So I need help with Stratocaster colors.....

How durable are these modern imported fret alloys? Are there brands that are known for better frets for the the money, or are the price points sending mid level (sub $1000 suggested retail = $500/$600 retail) to a mediocre point?

I've got an Original FR equipped guitar and the low (EAD) strings have a pingy, metally sound that comes out mainly under amp distortion. The same sound I get out of my Strat. Is this caused by the springs?

Hi All,

Hey guys.. I put a DD in the bridge position of my RG 550 and while I love the DD and always will as I find it to be one of the best all around EQ'd pickups on earth, on this guitar it's a little bright, because the guitar is bright by nature with the Ibanez Trem which is a real monster, but I love it.. Anyway, I'm going to go to the Tone Zone in the bridge which is also a high output pickup, and I'm wondering if the DD would work in the neck or is it too high in output compared to the Tone Zone? It seems to me that from memory the Tone Zone was about the same in output or even more, but I don't know for sure, and I can't tell by looking being that SD doesn't publish MVolts in output, but just DC resistance, and I don't even know for sure if that matters? I'm not an electrical engineer for sure..hehehe.. Any help would be greatly appreciated! If it will work, or anyone thinks it will, what single coil would be good for the middle of these two hums?
Thanks so much

hey guys some of you might know that im selling my dear old les paul, ive decided that the strat really is my thing right now. so im gonna buy a strat purely for how great it feels and how resonant it is unplugged. i dont care if its a squier. well yeah, i do. im gonna make sure the components are pretty good. i dont want to gut the entire thing. but then im going to replace all the pickups to get a stevie ray/texas blues sound. what pickups are best? im sure duncan makes a great set. i was thinking about the antiquity texas hots with custom bridge surfer. but waht about van zandts? fralins? lollars? i was looking at the van zandt blues pus and the fralin blues specials and they are definitely candidates... they both end up being cheaper than the antiquity duncans once put in a set of 3 too.. so anyways opionions?

After all this time wrestling with my V-amp and my Fender 650 (which is one heck of a good box, but just not working too well with the v-amp), I tried plugging my blue thing into the crummy little marshall MG15 DFX I got along with my guitar. And it sounded good - the V-amp sounds warmer, and the crunchy models sound good after they're quot;Marshallisedquot; a bit.

Does anyone know of some reputable effects pedal repairmen?! The first switch on my Line-6 DL-4 has decided to be less than co-operative in basic function and response. All help is appreciated.

Hey guys. I have access to a cheap bone nut, and Iquot;m wondering what the advantages are of bone over plastic. What do bone nuts sound like? How do they affect string life? How would they sound/function in an SG? THanks.

Hey Everybody, generally speaking does a lower output bridge humbucker = better clarity under medium to heavy distortion? Thanks for the help.
