my hunt for a new guitar continues, so i headed up to the local pawn shop. dissapointed with about every guitar there, the last guitar on the rack caught my eye as i was about to turn around and leave. it was a natural wood finish Ibanez RG560. it played amazing, felt great to play a thin, fast neck for once with super low action. i didn't get to hook it up but i'm sure the stock pickups weren't to hot. anyways the problem i noticed, since it was bolt-on, was reaching the higher frets. i have never had this problem with other bolt-ons. i felt like i had to reach my palm all the way around the big bolt just go grab certain frets. to reach up to the low and A string was quite a stretch lemme tell ya. is this a common problem with most bolt-ons or am i just a whacko for not noticing this in the past?

What does the STL-2 (hot lead for tele) sound like when its tapped?
Is it comparable with any SD pickup when its tapped??

Are Antiquity I single coils wax potted?
The title of the thread pretty much speaks for itself: Specifically, are the Antiquity I Tele pickups wax potted? On the SD page it just says quot;the ferrous bottom plates are not wax-potted for that quot;breakin'-up Tele twang tonequot; that's just on the verge of feedbackquot;, but are the coils themselves potted? If not, do the pickups have a problem with squeal or feedback?
Thank you.

What If...?
I was browsing over a random guitar maker's website (I don't even know how I got there in the first place) and I stumbled upon a guitar that had an interesting concept.

Dimarzio Super 2 vs. Duncan Distortion
how do these 2 compare? my main concerns with the super 2 are: will it kick dirt onto my cleans? and who does the overall eq compare to the DD? (keep in mind i use a triple recto (the uncleanable) and mahogany bodied guitars, some with mahogany necks, and one with a maple neck and a DD in the bridge. they all have rosewood fingerboards.)

Gibson TP-6 tailpiece with fine tuners...get spoiled NOW!
It is not often that Gibson style players get to nut-up and buy hordes of gear like those available to the Fender crowd. You can quot;one betterquot; them, and everyone else with the Gibson TP-6 fine tuner tailpiece...A fine tuner without the off-pitch/time-wasting nastiness of a whammy bar with fine tuners. It is quot;Made in USAquot; (says so right on the bottom of the casting). To my thinking, a TP-6 is a 100% positive experience for a relatively small amount of cash.

Stars and their guitars
Hendrix is known for his right hd strat adapted for left hd, Brian May built his own. What would they be playing if they started out today? There are more guitars available than ever, and so much choice for any aspiring musician to acheive their sound. I once saw a mock up of Hendrix if he had lived, and they had him playing a Parker Fly!!!
Any guitarist any era, what would they be playing today?

Some Help needed with new Engl Amp. Quick,pls!
so i went out amp-testing today to see what i could set up as my new goal to save for. Coming to the store where i had allready bought my Vetta II i instantly and seriously fell in love with an Engl Powerball fullstack with Engl Vintage(vintage 30s inside) cabs.
The sound was godly and it just blew away any other amp i played today(several,marshalls,mesas, some peavys and so on). Just the fitting tone for everything i wanna play.
