software

I'm replacing all the pickups, switches, pot and knobs. The pup's will be black, so what color guard and knobs should I shoot for. The tuners and locking nut are chrome. What do you think will look good?Get a mirror guard and knobs.

Hahaha well its not my les paul its me that keeps breaking them...but im suspecting it might have something to do with sharp saddles or something. It keeps breaking high e's and b strings, and sometimes g strings. Very frequently...this high e lasted about a week i think! And im not bending like crazy or playing really overly hard.

OK, I'm still Jonesin' for a Shiva, but I know it's way more amp than I need, power-wise, and fear that it might largely be wasted due to volume constraints. So I keep reading and looking for a lower output quot;substitutequot; but with no opportunity to play any other candidates, well it just plain stinks. Throw me a bone on this one guys! Offer me some suggestions based on what you've had opprtunity to audition.

I played a LP standard yesterday at Guitar Center. Wow did it sound amazing!! It had the 50s neck.. They had the same axe with the 60s neck, but do to time restraints, I didnt get to play that one.I did feel the neck . I was expecting a big dif, but I really couldnt feel any.. One felt alittle deeper into my palm.. Which is the most like a new studio in shape??Thankss

anyone interested in selling a kyser capo? i would prefer a cut one, if not i just want one i can cut myself, pm me if you've got an extra one lying around.

I have one in my steinberger GR4R and wow that thing adds some beef to the already fat 85. Its like a tone control or somthing but all the way up it boosts the low and high end.

Old Style Cool Rails Bridge pup in White - will sell for $45 shipped in the US.

Well, during the next couple a months im getting myself a gift( because im working) either a new amp or guitar, i already made a thread for an amp awhile back. Now per say i buy a guitar, it will be my guitar that is more suited for metal(Iron Maiden, Jag Panzer to anything from Pantera to Candlemass). I am thinking of a Jackson of some sort, pup configuration will most likely be HxH or HSS. What is a good choice for this kind of guitar?(I want a Floyd of some sort too)

Whats your prefered acoustic tone wood? I knwo msot people won't answer this as this is a mroe electric forum but ya. I liek maple alot, but mahagony comes in close second. Maple just seems to have a better voice to me.

Hi!

I am building a solid body guitar from scratch (thanks to Melvyn His**** and Martin Koch for their terrific books), and I am at the stage of drawing blueprints. I have been all over the SD site, FAQs, and this forum and can find nothing to help me get further along in my designing. I plan on using the Antiquity P-90s with soap-bar covers in both the neck and bridge positions. The salient facts I need are:
- How deep do I need to route the pocket into the face of the guitar? FYI, the guitar will have a carved top of quilted maple, just like a 'Paul. - What is the string spread on each (i.e. how far apart are the pole pieces on each pickup)?

My Yamaha electric guitar was grand until the input jack popped off. Since then I've SaudereD(SP?) the white and black wires multiple times and am thinking about just getting it professionally done after being tired of having it crack and pop. It's strange because my copper guitar cable works with it used with the amp and my 2 raptor cables don't. I'm assuming the copper cable picks up the weak signal while the silver/chrome cabe ends don't. The raptor cables used to work. Any ideas? What would you guys recommend? I'm running short on the white and black input jack cable thanks to resaudering it so many times, should I take my beat up cheap yamaha strat copy to a tech?

Whats the difference for strat pick ups? What does it mean? Just that the pole pieces are staggered/higher in the middle of the pup? I'm a single coil nooob!!!!!

I am willing to trade my ibanez gsa20 electric guitar for a brand new still in package jb tb-4 pickup plus the price of shipping. Its a great guitar, i paid 220 for it. My pickup went bad in my main guitar so its urgent i get another one. HOT BUY, I DOUBT YOULL FIND ANOTHER DEAL LIKE THIS AGAIN.

Has anyone replaced a stock tele bridge pickup with a single coil for strat?
Although they mount differently I'm sure someone has, I want to put in a JB Jr. - I don't want the hot rail for tele, I have the lipstick pickup in the neck and love it.

Hi all,

Im thinking about getting one and I want to amplify it with a crate powerblock using it just as a power amp...does anyone use this setup? does it work well? thanks

from : localhost/found it while Googling(is that a word?) Lot's of good stuff on there!

I tried to post a link yesterday to a picture of the inside of an Air Norton for clairification on that subject. For those of you that were interested here's a link to that picture.

I was just reading that thread started by Deftgala about what would happen if you pulled out a power amp valve. Very interesting stuff. When the conversation turned to what each volume/gain control actually does I got a little lost. I'm gonna explain the layout of my amp and would really appreciate someone explaining it all to me. I thought I understood but I'm not so sure now.
