Wow it's been awhile... currently my LP standard has a PGn and 59/Custom hybrid and the bridge pickup seems thin and glassy sounding to my ears. I'm pretty happy with the neck pup at the moment, but I'd like to try a lower output bridge pup with an A2 magnet, maybe a PG, A2P, Slash, or Seth? I'd...

Hello all, I'm entertaining the idea of a new partscaster tele-gib dealie, and am wondering about bridge pickup selection. Currently there's a lil 59 in the bridge of my american standard tele, and it's solidly in my "like" category, which would make it pretty good, but not groin-grabbingly...

Long story short, I had a JB/Jazz combo in an LP standard (my main guitar) for years, and the JB never seemed quite right. I put that combo in thinking that it was "industry standard" and I couldn't go wrong, but the feel of the JB was always kind of harsh, like punching a brick wall if that...

The last owner of my VHT 2x12 put stickers all over it, and I'm attempting to take them off now. Does anyone have a good method for removing the adhesive residue? I know that there are products like Goo Gone out there, but that stuff is grosser than the adhesive.

This ad says that it's a "Heritage Cherry Burst Flame", but to me it looks like a looks like a normal SG standard (the price for this used one is higher than a new sg standard btw). But I've never seen mahogany that looks like that, could it be maple top? Here's the CL ad if you want more pics...

I'm looking to spruce up my SG Special (I think it's a '95) a little bit with some new parts. It's got vintage-style tuners (with the plastic keystone button), and I'm looking for direct drop-in replacements, without drilling new holes. I'm thinking about the new tonepros/kluson tuners, but I'm...

Greetings all, I recently acquired a vht sig:x, and I'm using it with my bone stock '90 sg special (I think it's a pretty bright guitar). The problem is that while the amp is so good, it revealed that the bridge pickup driving it could be better. The stock pickup sounds a little thin to my...

I was thinking about this today, and I need some opinions on this... Are there certain types of guitars that facilitate the "one-guitarist" role in a band (i.e. a band that has one guitar, bass, drums and vocals only) better? I usually end up doing this, and I've consistently gravitated...

During my last gig I opened my pedalboard case to find that the AC adapter jack in my Line 6 DL4 was dead. The plastic cracked, and the pin on the inside was broken off (it's stuck inside the plug now). If you're wondering how this happened, it was because the AC adapter part hit the side of...

My GAS to replace my Mesa stuff is finally over (at least for a little while ;)). I got rid of my mesa single rectifier half stack a few months ago, bought a splawn 4x12 cabinet, and have been looking for a head ever since. I stumbled upon a good condition used 5150 today, and quickly snatched...

I am seriously considering buying this charvel from New York, but I was wondering how much a tech would charge to drop an original floyd rose in it (non-recessed), or if it is even possible. It's simply described as a "vintage trem," so I don't know much more than that. And yes, I know it...

Yep, the store that was consigning my mesa single rectifier and 4x12 recto cab just sold both, in only two days! :D It was actually the store employee who ended up buying it. The weird thing is that I'm not sure what to replace it with. I just had a deep desire to move on to something else...

While reading Robert's post about his new G Major, I realized how convenient it would be to put everything into a rack, and only have a midi controller on the floor. My question is, how would a wah pedal factor into this? I imagine that most guys with rack setups have a wireless in the rack...

Which pick do you use to play your best shred guitar? How come? Or, which pick does your favorite guitar hero use? I'm currently using a dunlop .88 nylon which seemed to be a happy medium between single notes and chord work, but I can't help but think that a harder pick would help my...

I lent my fender hot rod deville (2x12) to another band for their 8 or so gigs while they were here. I lent it to them, for no charge, because they have and will help my band out when we are in their town. Also, people typically do not want to take amps overseas with them (I'm out here in...
