I was simply adjusting the intonation on my bridge piece when the G string screw just stripped n crumbled like clay!! What the heck is with that?? What should I do about this! I want schecter to gimme not a crapola screw.

I sold a few guitars and decided to take a shot at an Edwards les paul. i got a brand new satin purple one shipped from japan and....it was one of the best guitar purchases EVER!! this thing is AMAZING. the finish quality, the fretwork, the binding (no paint bleed or anything) the ebony is BLACK not steaky. it weighs in under 9lbs, the neck is comfortable as can be (similar to a 60s les paul style) the neck is also real fast feeling with the satin finish. it's just an all around amazing guitar. the attention to detail on his guitar blows away a bunch of the new gibson les pauls i have played (keep in mind i just bought a '99 les paul standard also so i'm not bashing just being honest.) i was never real big on the emg 81s (the 85s are cool by me though) but in this guitar they actually sound pretty damn good. i'm going to try it at rehersal this week to see how i like it a full gig volume before i decide if a swap to 85s is needed.

Hi humbucker-powered-mahogany-slab lover,

I was quite happy when he told me about that earlier on the phone. Maybe someday we'll jam together.

Ok I know this might be a no brainer type of question but I want to read the why for it.....
I’ve owned a couple of Devilles , I recently acquired a 2x12 for a good priced…My thought about these amps has always been that they have a pretty good clean sound, with good amount of headroom, inexpensive…..The bad thing about them is that the OD channel is pretty bad…but nothing a pedal can fix using the clean channel…..I’ve read threads about it and about the Twin reverb….The twin reverb seems to be a better amp although I’ve read post of user complaining about how it does not like pedals (some pedals), other users say that’s impossible…..Now that I have the Deville I am thinking about moving the Deville and get a Twin reverb (at least a silverface one)…..But I don’t want to pass on the Deville just because of a couple of threads.. I want to read about specific comparisons between the two and why one is better than the other…..

cross between a '59 and a Seth. Any ideas on how I might get there?

ok, so a while ago i found this great example of my playing style online. (so i didn't have to record myself and post it) i'm lookin for a bridge pup (brand or magnet type dont matter) that will pull off that high end clearity as heard in the sound clip with my current rig (see below). but i also need the pup to be able to chug well on the bottom strings. there's got to be a pup that can pull this off. otherwise i might have to try making a hybrid out of a JB and an Ibanez AH2. here's the clip from the digitech website: clip (click play on the quot;modern britishquot; clip) for another example, listen to Joe Satriani - The Extremist especially the first 30 seconds or so.

the Body is white with a single angled humbucker. there is some dents on it, and a very small crack in one of the bridge screw holes, that has been repaired. the Khaller is black. missing the trem arm (didn't have it when I got it) and one of the bridge screws is very slightly bent, but still works just fine. pics upon request. $125 for everything

Ok.... i WAS gassing for a strat, luckily thats over. But now im looking for a hollowbody, i want something cheap and that i dont have to worry about being quot;carefulquot; with, i MAY swap pickups but thats it. This guitars go for 250 USD$ so that covers the cheap part, they pretty cool and basic looking, and they got good reviewd on HC, anybody on here got expierence with one of these guitars?

I just picked up a beat Fender 1981 Bullet. The pickups were replaced with old Dano lipstick tube pickups. Anybody have a guestimate of the going market rate for them? I'm planning on keeping them, I'm just wondering.

What pickup from SD (A2 or A5) has more low mids? I would guess the CC. What would you choose? Personally I think an A3 helps accentuate the low mids.

hey i have a rat for sale. i thought i already sold it to this kid, then i saw it in my box of pedals. so its up for sale now. im gonna go get some batteries for my camera today, or maybe ill just get a new camera, but i dont know if i want do drop $100 right now.. any ways, so its $90 new, i guess ill ask $40 plus shipping. will trade for some other cool pedal, maybe even a nice cable. (dimarzio, pw, zaolla, haha jk those ar elike 200 bucks) if you have any other cool trade ideas just pm me or somethin. my email is hrao06@gmail.com if you dont like pm'ing or something...

Is there any guitar better suited for swelled, delayed, phased, fuzzed out noise/space/ambient rock than a Tele? I've been jamming on the new '52 with any combination of the above for an hour now... I see why Syd chose one.

As you may know (or not) there are replacement fingerboards for Fender necks available... so my question is.. how do I actualle get off the old one?

I finally got my server back, so I am now ready to share with you the lovely used USA Strat I snatched up a few weeks ago. The folks in Corona did a damn good job on this one. Take a look:

Hey guys. I am thinking of getting a tube amp, or pretty much are, in a few weeks. Now I can't afford a Mesa, Engl, high end Peavy or any other $1,000 amp. I know that Steve Vai uses a Boss DS1 with his Carvin Legacy. Does he send the DS1 into the clean channel, or does he throw it ontop of the over drive channel? I am looking at getting a Fender Hot Rod or Peavy Valveking. I need good cleans for blues and good distortion for metal and progressive rock. Vai has a great distortion tone and if he mainly gets it through his Boss DS1, then I should have a good shot at getting a nice high gain tone through a cheaper tube amp with the right pedals. So does anyone know how he uses it? Thanks a lot guys.

Hi ho everyone,

Okay, I was down at the forums of ultimate-guitar, and this one guy did a cover of sum 41's hell song, jazz style. It's pretty cool, but obviously not as fast as the original version. Props to him!

i installed a little 59er in my tele bridge spot fairly recently...black to the selector switch (same spot as previous pickup) white and red togehter, silver and green together and grounded. I get this terrible you-didnt-ground-this-right noise (that diminishes whne i touch something grounded...) as well as when both the little 59er and the stock neck pickup are selected together (middle position) this nasally, out of phase sound. what did i do wrong/how can i fix this! this is sort of urgent, so hopefully i'll hear back soon! thanks in advance!

...given no knowledge or experience in the matter. Thanks in advance.
