    The Black Keys

    Maybe I am getting too old to get it (I doubt it as I am only 24) BUT there is something very confusing about this rock duo setup that seems to have taken the kids. Like the White Stripes, the Black Keys play stripped down songs for nearly enthusiastic audiences who almost dance sometimes. I'm...

    Best Buy Gear

    I've yet to run across one of the stores with instruments but I hear that they have quite a selection.

    A quick capacitor question/recommendation/advice. . .

    I would just get some mallory's from guitarpartsresource.com and move on. Capacitor makes are really the last thing I worry about in the tone equation.

    Parker P36

    That looks really interesting. Did it sound like a Tele? I wish it had a wider nut width.

    Guitar player stabbed for not playing well enough

    Crazy teenage girl hell bent on fame? I wonder if Britney ever stabbed anyone.

    Fender Toronado Deluxe

    It is proven that vintage guitars are much easier on track marks.

    Fender Toronado Deluxe

    I have always thought that they were really sharp guitars. Unfortunately, the ones I played Mars Music way back in the day were not very impressive.

    Schaller or Dunlop strap locks?

    Have you ever heard of using Grolsch beer bottle washers? The big Grolsch bottles with the champagne style pop top have these pink washers on them that you can slide over your strap and strap button. They work great! :beer:

    I've never played an SG that I liked.

    Archery ?

    I took an archery class at a community college and it was fun! Surprisingly, it required a lot of shoulder strength.

    Duncan Strat Bridge Pickup With CS 69s

    Here's my first partscaster. Took forever to get it dialed in but it plays great now! I cannot figure out how to get the image to show, it just puts a link to it. :confused:

    Duncan Strat Bridge Pickup With CS 69s

    I switched the wires and it worked fine. I will post pics soon! Oh, it is a Strat (for the most part) :)

    Duncan Strat Bridge Pickup With CS 69s

    Hey Guys My first build is just about finished. USACG neck, gorgeous Fender Deluxe Player Ash 3TS body that weighs in at 4lbs and I cannot find any seems on, Glendale Chimemaster bridge and CS 69 pickups. I finally got the action setup and it is a blast so far. :dude: The bridge pickup sounds...

    John 5 Tele Wiring Mods?

    Ok, I will stick with the coil splitting or maybe even just out of phase for the bridge pickup for now. Hopefully I can eventually gain a better understanding of all this stuff and be able to improvise something with a 2nd 3 way switch on the control plate. Thanks for all of your help! :)

    Sound Clips for Two of My Amps

    Thanks, I wanted to get an idea of the complete setup you were using. That is a very cool looking axe! I really like the finish. Did you leave in those pickups, are they ceramic? I've never heard of a 7868 Tube. Is it a straight replacement for any other more common tubes? Thanks

    John 5 Tele Wiring Mods?

    Ok, I think I figured out how I will split the bottom coil. Using duhvoodoman.com I want to somehow be able to get both the neck and the bridge pickup out of phase in series. Is this possible?

    Sound Clips for Two of My Amps

    That sounded good! I really like the clean bell tones you got out of the Lead 12 but I typically enjoy playing clean. What guitar were you using?

    John 5 Tele Wiring Mods?

    Hmm, this may be tough. It looks like there is some odd stuff going on with the original wiring. Note the wires from both the neck and the bridge pickup spliced together. I may be better off just sticking with stock. :confused:
