I pulled out the old Artist this morning. It's probably an AR50. The neck pup is probably a stock 1980 Ibanez pup. The scant 'net research I did suggests it's a Super 70 or Super 58. The low strings are muddy and soft, the high strings are thin and icepicky. I tried raising and lowering the pup, and raising and lowering the polepieces, none of which seemed to help. If there is a way to brighten up the low strings and fatten up the high strings with polepiece and height adjustments, should the polepieces go up or down, and should the pup go up or down?

Building a wolfgang copy
I am building a copy of my wolfgang, but I'll be changing the specs a bit. I'll be using just an ash body, instead of basswood. Still have a birdseye maple fretboard, two humbuckers, et.

Low cost practice amp for blues?
Was hoping to hear some opinions on what would be a good low cost practice amp for blues, particulary Mick Ralphs, Mick Taylor, Peter Green, etc... I'll be using a MichaelKelly LP with a set of 59's in it.

I have a DC ohm question about pickups...
So I am replacing the '53 Ant. neck pup in my Tele with either a Jazz or an APH full sized humbucker. Those are my two options. The DC on the Tele Antiquity is 7.6, on the Jazz 8.0, and on the APH 7.1.

Beater/player guitar for cheap? Choice choice..
I'd rather not order online (my parents would never allow me to use THEIR credit card for a second guitar even though they give me the money haha! )
Basically I've always been VERY interested in being a guitar tech or at least have the skills. I want a decent guitar that could be modded easily and that'd have some mods to be done to it.
