...

Hey guys, I'm looking into purchasing a Les Paul clone, most likely an Epiphone because it is more in my price range. (The quilt tops have been catching my eye as of late too...) On researching the Epiphone guitars I noticed that the body wood is a mahogony/alder blend. Will this affect the...

Hey guys, i got a question for you. I just bought a STK-S4 to go with my SH-11 in my strat. i have the classic stack in the neck and the CC in the bridge, but do not have a middle pickup yet. I wired the setup as a normal HSS auto-split would be done, and I noticed there is a tonal difference...

Hey guys, I recently ordered the Custom Custom pickup from a dealer for my MIM strat. Upon installation and observation I noticed that they ordered me the SH-11 and not the TB-11 used for tremolo systems, so the poles do not line up with the strings. How much of a difference does that make as...

Hey guys, I recently installed a Custom Custom into my HSS strat (maple neck, alder body) and it sounds F-in amazing. Now I am looking to add the two single coils to the setup. I am going for that vintage bluesy tone from the neck postion and either the same for the middle, or a good...

Can anyone tell me some good replacement tubes for a B-52 AT112? The amp is giving me a static sound when nothing is plugged into it in both clean and overdrive channels, so I figured some of the tubes might be weak. It has 2 power tubes (6L6 / 5881), 4 preamp tubes (12AX7), and a reverb tube...

How would a Jazz/JB pickup combination sound in an Epiphone LP-100? I believe the body wood is mahogany/alder and the neck is mahogony with rosewood fingerboard.... I am about to renovate my old LP with a new neck (old one warped) and new hardware, so I thought I would go ahead and give it...

I recently purchased a new tube amp (B-52 AT 112) which sounds amazing. But when I got it home I noticed it has a low hum in the background when I am not playing. It is there even when I unplug, so I know it is not my pickups. Is this just a characteristic of tube amps, or is it something I...

I was wondering what are you guys opinions about the B-52 AT 112? Are there any problems with these amps? I've never really heard of this brand so I'm trying to do some research before I buy. Thanks

Is this a good amp? I know it's solid state, but I am trying to find a good amp around the $500 range. I want something that I can also take around with me when I travel, so a stack would be out of the question. It needs to sound good at low volumes (apartment complex) as well as high...

Is the only difference between the Custom 5, the Custom Custom, and the Duncan Custom the type of magnets in them? I guess what I am trying to ask is if you get one pickup....say the Custom Custom...is it possible to turn it into another one of these Customs just by switching the magnet to...

I recently bought some 22 gauge wire that I was going to use to set up a new pickup system. When I went to strip the wire I noticed it was just a solid copper wire, not the stranded type. The current setup from factory has the stranded copper wires. Will the solid wire work? Which one works...
