do metal covers reduce feedback?

Whats your favorite tone from these artists...

I maybe looking to unload some parts.... I used to make homemade strats and teles and over the years i had bought many different bridges and now have a few sitting around that i never used....

I actually had a very pleasurable experience FOR THE FIRST TIME at the quot;GuiTargetquot; (LOVE THAT!) yesterday while checking out the Lonestar Special.

Based on majorly bad checking that occurred in transport on my Warmoth neck this last weekend, I’m a little leery about getting a neck from them right now since cold weather has set in. The thought of a freshly laquered neck sitting on a UPS truck in freezing temps is very appealing.

I have an Epiphone “Joe Pass” which I have upgraded with ’59 pickups. I play this guitar a lot and considered it worth the expense but the upgrade has only partly been successful. The bridge pickup is perfect; it delivers the cleanest jazz tone I could wish for. The neck pickup however far too twangy, so much so that I don’t like the sound and therefore do not use it.

I know I'm opening up a can of worms by posting this,but:

Just thought that it might intrest one or two guys here what it is I am doing
Not meant as spam or promotion, just sharing with my guitarcrazy bro's!

The saddles on my Tonepros TOM are rattling quite noticably when I hit strigns fairly hard (most noticable on G string), is there anything I can do to stop this?

I just posted my Quick Rod and 4x12 on the Trading Post. Im pretty bummed out about it but i lost my job and no longer have the money to keep much of my gear and still make my car payments and insurance etc. I never even got to gig out with it! My band has been on not doing much for months largely because my band members whom i have jammed with since i picked up the guitar have started to resent me. I know that sounds really egotistical of me to say that, but thats really the main reason. When we started out my band members had been in other bands and were very proud of there talents. I really looked up to them and was flattered that they were willing to ask me to be in there band when i was only 15 at the time and they were 17 and 18 and had been successful for years. I had only played for a year and a half or so but they were willing to take the chance. Within a year we were getting gigs all over and my playing seemed to improve exponentially as time went on. Eventually people started to pay more attention to me and less to them. This kinda bugged me and bugged them even more. Somehow they seem to think its my fault that im getting so much attention from people. I have always made it a priority to put the band and the song first and not my playing. But i will always play the best i can and try to keep learning and getting better. The problem is that while i continue to grow in leaps and bounds as a guitarist, they seem content to stay as they are as musicians. I am even going to major in music. Everything finally exploded just as we were about to finally record a CD because the demand had become to high for us to ignore. So i never even got to use the Splawn stuff live! Well, now i guess ill be able to do my own thing and finally record some stuff, even if i have to do it all myself...

I've got in the habit of doing it every string change. It makes the frets smoother feeling to my fingers, and it helps out with smoother bends. It's also nice to have fretwire shine at you!

We have a B.C.Rich Beast in for a guts swap,(Zakk Wilde EMG set).
Pretty straight ahead stuff.

ok.. i cant decide, so you guys are up... (time to build up some gas for the fellow metal heads)

How would it sound if i rotated all of my pickups so the stagger is backwards?

These are the stock pickups from my Agile AL-2500. Chrome covered, screws and springs included.

I have a Squier Tele Custom,nice guitar btw, and i was wondering if anyone knows which Duncan Designed p'ups are in it. I emailed SD but they said i would have to pull the pickguard and look at the back of the pickups. So if anyone knows or has this guitar could tell me what they are and save me some work it would be much appreciated.

Hello all, listen, I'm new to this whole guitar painting business. I got an older schecter (A-1) and I sanded all the paint off with 120 grit sandpaper. I'm gettin the color and clear coats applied professionally, but I have to prome it myself. My question is, what primer do i use, and where do I get it (i would prefer to use an aerosol if possible) any advice a big help.

hey folks

So I've had my paul for a while, and have the thing adjusted all the way down. Seems logical that this would be the best position for more sustain/resonance whatever, but I've heard some information stating otherwise.

Other than Ibanez and some of the Fender's, who makes some or all of their guitars in Japan? I've found that as a general rule, (but not always), Japanese made guitars are perhaps a little bit better, or at least more consistent with their quality than Korea or China. I own 1 Japanese Ibanez now, and just got lucky finding a brand new Japanese made Charvel Traditional from AMS, which I should have tomorrow. I'm now on the lookout for other Japanese made stuff. Any help?
