I have an '81 Les Paul Standard that I recently pulled the '57 Classics out of. In the neck I put a Duncan Pearly Gates neck and I think it's the best neck pickup for me. For the bridge I tried a Screamin' Demon (because I love it in my Frankenstrat) did not work in the Paul for me. So I ordered a Pearly Gates Bridge. It sounds great and balances perfectly with the neck but it, although an improvement, is maybe still not for me. I put my '57 back in and I liked it better, but perhaps maybe just because it was more familiar.

I tried out both of these amps today, and loved both of them. Out of the two, I liked the 2061x the best. It had more focus and presence in the mid and bottom end. It seemed to have a little more natural distortion when really driven. both really seemed to have and open dimensional sound to them. I used a les paul. Very warm attractive amps. Great Tone.

.....If what you really mean is fat, warm, punchy, and smooth, without the toppy, clacky, thin, crispy, brittle, overly bottom-heavy, or overly mid-scooped tone that's often associated with quot;modernquot; sound (and that pockety-pockety, fork-on-plate noise the slap'n'jammer kids prefer)....I need a new P and J pickup and that quote pretty much describes exactly what I'm looking for.

The first strat pickguards had 8 holes and were 1 ply, right? Well, they starting making 3-ply, which is stronger and some might say better looking, but what was the point in adding another 3 holes? 8 holes will hold just fine. 11 holes gets a little annoying, and it shows more screw heads on the guitar. 8 hole is less of a pain taking off, and looks better.

Blues Trembucker is SOLD! (Sorry had it on HC as well amp; got a cash offer)

Can someone please explain the mystery about putting full size humbuckers into a Strat? I have a tremelo-equipped American Strat that is routed to accept bridge and neck humbuckers. Will the guitar accept any humbucker or does it have to be F-spaced? The distances between E-strings are 48mm (neck), 51mm (bridge), and the nut is 43mm. Are all humbuckers standard size with regards to fitting into a Fender Fat Strat pickguard? Will the screw holes line up? Thank you much for any info.

I came across a great link by Doug Roccaforte about tube replacement. It might save folks some $$$.

Hello,

Its a quot;post Leoquot; and it was garbage....I really thought it would play like a dream....needed a good setup, but couldnt get it right, nut was too low buzzed like mad and the claw was run all the way to the body and the bridge still wouldnt stay down. I think it was a factory abortion that ended up at the pawn shop. Ive played a pre BBE one and loved it, but the quality has gone down.

anybody know what pickups the guy from stone temple pilots used or what pups what get a similar tone. specifically the core album (sex type thing, wicked garden, plush)
