after being told not to reroute my guitar for humbuckers..i wanted to ask if anyone could tell me about single coil humbuckers..im looking for a nice heavy sound.. im looking to make this guitar like a shred guitar like paul gilbert, evh and ynwie but also like to play metallica and such..can anyone suggest
a single coil humbucker that would be good?? also someone is it worth to get a custom wound one..thanks
A JB Jr at the bridge, Vintage Rails in the middle, and Cool Rails in the bridge will get you in the ballpark of the sounds you mentioned. Perhaps for a Hotter bridge tone, you might be better served with a Hot Rails, though the lower gain tones will suffer.

Hey. I'm about to record vocals on this track and do a couple extra parts, but the song needs a guitar solo. Anybody feel up to it? If you do something sweet i'll use it, but only with your permission. Thanks

And the results kicked a$$! I bought a bridge and neck set of these a little over a year ago, I could only find 1 review on HC and there wasn't much here either but I bought them anyway being as I've got a soft spot for weirdo gear that hardly anybody else uses. I always liked them for their tone, clarity, and articulation, the neck pup is perfection but the bridge pickup was kinda getting to me, it just didn't have enough mids, especially upper mids and it kinda lacked balls. I found that I was always reaching for my sd-1 to use as a clean boost with these, which worked well but there's kinda that x-factor missing as opposed to plugging straight into my amp. Well I decided that a magnet swap was in order, I emailed SD to see what was in it and I got a quick and polite response telling me that it was an A5. Well it turns out theres two A5's in this thing because each of the blades is a magnet. I ended up changing the one in the coil closest to the bridge to a ceramic one. Holy crap! What a changed beast, it was like adding a set of 50lb steel balls to em. They now have more crunch, more mids, a bit more bass, which is still tighter than any other pickup I own, and the only draw back is that it gave some more highs as well, but that was no biggie, just a roll back on the treble knob to cure that. I wouldn't really want these in a bright guitar but mines a mahogany neck thru so it works well. I play mainly metal but I think that this pup could be good for other stuff that's not quite as agressive too. I wouldn't reccomend this for someone who isn't into very precise pups but then again if that were the case I wouldn't reccomend the sh-9 in the first place. But if anybody's already got one that's collecting dust this may really be worth trying, you get the tone of A5 and ceramic in a very tight, focused, and agressive sounding package. So far, so really damn good, I haven't had a chance to really crank my amp, it's too late here, but I got her breathing pretty good and I can tell this one is a winner for sure. Sorry for the long winded babble, hope it was worth the read.
I've never heard of the SH-9... when were they made?
They were made in the late 80's I believe, I think they were made for some special edition les paul. They look just like a custom shop Iommi but they are quite a different beast altogether.

Guitar:
Hamer Archtop (import, Korea). Blueburst Finish, rosewood board, dot markers, cream binging, Duncan Designed pups (distortion set, sounds damn good). Upgraded to Schaller Locking Tuners. Only one small scratch on the top near the neck pup...you have to look close to see it. It was there when I bought it. GREAT guitar for the $$ if you are looking for the double cutaway mahogany body/maple top guitar. I paid $275 10 months ago, put $40 into the tuners. $300 shipping CONUS
Amp:

What kind of guitar capos do you all find to work best? The spring loaded kind or the screw-tight kind?
I use the Shubb. I like the fact that you can vary the tension to your liking. It was like $12 or something?

Poison
Mr. Van Halen used it on some stuff, Panama and Judgement Day to name a few.

Hi,
So I figured how to make a pedalboard. All that was left to do was mod some of my pedals for true bypass switching. And guess what, my prized little buggers such as the Guyatone Vintage Tremolo and Wah Rocker are too small to fit the DPDT switch necessary for true bypass switching in them. Oh well.
What do I do?

a JB (bridge) quarter pound (mid) and jazz (neck). I dont need a tone control for the middle pickup if that makes any difference. this is going into a strat style guitar thatll have one master volume, one tone for the neck and one for the bridge. anyone?
I would start with 500k. That'll retain a little more high end clarity with your fatter, higher output pickups. Some people like a little dullness to tame the scream factor of the JB, but you can downgrade to a 300k or 250k tone pot if you get your ears pierced and let some of that trickle off to ground. I would stay with a 500k neck tone control, just to avoid mud.
Hope this helps.

Hey guys, I have an Epiphone SG G-400 for sale or trade. I've put a lot into it to get it to play and sound great (and it really does), but I just can't get used to the shape of an SG unfortunately. It has Grover tuners, a pro installed bone nut, and graphtech saddles. It currently has a Phat Cat bridge pickup which I could include, or exclude. The guitar itself in great shape. Only a few impressions into the finish and a few scratches on the back. Almost no fretwear. For trades, I'm looking for interesting strats, teles or anything with p-90s. PM me for pics or more info.
I also have an Ibanez RG520QS (blue) for trade. It's in nice shape as well.
