    Less compressed, weaker pickup being more responsive?

    I currently have a Pearly Gates in the neck position and a Suhr Aldrich in the bridge I love both, but I'm having a problem. The PGn behaves perfectly under gain. I play legato lines and it picks up all the notes The same isn't happening for the Suhr, and I'm surprised since it's supposed to...

    Finally set in my Pearly Gates and Suhr Aldrich!

    After months of waiting for them to arrive and customs to finally let me have them, I finally popped them in! Guitar is a mahogany Epiphone Black Beauty I am so satisfied I don't even know where to start The Pearly Gates is amazing. It's REALLY crunchy, like unexpectedly crunchy. I've never...

    Feedback on Acmeguitarworks.com

    So far it's been really terrible. I placed my order on the Suhr Aldrich on the 29th of October. Only on the 3rd of November did they tell me that it was out of stock and they'd have it on the 12th. It's now the 16th and still no word from them, nor has it been shipped.

    Does my dream guitar exist?

    Les Paul Body Shape Mahogany 24 Frets Fixed Bridge I've seen a few models by ESP... but not only are they really ugly, but the scale is still 24.75, which means the high frets will be impossible for my fingers Comfort wise, 25.5 would be ideal, but I wonder what that would sound like..

    Is the Pearly Gates available in gold cover?

    I've looked on every online store, including Wymore, and I can only find it with a nickel cover :|

    Custom/5 vs Aldrich. Which is fatter?

    Bought an Aria Les Paul copy today Planning to outfit it with a Pearly Gates in the neck and something hot, warm and articulate for that nice 'pentatonic player on steroids' tone, with the classic rock on steroids rhythym spin or more agressive modern rhythyms How does the Aldrich match up to...

    I'm going to do something naughty with my Black Beauty..

    You all know the deal. Pickguard, three golden pickups, gold hardware, etc Just took off the pickguard, now this is what I'm planning on doing. Three silver cover pickups. H/P90/H or P90/P90/H Silver hardware And the final touch... a silver Bigsby. I wish I had the photoshop skills to...

    Help me choose pickups for a mahogany Les Paul style guitar

    I ordered an A2Pro neck and a Custom SH-5 from a local store, but after months of waiting they never came and I got my money back, so I've decided to order from Wymore Guitars. This was a good thing to me, because I don't think I had planned out my pickup choice well enough. I'll try to keep...

    Does Wymore's Guitars ship worldwide?

    The store where I ordered my SD's just crapped out on me. At least they gave me my money back. I have no clue where to order the PUP's from now, and I coudn't find any info on Wymore's site whether he ships worldwide or US only

    Difference between a Custom SH-5 and a Custom 5 SH-14?

    I wanted to order a Custom 5 but accidentally ordered the Custom SH-5 because of the misleading name... ugh Order can't be reversed now. How different are the two pickups? It's for the bridge position in a mahogany Les Paul style guitar I'm afraid this will sound like **** now :banghead:

    Bogner Shiva vs Ecstasy

    Which one do you prefer? The Ecstasy is much more versatile and can get some amazing lead tones, while the Shiva has much more 'character' and is much more distinguishable, in my opinion, but is a bit underpowered. Also, how do the Ecstasy's cleans compare to the Shiva's? I love the Shiva's...

    What's the brightest and punchiest sounding speaker?

    I'm looking for a very bright, clear, tight and punchy sounding speaker setup to balance a dark sounding amp I was thinking of maybe an X pattern V30/G12H 4x12?

    Am I the only one who doesn't care for Dumbles?

    Honestly, they don't impress me at all. The tone is just so polite and boring... I feel like it even limits the guitarrists playing. Maybe that's just me though, my 0.02

    Are there any mahogany strats? Does anyone have any experience with them?

    Mahogany is my favourite wood and I love how thick and full it sounds, and I love the sound of strats, I was wondering if there was a way to get the best of boths worlds A S-S-H (Neck-Mid-Bridge) configuration preferably I don't know how this would sound in real life, but in my head, I...
