my fender j-craft thinline special will be here next thursday!

I'm looking for new pickups for my Squier strat. I want it to sound like a Les Paul and then an SG with the flip of a switch and to retain normal American strat tone. What pickups do you recommend?
(joke)

I've had a few questions on my site shredaholic.com about scalloping fretboards (as Yngwie Malmsteen did this), does anyone know enough about the process so I can put a tutorial for it on my site? And, if somebody has the 'scallopwned' pic I think I may have a use for that too

I ordered the quot;Everything Axe Setquot; a couple of days ago from Musicians Friend and I am anxiously waiting on it to arrive. I bought these for my 1957 USA Re-Issue Stratocaster (White Blonde / Ash Body / Maple Neck). I love everything about this guitar, and it has grown such a part of me that I literally probably wouldn't change it for an original, but the only thing I wasn't getting along with was the pickups. Im into guys like Steve Vai and Jason Becker and Satriani and the rest of the gang, and I needed a higher output pick up, to get more of a shred tone, just the hard driven tone I am looking for. At first I thought of doing a complete overhaul and going with a HSH configuration, but then I saw this Everything Axe Set that includes the JB JR for the bridge, the Duckbucker in the mid, and the Little 59 for the neck so I thought I would give that a shot. I ordered through the magazine, and when I went on MF to see the ratings (AFTER I ORDERED) I saw that they were pretty poor (granted there have only been three ratings). This has kind of made me a little nervous about my decision. Would I be better off sending these back before opening them and inquiring to SD about some custom shop pickups? Or will I be perfectly content with these. Much thanks for helping me with my first post, I'll appreciate any help I can get!!! --Wilkie--
PS: If anyone has any good links for wiring guitars or could help me out let me know, its something I would like to be able to do myself if possible for me to do a professional job, if not Ill take it in somewhere.

Hi,

I promised stratman that after I got his amp I'd post a review...I'm about a few days too late to meet his one-week requirement but I've been a busy guy lately so I hope this will suffice.I've spent a few hours with this amp and have been having a good amount of fun with it. My first impression is: bass. Yeah, this thing can get a crazy amount of bass, but it never gets to the point where it is muddy, even when I'm playing through a lousy neck pickup.

I'm in search of a replacement Jackson KE3 neck.. I havn't yet contacted Jackson (partly because they dont have a UK HQ... atleast that i'm aware of) but they should do replacement necks right? Or... are there any other websites or shops I should be looking into?

What are the differences in distourtion? Is one more for like modern tone and metal stuff and the other more classic rock?

Hey guys, I've been looking at getting a Mesa 2X12 Recto cab to go along with my Tremoverb combo. I figured they're good cabs and it would match my combo. However, I've been contacted by a person selling a Splawn 2X12 in my area (southwestern Ontario, Canada) for $545 USD with pickup. This cab is only 3 months old and looks to be in great shape.

I already have a 92 stingray that has a Basslines Pickup in it but I heard there a couple different ones? how can I tell which one is in mine and just for the record which one is the most popular MM style from ? thanks for any info..

from : localhost/cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...MESE:ITamp;rd=1This is my American BC Rich Mockingbird Archtop Supreme. Take a look and pass it along.

I hear good things about all these. I hear that a DS-1 modded is like having a $200 OD pedal.

Alright guys, a guy here in town I was talking to (good buddy of mine, owns a guitar shop..his son and I play in several blues bands together)....has an old Vox Berklee cab that he had Vox 10quot; Bulldog speakers put in. I don't know anything about these speakers but I do know that I LOVE the tone of 10quot; speakers...now 12quot; speakers are ok, but man I love 10quot; so I was thinking about getting this cab and running it from the cabinet out of my Mesa/Boogie and running the 12quot; celestion in my combo and the 10quot; bulldogs in the cab, but I wanted some info on these speakers before I go doing that. Anyone know anything about them?

Well, I walked into GC today hoping to buy a Gibson Les Paul Faded DC that I liked the last time, but to my surprise it had sold. I'm taking this as a sign that I should be looking around more for p90 guitars. I played an Ibanez JS700 that was surprisingly good (liked it more than the PRS SE and Epi Goldtop).

Ok, this one has no electric guitar, but tons of guitar synth...and the delay thead in the other room prompted me to demonstrate the way I use long delays.
The nylon guitar is 1 track, although I looped it with a Digital Echoplex in real time (about a 10 second loop)...that is, I played a phrase, let it repeat and added more to it, then finally 'punched out' of the loop and played the melody, with adding subtle things to the loop as it went on. After that guitar was recorded, I added the orchestral stuff- piano, cello, strings, bells, etc...the harp is a real harp I own, and kinda play a bit...it is a nylon string folk harp. This was written for a friend's digital art portfolio (she is a photgrapher), and she needed some background music for her powerpoint presentation. Sorry it is a zip file, but I wanted her to be able to d/l it rather than stream.

I have an old Gibson pickup from a 1986 Les Paul Custom-how much would it cost to have SD rewind the pickup to EVH ('78) specs, and change the magnet assuming the stock magnet is wrong?

HI, I received my Pearly Gates neck pickup for my Les Paul today, in stalled it per the instructions, nothing. I reinstalled my Gibson pickup AND a different Gibson pickup both worked fine.

Hey guys...Here's another Modded MP1 Clip. I'm trying to mess around with my ghetto fabulous recording setup and at least get it to produce something near decent results I didn't really mess with the MP1's tone controls too much though, I dialed the gain and bass down, but there's still a ton on tap, so I'm gonna work on making it cleaner/crisper next time.

There new ibanez guitars any good? I took a good few months break from serious playing and practicing but i caught the disease again and i'm wanting a new guitar. I dont think i can last much longer on a Dean Evo Special. Its pretty but wont shred well SO...anyone know about this new series? They have infinity pickups instead of powersound. I'm looking at the RG370DX and the S470. How are the quality on the EDGE III trems? Ok enough questions. Thanks

I'm looking for a small body semi-hollow guitar with P-90. I'm Looking at either a
