A few minutes ago my wife hands me a box with the three pickups from my Peavey Raptor.
Says to I "Do these need to be in the bathroom?"

Im looking at different half stacks, and all the options are crazy. Who needs 6 channels and things like that? I need a couple of channels, and some thick distortion. Im thinking of either a Marshall DSL 100, a Carvin V3, or a Mesa Boogie, or something along those lines. The music I will be ...

I am considering changing the pickups in my USA Deluxe Strat, sss and S1, and want a humbucker in the bridge position. Are the humbuckers that fit in a single coil space the same as a regular humbucker or is there a downside to using them? My cavity is routed to hold a real humbucker and I can ...

If I want to get overdrive from my amp do I crank up the volume but but reduce the master volume. Or do I increase the gain and reduce the volume but increase the master volume?
I have a Marshall MG50fx that has gain volume and master controls. It has preset channnels for clean/ crunch and ...

I'm looking to improve on the sustain of my Clapton strat. My Am. Deluxe. would sustain for days, but the Clapton strat really doesn't as much. I've also noticed that it isn't quite as loud unplugged. Any special tips, ideas, snide remarks?

Ive got a HWY1 conversion bridge I bought about a year ago, used it for a couple of weeks and then went back to vintage spacing.
This bridge has vintage bolt spacing but modern string spacing and is somewhat unique to the HWY1...but can be used on anything with vintage bolt spacing.
This ...

Karl from California here. I've already been informally introduced through a few earlier posts but thought I'd make it official here. I've been playing off and on since the late sixties (guitar and keyboards) and a Fender Standard American Strat was my first purchased guitar. Previously I had ...

When I get really depressed I put on The Final Cut or The Wall. Like today I found out my girlfriend is moving to Texas, and I've listened to The Wall, and now I am working on The Final Cut. Anyone else do this with any other album?

Hello and help!
I have a 2008 Fender Eric Clapton Stratocaster and I want to install high output pickups on all three positions (the Virual Vintage Solo by Dimarzio) and as far as I know I have to upgrade the pots from 250K to 500K. The "problem" is that this Fender Stratocaster ...

I spent a lot of time and money looking in the wrong places to get this sound out of my 3 single coil American Series Strat.Many of you probably have known this for years, but for those who don't I am advising you to use the pickup selector #2 which is the combined bridge/middle pickups.Why I ...

good evening. my name is Charlie, and I just happened to stumble across this forum thanks to Google. I have a 1998 black MIM strat loaded with hot noiseless pickups. I'm going to be switching them out for some GFS Alnico II Staggered Vintage pickups; the hot noiseless just don't give me the ...

I've always found this guitar interesting, it's history and conception are an interesting story.
The one thing that's missing from the story is how difficult it was for Fender to make this guitar.
I read somewhere that they had to keep replacing bits from the tools because this material kept ...

I have found a revalation. Plug straight into your amp via a tuner of course and play around with the clean and dirty channels. It sounds amazing and true tone.
Anybody else out there doing the same and just using the sound/tone from the pickups and a little mannipulation of gain, volume and ...

Do any right handers out there play a left handed Strat in an effort to get a tone like Hendrix? I think just for kicks when my money isnt so damn funny I might get a left handed Strat and try it out to see how it sounds. Anyone tried this? Cheers.
