well, i called amp; ordered the hot rail the other day, and was told once installed it was non-returnable

A couple of nights ago I fitted my new Twangbanger (well 2nd hand..), and I noticed that the black and white wires on the pickup were opposite to the SSL-1's already fitted to my Legacy. I soldered the black to earth and the white to the switch, on the same points that the original bridge pup had occupied. I finally got a chance to try it tonight, admittedly through headphones, and although it sounds fine on its own, when in pos'n 4 (ie with middle pup) it sounds very thin. Everything else is ok, if a tad noisy. I suspect the noise may be down to my attempt at sheilding the route not being entirely successful.

Fellow forum dudes,

This is looking to be my latest addition, what do you guys think?
looks cool but i think it will sound a lot like a strat. Hopefully that is what you are going for. I like it

Hey guys... does anyone here own the custom 5 and could tell me about it? Like.. how'e the clean and distortion sounds 'n' stuff...
Best if you knew how its like in an alder strat

For sale, a really nice Eric Clapton Blackie strat.
it has a few little nicks and dings but this thing is GREAT player.

I heard that recently a pickup manufacturer made and makes Splitable Humbuckers that sound, when set to one coil, a lot like a Strat single coil. Something about the way they wrapped the pickup. Does anyone know anything about this regardless of it's manufacturer?

All,
I have noticed a lack of sustain with my ESP LTD EC-100QM. It's maple topped body on agathis, with rosewood fretboard, and stock ESP LH100 pickups. I will be swapping these to a '59/JB combo from SD soon, but alas the sustain on this guitar as it is right now isn't so good, and the high E string has a weird cycling sound on the 12th fret. It's already been intonated and all that, so it's not really being in tune, just sort of quot;wolfquot; tones on this note or something. Only this note does it. Ideas? Suggestions? Comments? Thanks!

anybody know what pickups brad gillis of night ranger uses ? i know he is using seymour duncans and i know the neck is an old hot stack i just don't know what he uses for a bridge humbucker to get those screamin harmonics and crazy sustain ! and crunchy rhythm tone he has now ! i know he was using a PJ MAXX back in the day but now he has a duncan humbucker of some kind ?

One of the things that came with my Warmoth order was a Tele pickguard cut for a mini hum in the neck. This meant I was finally able to install my SD Vintage Mini Humbucker in the Canadacaster (my red and white MIJ Tele Custom).
