Can anyone tell me what the specially formulated oil finish is on halen's unfinished maple necks? Is it really just tung oil?

I think I'm going to build/assemble, an axe. I've got my eye on a body and a neck. What I am looking for is basic hardware. I want some locking tuners (Grover preferably), a Tele style control plate, knobs, hardtail Strat style bridge, saddles, and a neck plate. I think that is all. If you have any parts you want to get rid of, let me know. I have pickups to trade: 2 '59n, a JBJ, and possibley a Duncan Dist. or another JBJ- not sure whick I'm gonna keep. I will also buy. Thanks!

I'm using D'addario XL.11s right now and I'm not too fond of the thickness. The tension is great though, I can tune low, no problems. It's just the thickness. Does a company make .10s with the .11s' tension? I'd then probably get a set of these and change the low E for a .50.

Hopefully someone can help me out with this...
I have a (Korean import) Hamer SATF archtop. It has a Gibson-style bridge and tailpiece (although they are cheap Korean versions). I get a very noticable buzzing from the saddles (it appears to be the saddles, anyhow), especially noticeable when I'm not plugged in... any suggestions?

... just the strat pups and necessary hardware. I've got a lefty Mexican strat that I keep down at my parents in FLA so I have something to play when I visit. But I can't stand the stock pups... yuk! So I'm looking to upgrade. I'd be willing to take anything that sounds better than the Mexican ones.

I just got a Les Paul Classic loaded with these pickups and they are really good sounding.The one in the neck is really really good sounding....this is what I wanted my '59 to sound like but it wasn't even half as good. It's creamy and smooth but without the boomy bottom end of the '59. It's got more of a singing sweet top end as well...just very sweet sounding overall.In the bridge it's a little underpowered for my taste and a touch too vintage and loose but it's still good for classic rock.
Anyone else like these?? Stupid question but what are the closest Duncans/Dimarzios to these?

Has anyone tried their thruster boost pedal?

I went out today to a fe choice shops and at one of my regular stops they coundn't show me the Diezel amp fast enought...I played through a Herbert and a VH4, and i have to be honest...I was less that in impressed with both of them! I played through a VHT Ultra lead that was right next to the Diezels and the VHT killed them both IMO...
