How do you guys that buy stings in bulk store them? I was thinking about buying a case of acoustic Elixers, but I was wondering if I could have issues with the strings rusting or sounding dull when I finally put them on. I am thinking an 8-pack set would probably last me about a year. How well...

A while back I bought a Washburn X10 at a yard sale. It was cheap, but needed a some work. The owner said the bridge and the middle pickups do not work and the wire leads are cut about 1-2" from the pickups. The neck pickup works fine. It has a few minor body dings. Besides this, it is fine. I...

I've got my eye on an Epiphone Special II and need some help with replacement pickups. First of all, does anyone know how good the stock pickups are on these things? For a replacement, I want a Fender Jazzmaster-type tone. Warm and mellow, but still capable of a little bite. (I am going to be...

I got a Danelectro Reel Echo unit for Chirstmas last night. This thing is quite amazing and fun to play around with. It takes a 9V battery and like most pedals, uses them liberally!!! It didn't come with a Dano power adaptor and the maunal says to use the Dano power adaptor. I figured they were...

I need some help. I bought a tele bridge pickup off eBay and the wires are all in a gray tube that looks like insulation. How do I hook it up?

I was hoping someone on here could help me here. I am "remodeling" my Fender Frontman 15R (1-8" speaker, 12" H, 13" W, 7"D) to look like an old blackface Fender Super, Twin, Deluxe, etc. I wanted to put some tilt-back legs on it like the ones on the old Fender amps, but I cannot find any. I...

A while back I rewired my telecaster to an esquire. The positions are: Bridge w/out tone Bridge w/ tone Bridge w/ treble cut However lately I have been getting some static and in some cases a full loss of sound in the treble cut position. The treble cut is obtained through two .050 capacitors...

I will be swapping the bridge humbicker on a HSS Washburn X10. I need a good hot humbucker that almost sounds tele-like and I will be playing it clean. What you you guys reccommend for the bridge humbucker?

Can I use any pot for the volume and tone or is there a certain pot for each?

Okay I am just about tired of telecasters. I love them to death but I need something new. I just about have in mind exactly what specs I want: Red finish no pickguard Humbucker bridge Single coil neck Maple fingerboard but that ain't too important between $100 and $200 I am kinda thinking a...

If anyone has played or bought one of the new Squier Jagmasters, what are they like?

Which do you like more?

If you are looking for a good vintage tone from a telecaster try this. I bought a Squier Affinity tele and rewired it to that of an original single bridge pickup Esquire: Backward Position: Bridge pickup bypass tone pot for a sound hotter than a tele will ever give you. Middle: Bridge pickup...

That recent post on the fake Les Paul reminded me of this Jag I saw on Ebay a few days ago. The seller says they are not sure if it is a real Fender or not but what do you guys think? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33039&item=3771726584&rd=1 Tyler
