I stopped into a pawn shop yesterday close to my house and they had a MIM Strat with a maple fretboard and sunburst finish hanging in the window. It has exactly the same appointments as my Tele which really attracted me to it. When I picked it up I was amazed because the neck was really similar to my beloved Tele. The guitar is in excellent condition and after a string change I am sure it would play great. Should I drop the $229 they are asking for it or is that high for a MIM Strat?

I was in my attic earlier looking for something and i stumbled across the origional guitar case my guild S60D came in all tattered and beat up, so i go to move it and it's heavy...hmmmm. i was all confused and had no idea what was in it. so when i opened it up and...this gem was in the case! it's a late 80's Guild Burnside Blade. there was a bag of spare parts in the case with it. i forgot back around 1995 or so my friend Anthony gave me the guitar since he had no idea how to play. it was a bit damaged from him just tossing it around and other beating on it when they were at his house. it needed some parts and i had no clue how to fix it back then but i took it anyway with hopes to one day have it fixed or learn how to fix it. i guess i forgot about it and it's sat for years in the case in the attic. anyway i took it down through in a duncan designed JB pickup i had did a ghetto fix to the horrid tremlo to lock it down, oiled the board (it was real dry) and gave it new life. it's missing the special platic ring that goes around the switch so i couldn't get one to fit...thus the tape over the switch and second knob hole lol. it's pretty beat up and has some cracks around the edge where the carved top meets the main body wood but she plays ok now. also there is no neck or middle pickup in it, just the covers since the pickups were missing from the case and it only had covers with it. regular singles wouldn't fit the covers so i went with just the covers to hold the spot for now. i was also missing a few screws for the pickup rings so i worked with what i had lol. anyway, that's a ton of babble but, i can't believe i forgot about this poor thing for so long...

Just be honest i'm playing a simple riff, i just want you to judge the tone. (for metal)

Hi guys,

Okay fellow forumites, the time capsule thread is official.(thanks admins)
Just list the following info and prepare to laugh in the years to come

Hello. I'm new hear. I thought maybe someone could give some coments on the Seymore Duncan Jeff Beck ( JB ) humbucker... I've had one for like ten years, but I don't have any references on other SD. I like it a lot. It has survived many pickups over the years. I have another question; Is there a Seymore Duncan pickup that matches the one that Edward Van Halen had rewound in hus early days?

Hey,
was wondering if any of you guys can help me out. I have a problem with humbuckers and metal covers. I tried out a SD 59 and SD JB set for my second guitar, which is an old Ibanez Les Paul Custom. The guitar sounded great. Then I tried some old Gibson T-Tops on it and got a weird result. These pickups came from an old Gibson Les Paul Custom and sounded great on it. But when putting them on my Ibanez they started giving me weird hi noises - kinda like microscopic feedback when picking a note. Now the pickups tend amplify every move I make - even when someone speaks in rehersal room - ei gets amplifeid. When using gain from my Soldano - I get instant really awful feedback. Just what could I have done wrong by intsalling the pickups?

These will be applied to an Ibanez Universe. Quick recap for those non-Ibanez freaks:

I've got a 500K Volume Pot and a Hot Rails strat pup, will this work right or should I get a 250K pot?
Just need info real quick before I wire it up. currently don't have an electric guitar to play...

After buying '69 JMP head and an early '65 Marshall cabinet dirty cheap i decided to restore those things a bit.Anyone here was doing some minor restorations?And what's the best place to buy some things for it (castors,tolex,grille cloth,logos...)?I know that there are some people in US that could restore it,but i'm far from US.

Is someone ever gonna tell this assweed that there are NO SCALLOPS on this thing? And I've never heard of a company called quot;G-ibsonquot;

Hi guys.. I posted the other day and told you that I was in the process of getting a used Ibanez RG450, but I think I made a mistake, or actually the seller made a mistake and it's a RG 550 as I looked all over the web and even at a couple Ibanez web sites and couldn't find any mention of a RG model 450.. but found a ton of 550 stuff.. This one seems to be made in 1998, and I thought it had the cheap TRS trem, but it seems maybe it's an edge or low pro edge.. Can anyone tell me the difference? See the pic at from : localhost/209.200.112.112.temp/i.jpg ) It's not a great pic, but you can see it there at least.. What's the difference and does it matter as far as quality? I take it the low pro is just a lowered version so you don't hit it with your hand? I ask all this as I had a 470 RG I think it was, and the trem wasn't that good so I blocked it, and stuck new pups in it, and it sounded great.. I loved the neck on it too and it's the same as this one, except this one is even better as it's maple! I'm thinkning about getting a new reverse headstock maple neck made at USA Custom guitars.. They said they might be able to do it.. It would be different in radious and thickness as well as having some carbon rods inserted like Carvin's which helps greatly with sustain.. I'm convinced that it does anyway.. I'm also going to direct mount the pickups in this guitar.. So I'll have a killer blues / rock machine when I'm finished I hope!

Hi all, I have a Jackson equipped currently with two classic stacks and a JB. I originally thought that the stacks weren't doing it, but I'm thinking that maybe it's the JB that has got to go. I'd like to delve into the realm of lower output pups and I'm looking for a replacement hum for the bridge.

As part of the face lift I'm giving my Warmoth, I was going to sink the screws. I bought some nice 5/8quot; washers from stewmac and a 5/8quot; drill bit thinking I'd just sink the washers right in (the washers are thick enough to hide the screw head). Everything just arrived, and it turns out I don't quite have enough space between the neck hole and the side of the neck for everything to fit, so I guess I'm going to be repositioning the screw holes by about an eight of an inch. Can someone walk me through filling the old holes? What would I use? Will this end up being strong enough structuraly if the new holes slightly overlap the old ones?

Hey guys...

My eight year old niece wanted me to teach her to play guitar. I got a real cheap 3/4 classical guitar for her and this afternoon I tried to give her a lesson.
It didn't go well.

Hi, I'm new. I have a really old MXR Distortion that seems to have a bad pot or two. The switch is really dirty and the jacks are old and dirty too (almost 30 years old). I was looking at and found that I'd probably use dunlop jacks and the switch that looks right. But I don't know the value of the pots on effects pedals like the distortion plus. If someone could let me know that'd be great. Also if there's anything else I need to know about jacks or anything I welcome your help. If you don't think I should solder it myself then tell me that too and let me know who I can get to do it. Thanks you guys.

Hey guys. I really need to get into some Jazz. Can you guys give me some of the bigger names in jazz (guitar)? I know of John Scofield and Joe Pess, but that's it. I just need the Satriani's, Vai's and Hendrix's of Jazz Guitar, to get myself rooted, and then I'll get into it some more.
