68 reissue Strat with Dimarzio YJM's in the neck and mid with a Dimarzio HS3 in the bridge.
SKB type Hardcase.

Anyone make these? It would be cool to have a chrome or nickle plated metal cover. It would also help the greatly with the shielding.

this'll be my first new tube purchase, and i need some brief pointers.. because im in the UK, i'm fairly limited for choice..

Just bought a cheap ibanez RG350, plays great, but could do with a little more subtlety. Ive heard JB/59 in a Gamp;L mahog/maple, and it was best sound ive heard, but would it work in my RG? If not could anyone suggest others (even other brands!) Bear in mind I dont do the scooped metal thing, more Lifeson, Lizzy, Page etc. Thanks in advance.

Hi Guys,

I am seriously bothered by the crap fretboard I was handed on my quot;newquot; SG Classic. There are gouges along either side of the frets. I want to try and remedy this. I was thinking I could just sand off some of the face of the fretboard and then buff it out with some #0000 steel wool. It is probably only about 1/32 or 1/64quot;, not much but I'm not sure if will affect the feel. Any problems with this? Here are some pics of my awesome fretboard. Please don't laugh at me.
It shouldnt bother it. After I level and crown frets on a non-laquered board I use 300-2000 (working my way up) git paper then steel wool to polish everything. Just wrap the paper around you finger and work it up and down the board. It dosent take much effort and dont use one grit for that long. After than I oil the board and it look fresh and new. BTW, it will help crown you frets and make them look fresh also.

what is it?? which is the longest lasting string brand?

I've had my C-5 for a while now and I've always played it in my apartment at relatively low levels. Well, I've always noticed a humming type sound when I switch on he C-5 (it's in the bridge) and it gets a little better when I put it in the 2nd position (C-5 with JB Jr) and the 3rd position is almost completely quiet. The 3rd position's little bit of hiss/noise is something I would concider normal, and it gets even better on position 4 and at 5 (neck lil59) is like nothing.

After pulling out the 59N and trying the PGN....The two are pretty close..Oddly enough,the PGN seems pretty tight and clear with it's A2 magnet compared to the 59N A5...The PGN has more mids and is chimier on top,but it's still not lacking in the lows and is almost as boomy in the lows as the 59...

Where's that new Matchless 35? I want to hear about it ******!
