Do pup covers effect the sound of a pickup?

ive always been obsessive about my action and im always tinkering with it trying to lower it just a bit more only then having to put it back up so it plays well.

Hey guys,
I just purchased a rarely-used but poorly maintained early Japanese (1970s) Epiphone Riviera (a poor-man's 335). The pickups are installed reversed--the adjustable pole-piece screws are facing toward each other instead of pointing toward the bridge and neck, respectively. Furthermore, the pickup mounts appear to be reversed as well. The taller mounting frame was moved from the bridge position to the neck and visa versa. As a result, the neck PU is closer to the strings than original. Conversely, I suppose the bridge PU may be further from the strings than originally. With my Strat, if you run the pickups too high, the magnetic field interferes with the string vibration, stifling sustain and making it almost impossible to tune. The Epiphone's strings tune fine. Can you get too close with humbuckers?

Do todays solid color Fender Reissue bodies really have up to 7-piece bodies? And does that really affect the tone of that body in a major way?

If so, then how? Second channel? Speaker? What else?

******!!!

I just bougth a 1980's marshall 5010 from my uncle.... and i think my quest for tone is (almost) over

I bought some quot;Gerlitz Guitar Honeyquot; a week back and it arrived in the mail yesterday. Man is this stuff awesome. I cleaned my fretboard last night and applied it, and it looks brand new. Here is their site, with a better description of what it actually does:

Does anybody sell a blank control plate for Telecasters? Just a metal tongue depressor, with screw holes. For those of use who don't want the traditional switch slot. Drill it for just pots, or a Gibson style toggle switch.

from : localhost/try this again, without thinking of a vintage Memory Man. What was I on last night? Geez.

Help!

I was at a Sam Ash yesterday and I plugged a 72 tele custom into a Fender Blues Jr. to mess around for a little while...the amp sounded great. It was small (the catalogue said 22 watts but the site says 15?) and it could get some good overdriven Fender sounds at a really chill volume. Since I mostly play at home anyway, and my Bassman is too loud to use its tube overdrive, I'm thinking of a trade...

Anyone know what gauge strings Rammstein's guitarist uses?

I found out from the luthier today that he's going to cut the neck and body this week, and that he'll get the body out to be clear coated and the neck to his fret man by this weekend. They should be back to him by the following weekend, and ready to ship out to me to assemble the rest. That's great news, as I had expected a mid-June delivery as opposed to May.

I need some help before buyin' two SH-8,

Title says all.

Up for sale is my Marshall 2x12 JCM800 combo.

I've been looking for a great sounding PAF style bridge humbucker for duties within my Tokai PRS copy. I'm seeking a mid-gain, classic rock sounding guitar to contrast my high gain LP. I will be playing it through my Mesa Tremoverb. The stock pickups are actually quite good, and thus I will be keeping the neck in place, however I want to improve some on the bridge pickup. I tried a C-5 in there recently and it sounded very thin no matter what I did (pup height and screw height). I'm in the midst of possibly trading that pickup for a covered '59 and see how that does. What other pickups should I look at if I find I'm not satisfied with the '59 in the bridge? Feel free to suggest other brands (including boutique pups such as WCR, Fralin etc) and why you feel they would suit this situation.

I previously had a duncan designed jb pickup. I popped a dimebucker, i got more low end distortion, tighter top, nastier. Very expressive, but sometimes i cant handle it lol WHEW, its like hot sauce. Jesus. The reason i took the JB out was, not enough OOMPH on the low end, i emailed SD saying, i want the top end, but a chunkier bottom end. Dimebucker gave it to me, but i would prefer not as bitey. But i think if i had a alder NECK THROUGH, it would be better. Bolt on, bite, dimebucker, bite, its just, BITE ME IN THE ASS WHY DONT YA lol.
