    A2 in a JB what changes?

    To me the difference is pretty major. With A2 the JB becomes a mid-pusher, although not nearly as much as the Custom with A2. FWIW I ike it.

    New pick idea.

    That would probably be very close to the Antiquity humbucker.

    NGD - Once upon a time, I was falling in love, but now I'm only falling apart

    Well, when I was little I took the money from those people to set up their guitars. So it's not all bad. Good for the economy.

    If you want to your amp to sound tighter, you use a TS9 . . . right ?

    Considering Bass Compressor

    "the first modern overdrive made by guitar players for guitar players" "redefines the boundaries of the standard “overdrive” with enhanced tone sculpting and advanced tone stacks" Somebody needs to tell the marketing uncles that this is a turnoff.

    Picked up a beater and it has 2 SD Neck humbuckers

    Caps

    I know this isn't what I typically write like, but I believe tone pot capacitors sound different by type, and not strictly by what they measure. I verified this as follows: a 12-position rotary switch with various types of capacitors, all the same stated value there is a pretty clear...

    Where/when did "modern" guitar tone begin?

    Floyd/Evertune vs fixed bridge w/ locking tuners

    Axlabs pots

    Everybody can buy custom tapered pots from CTS - if you get enough of them. Some years ago some vendor - I think RS guitarworks or some name - did that and people liked the pots. Of course there is confirmation bias once you spend money, so YMMV.
