I really want to buy some gibson guitars (Specifically an SG but also interested in Les pauls (please also recommend v's and explorers too if you know any)) but I hate the glossy and sticky necks on most of them, I know of 1 gibson guitar that comes with a satin neck which is the sg faded 2016...

I'm wanting a very classic tone, i'm a big fan of late 60's and 70's hard rock The 2 best sets i've seen so far are the whole lotta humbucker and the pearly gates but wondering if anyone has any better suggestions that are more versatile and better at those genres. Can be 2 individual...

I'm building a custom guitar and wanted some opinions, advice and tips on it. This is my rough plan for how it will look and a rough plan for the electrics (note on the design there are 6 pickup and phase switches not 3, 3 is the correct number)

I need a link to chrome single coil pickup covers for a Twang banger and an SSL52-1 Five-Two For Strat (Both SD ofc) can you link me to someone to buy them for in the uk please. I had bought covers but they wouldn't fit over the pickup and the pole pieces didn't line up.

I'm building my own guitar, at the minute I know i'm definitely going for a SSH combination, 2 single coils at the bridge and middle and a humbucker in the neck, I am wiring up the red special pickup system where each pickup has an individual switch and a phase switch to go with it, I've decided...

Re: Building my own guitar, with no experience of wiring Going to buy 3 switches and wire them into the pickups, then cut holes for them in the pickguard and get the individual pickup system working, then I'll try for the individual tone pots, looking into how phase switches work but can't find...

Re: Building my own guitar, with no experience of wiring Done this so far, going to look to buy 3 switches and solder up the selector switch to have them all selected/remove it and wire them that way somehow and put a switch for each pickup

I'm looking to build my own guitar for a big school product, i've been fiddling about with a DIY strat kit and should soon have wired in and attached the pickboard back on with a cheap 2nd hand humbucker for the neck and 2 single coils for the middle and bridge. I'm looking to wire it the same...
