So a year ago I took my Black Les Paul custom and changed the pickups out. At the time I had 3 USA Jacksons all with Duncans installed. I was never really impressed with them, they always sounded muddy to me. So I decided to throw in an EMG 81 in the bridge and a 60 in the neck of my LP. At the same time because I didn't like the way the gold hardware looked with the all black EMGs i changed all the hardware out to black. The end result is an amazing looking guitar. Really one of the coolest I've seen. So in recent weeks I've been messing with my USA Mockingbird and Bich and finally get them situated each with a Custom in the bridge and a jazz in the neck. Needless to say I'm in love with my Riches now. For the first time in the last 3 months I picked up my LP with the EMGs (I also have an all stock '89 LP Custom that has never needed adjustment. the pickups rock in that thing) and I was completely disappointed. Doesn't have nearly the tone or quality of the Duncans in my Riches. This used to be my number 1. Having sold all the original hardware switching it all back out and gettin gold covered Duncas is out as it would cost me well over $800 to restore it to original. Looks like I have a nice piece of furniture. Speaks volumes to my love of the Duncans now but kinda sucks that this guitar is lame by comparison...

I blew-up a thread earlier in which I tried to say too much and became a mess.

Well, even though i am currently gassing over a certain schecter.... I am also looking into seven strings because, i find myself tuning down to dropped D alot to get more low end, but also, alot of the songs i play are in standard.
Do you think it is a good investment for me to get a seven string, instead of tuning to drop d most the time(for the heavy stuff).

Here's the file:

Is their any place besides warmoth,that I could get a 24 3/4 scale neck for a washburn x-40 pro?Warmoth only does fender strats.

I really like the sound I'm getting from my amp when I'm at a 45 degree angle (the way a mic would be set up). But, when I stand in front of the cabinet (slanted, with V30s) it sounds thin. Would a Weber Beam Blocker help to make the amp sound good at every angle? Would the 45 degree angle sound change drastically? Thanks!

i saw that TattooedCarrot has some emg p-90s (p-85s actually) in his PRS soapbar SE so after asking him about them i decided to be a sinner and stick EMGs p-90s in the schecter i traded with xeromus for. here is the result...it not only looks sweet, it sounds killer too!! it's a pair of eg p-85s. this thing sounds killer now...fat, mean and agressive with tons of clarity/articulation even in drop D. i strung it up with a set of 10-52s and played it in E and drop D and it sounds great in both but i think it may now become my main drop D guitar!

My AC30 seems to have lost much of it's beautiful reverb after a transport from North- to South-Norway. I tried replacing the reverb tubes, which only helped a little. In addition to this, the reverb is now very noisy. When I carry it around, I can hear the springs rattling inside. Have the springs quot;fallen offquot; or something? If so, how do I fix it?

I wouldnt mind hearing the emg 81, duncan distortion or the jb,. thanx and rock on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Hey!

Anyone use/have experience with one of these? And why do they cost $120?? Why is Gibson so annoying like that?

Guys chime in, is it worth selling my Crate VFX5112 and buying one *maybe two* blues juniors? I want an amp that will break up nicely and take pedals well . . . CHIME IN PLEASE GUYS!

Since P90s are already single coils and are naturally brighter than humbuckers, would an aluminum bridge and tailpiece be overkill? I play a lot or rock and stuff most people would call punk.

To those here with more then 3 guitars , how do u guys mantain so many guitars at once? I mean, changing strings, cleaning em and so on.... wont it be a real big hassle?

Is there a way to take my Floyd out and put in a fixed bridge? Are there any models out there that utilize the same posts? Thanks....

anyone play any of the new ibanez RGs with the edge III trem? how's the trem, can it take a good quot;beatingquot; of dive bombs and pull ups and stay in tune? i tend to fear some ibanez trems (trs junk) and just wanted to know how good or bad this newer trem is. thanks.

What modifications, if any, could and should be done to a blues jr. to make it sound even better?

Invasion From Planet K my CD that has been delayed forever is finally ready for public consumption. I am very proud of the disk and can finally exhale after all the out of my hands stuff that held up the CD. I am selling it directly through my Soundclick.com site which has a slick Paypal system in place. The album is 10 tracks of instrumental guitar. Kind of a cross of Jeff Beck and early VH styles with plently of twists. Here are a couple tracks. The price is 11.50 including shipping ( US )
