i've been searching for one of these for years after i have played a friends hamer chapparal custom with mahogany body, set neck and emg pickups. Amazing sustain and a very full sound. I am still trying to make him sell it to me but i don't think he's gonna change opinion anytime soon .... Problem is that they seem to be very rare...in the last couple of years i have only came across 2-3 over ebay....things are even worst cause i am searching for the 24 3/4 scale version which was only made during 86-87. Has anyone had any experience with a chapparal and what are the most common problems on them????repaired neck joints?headstocks?

Fellow forum bro Richard is building a quot;Wolfgang/Axisquot; project guitar and he wants a Flame finish like one of these on the body...does anyone here do this type of work or can they highly recommend someone they know for him!?

I'm getting a Dunlop crybaby wah wah (the original) on the net, a used one, and there's no cables included, so what cable do I need to plug it into my amp? what is it called?

I need some advice regarding practice amps. I’m looking at the following amps and any experience, good or bad, which you could share, would really help:

Alright guys, I'm looking around (not shopping yet, no money)...for a 15-20 watt tube amp and I just wanna make sure I'm looking at everything in the range I'm expecting.

Here is an updated pic from KMCguitars (Ken) of my new strat. The hardware is all Callaham gold....tuners and everything. Picguard is also Callaham.This is the inspiration for my strat:
My original plan was to go with a blue pickguard, but perhaps green or just staying white is the best plan. I am going with white covers on the singles. I've got APS flats for the neck and middle, and I haven't decided on a bridge pup yet.

I always loved the look of these guitars, just wondering if anyone has any experience with them. Thanks Bros!

hi, sorry for all my questions tonight

could you please order the above pickups based on their output from the one with the highest output to the one with the lowest? Basically it's the custom that confuses me as i was thinking that the ceramic magnet would compensate for the lower dc resistance, making the custom a higher output pickup than the JB?

is it just me, or are all the big name NOS tube dealers (Lord Valve and the like) not bothering to answer emails anymore? I've sent them over 10 emails and he won't respond with a catalog for me to order from.

I have a Charvel with a licensed floyd on it and it is a pain to tune.
Is there any secret to tuning them? Do the fine tuners start out all the way down or what. It p!sses me off when I try to tune it.

I am considering buying these circuits for my Lp (81/60) and was just curious to hear about your experience with them. Are they worth it? Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

I am having issues with foil tape. The guitar was already shielded with paint when I purchased it, but since some of the shielding has begun to wear, mostly due to my poor soldering skills. Everytime I touch the foil my guitar buzzes like no tomorrow. Is this normal? Kind of like touching a grounded wire? Am I not the ground? When I touch the strings it pop's from the hum, but the hum isn't bad, that's the confusing part. I'm not touching the foil at this point, but I thought these two issues might be related. Every ground is secure. Should I take the foil out of my input cavity? The foil is connected, no missing links. I am confused. I am offering a reward of 2 mints, and some pocket lint to the person able to answer this mystrey. Let me know!

well my Bassman is crapping out and needs new tubes and lately i've been wondering if a 68 Fender amp is really the amp for the sound i'm after. I notice my favorite tones are from Converge (vintage Marshall and Ampeg and like three distortion pedals) Leftover Crack (using a Peavey Butcher and a DS-1) and notice a lot of good tones coming from Mesa Boogie Rectifiers...

Hi,

I currently have a mini switch for the pickups wired in series BUT when the switch is engaged I have a problem in how the switch reacts to the 3 way switch. For example, when I flick the switch to series mode, I lose sound on the bridge at the 3 way. I then get the series sound on the middle and neck positions of the three way.
I think I have this wired up all wrong and am looking for a better solution.
