Hey guys, i was read that if you add a chrome cover to the neck pup, and leave the bridge pup open, it colors or alters your tone. In any case, can someone explain to me what this does? Because i know that Page and Tremonti do this. Thanks

Cuts Like a Knife
Does Brian Adams play a strat on quot;Cuts Like A Knifequot; or is that a Jackson? I can't remember, I always picture those 80's guys playing Jackson's.

Decision between 59' and Custom 5
[FONT=Arial]Well I tried the Custom to my strat and I think it sucked. A friend has got a Custom in his Epi SG and it sounds great. Now I have to buy a new PU. I play mostly emo/rock. I`ve been thinking 59' and Custom 5. So which one would be better?

Help with magnet swapping in humbuckers
Can anyone post a step by step tutorial on swapping HB magnets, including do's and don'ts and caveats? I'm thinking about trying full-strength alnico 2 or alnico 5 magnets in my Antiquity HBs. Will the A2 and A5 magnets from my Gibson 490R/498T pickups work in the Antiquity HBs?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Help me choose parts for my project strat
Ok, Im pretty sure about most of the parts Ill get, its basically a superstrat but tell me what you think. I was thinking about getting a northern hard ash body but does it matter if its a one or two piece? Id get a maple neck but I dont know whether to get a 1 piece or a maple with a maple fingerboard, I want whatever one would have a warmer sound. I think I should get schaller locking tuners. I think Ill get a fender reissue vintage style trem but I play some van halen stuff and I know that it will probably go out of tune a little but it shouldnt go out of tune too bad right? I can always tune a little while Im playing if it doesnt go out of tune too bad. Id use a paf style humbucker in for the bridge pickup and maybe some single coils for the neck and middle but Ill figure that out later. Ill probably just get one volume knob but either a 500k or a 1meg pot, what are the differences? Im not sure about what kind of nut to get so could you guys help me out with that? Ill probably get the gibson size frets. And theres some other hardware too like the neck plate and stuff but do different ones make the guitar sound different or could I just get some cheap ones? One more thing idk if it makes a difference or not but right now I play through a marshall jmp mastervolume head with a marshall tv cab with 25watt celestion greenback reissues but Im planning on getting a plexi type amp sometime in the future when I have more money to spend. Sorry this was so long but I was just hoping to get all my questions answered.
