I don't know how many diy effects guys are in here, but this is worth a shot. I recently built a homemade fuzz face following these pages. http://www.geofex.com/Article_Folders/fuzzface/fffram.htm http://gaussmarkov.net/wordpress/tools/software/eagle/eagle/ I'm new to this kind of thing. I...

Are you positive about this? The wiring and magnets are still the same. I think you have to flip the connections to reverse the polarity. Also he's going to need to cut both coils if he wants a strat sound. What about an old dirtyfingers pickup? If you don't like it, you can sell it to me.

Yeah, I didn't feel like being too specific about pickups I've never heard. What's your take on their sound?

I'd be all about a natural explorer. I've been pleased with the Gibson ex's I've played. They look, sound, and play well. If a Hamer is that much better, I won't know what to think. I'd like to tarnish that gold hardware.

let's see is 81 white or gold.. white, ok. If there's a pickup that I was going to hide behind for sweeps, it would be the 81 in the neck. IMO the tone from an 81 sounds as though you you're playing a massive hot and scooped passive pickup and picking over the octave of the neck. What you gain...

I have a couple dimarzio fast tracks 1 and 2 which I would imagine to be very similar. There are plenty of possibilities why they can't produce full humbucker sound. IMO they don't come close. My strat already had slots for two humbuckers, so picking up the pickguard to fit was the only issue...

Shred V? No idea about installing one. Good luck.

That's a beautiful photo, Crest. The trees and clouds reflect perfect off the finish, but they should have taken the **** bag off the case handle haha. From my first glances at the menace, I thought it was going to be a gem I was looking for. Just one inlay, a matte black/green tint finish...

Agreed. That brings you back to the 'tone wood' argument.

Swapping pickups alone will push a Schecter towards the cost of a faded studio lp. Re-fretting a guitar is not cheap, nor something I would consider doing myself.

There is something inherently different about the way ESP's play involving the fret hand. I'm not sure what it is, but I don't like it. Some do though. I'm right on board with the buy quality argument. My squier has soaked up parts, effort, and money to the point where it is tonally better than...

On the original topic The PRS SE's are made exactly to compete in market with the mexi strats. I challenge anyone to find an absolute stand out 300-500 dollar guitar. 1/4 the price : 1/4 the craftsmanship

Some of us gotta make do. So Step Off! Rock, I wish you would have attacked the Schecters with this kind of intensity :D This is one of the better threads on this site. I do not believe I could identify electric guitars with identical hardware and different tone woods or joints in a blind...

Unstoppable, Cliff. The quality of audio you're getting out of your pod is practically disheartening when I compare it to my results of miking my cab.

How much damage to the excess noise will star and shield grounding actually do? I know I have only shielded the full cavity of my lower end guitar and still found the results pretty encouraging. I assume a power conditioner and eliminating ground loops through the star ground will only help...

Put a custom guitar and amp in my hands and the women will come to me.

Absolutely nothing wrong with emgs. Look at the tone Between the Buried and Me gets out of them. They have a very modern sound.

That guitar is a work of art.

Quality post, strat500. I think my nose may have been touching the computer screen reading that. Thanks for the insight.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKQgDY0pZ68 It's a dumb song :], but the drum sound is so clean. I can tell he's using a good amount of sm57s, but I'm not familiar with the stubby mics on his toms. In other videos I see a condenser overhead and what looks like a 57 overhead that's parallel with...
