Acoustic pickups I put a Dean Markley piano black Pro Mag Something, full humbucker sound hole pickup in my Samick Jumbo acoustic and played it just for fun thru my little Marshall MG15CDR that has a real mini reverb tank and a closed back. It sounded fantastic, but I was using one of my...

Pickguard Great idea. My Squire Standard is Walnut stain with a black pickguard. I don't care for the white pickguards on many colors, but they look good on white guitars like my Deluxe Squire. I also like black pearl or shell pickguards. I put one on a Squire black strat and it looks...

Changes I know when I ned to change strings, usually, because one or more string will sound off and chords won't ring true. Lots of times it is only one string, like the G string. It will sound dull and not blend in. I try to change strings fairly often so the guitars sound right. Also...

Yo F4Dphantom2 Yo Phontom, Can you imagine a phantom made out of cardboard? That would be equivalent to a high class company like Epiphone using contact paper on their Plus top LP's. It just isn't a serious comment and must have been a joke. Actually Epiphone LP Standard Plus Tops are...

Nashville That has to be an awesome guitar. I have two stereo guitars with piezo bridge pups: a great and expensive Schecter C1 E/A with two Seymour Duncan humbuckers, super strat style, a '59 in the neck and a JB in the bridge, I had the tone pot changed to the one that you can get lots of...

I have had a great interest in a nice Agile LP for years. Anyone have any advice on the 3000 3100 models? They have some nice ones right now including a Tribal Green one and the specs look good. Since I haven't owned an Agile my questions is to those who have and how they feel, sound. and...

Pups I sometimes roll with GFS pups; but, I really feel that it is definitely worth the money to spend the extra money and get quality pups like SD's. I love SD's. I like a SD '59 in the neck and a JB in the bridge. Very hot pickups. I have also noticed that some of my guitars, Peavey...

Gm110 Just recently had mine stolen along with my Fender Hwy one fat strat and brand new Gibson SG faded. Know who did it and threw him out 0f my house and got a protection order against him: my nephew, to use the term without value. He assaulted me on the way out and I pressed charges on...

Peavey amph The Classic Thirty and the Delta Blues, like I have, are built in Mississipi. The Valve King is built way cheaply in China and is not nearly a comparable amp. The VK design is probably disposable, whereas the USA made amphs will probably fixable for as long as we will be...

Vox Those Vox Chromies have been known to have a lot of problems, probably because they are so extremely sophisticated. Possibly the new version has addressed the main concerns in regard to performance and reliability. I have a Fender Super Champ XD modelling amp that has an actual tube...

Bass pickups Marnold, I have had very good luck with Seymour Duncan pickups in general and notice a difference between them and GFS pups for instance. I should have bought hot SD quarter pounders for my P bass instead of the hot GFS pups which are okay and a big improvement over the stock...

Viper I have the Epiphone SG, the '66 Gibson Standard copy. It is awesome. I also have the Viper fifty, inexpensive SGish copy. The Epiphone is a nicer guitar and sounds great and is fancy with lots of nice details; but the Viper fifty is inexpensive and has hot pickups and is a great guitar...

Thanks Thanks Anthem man for posting to the forum. Plenty of us here really appreciate getting some "real" information direct from the source. Believe me, it is much appreciated. Thanks for taking a little time out for us and sharing. Duffy Winfield, Pa.

Name Heywood, I don't know man, my '66 EPi SG copy of a Gibson has the SG nametag right on the truss rod cover and is an authorized by Gibson issue. To me it is an SG and it is really nice trans cherry with nice details not to mention great pickups and feel. I also just bought a Gibson SG...

I would not hesitate to roll with the SX. I would not hesitate to roll with the SX. I have three SX guitars; two sst strats and a copy of a Gibson LP Special with two P ninety pickups, solid mahogany with set mahogany neck. I'm playing the P ninety right now. A beautiful antique burst flat...
