I just had a set of Seth Lovers (7.4 K neck, 8.0 K bridge) installed in my Gibson ES-137 Classic. I have been slowly upgrading this guitar since my wife gave it to me for my birthday in 2003 -- added a bone nut, and had it set up with .011s using a Junior wrap around the tail piece. I kept the stock 490R/498T pickup set for almost 2 years, and was able to get some decent tones from them, but these Seths are in a different class. Although it's a bit cliche, they really sound like a you took a blanket off the amp. They are very warm and smooth, as advertised, but also very clear, sweet, and textured. None of the muddiness on the low strings like the stock pickups tended toward, and none of the harshness in the mids and highs like the 498T tended to slip into. The Seth neck and bridge pickups balance very nicely in terms of output, and they blend together beautifully.

Tips on refinishing an acoustic
First, the story. My backdoor neighbour came knocking at my door today. It was, once again, because part of my land is falling on his (he's 8 foot lower) and this has became sort of a friendly war between us each year because I don't have the money to have the wall rebuilt and he knows it.

That Instrument
Within the past months or so, I've been hellbent on making my RR3 perfect with new pickups. But it seems my mood has changed, and now its my Stratocaster resting against my amp. I can't put her down, shes playing very beautifully.

F/S 1996 Fender Lone Star Strat
This is all original with the Pearly Gates humbucker in the bridge and Texas Specials in the middle and neck positions. It is a 50th Anniversary (of Fender not of the Stratocaster) and has a gold Fender 50th anniversary emblem on the back of the head stock (1946-1996). This guitar is in excellent condition (less the missing volume knob which I lost). It comes with the original case which is just starting to see some wear on it. I am looking for $600 shipped for this. Thanks!

New Nut
I want to put a new nut on one of my Yamaha electric guitars. It's a cheap guitar but I like it. And I messed up the nut by overfiling it. I know about repairs with bone and epoxy, but I'm thinking to just put a new nut on it.
