    Sold Mojotone Tomahawk / Dustie Waring pickups

    $176 shipped I currently have them in a guitar and I'm too lazy to pull them unless they sell since they sound really good. Full wire leads. They're in good condition. Matte black covered. F-Spaced. These are monster pickups, but I bought some gold cover replacements. Trades? Redseven NGR-1...

    Probably buying a Mesa Badlander 50 head......should I???

    As a Mesa fanboy, I hated the Badlander with all of my heart. It's not a true rectifier. It sounds nothing like the old school ones and it sounds nothing like "the modern rectifier!". I ordered one with a custom headshell on announcement and when I eventually got the amp, I sold it less than a...

    Kemper Profiler MkII Series is Here

    I loved my Kemper, it was the only "amp" I had for 5+ years, but the form factor of the rack unit plus the footswitch became a bear. The Kemper Stage was a nice upgrade, but my Kemper board was massive and I needed to streamline more. I regularly used the Morph function on an expression pedal to...

    Megadeth or Metallica?

    Metallica hasn't written a meaningful album in years, Kirk and Lars can barely play their instruments. Meanwhile Megadeth's latest albums are all killer and Dave brings new blood to the band all the time. I'm super stoked to see what Teemu brings to the next Megadeth album. I haven't been...

    Photos of your guitar rig

    I'm gonna have to move some stuff around to score that Emperor cab then. Weird, but sounds like it'll be sick. Meanwhile, I'll post some of my (old) rigs JP2C W/D/W Rig controlled by a Musicomlab EFX MK-VI board. JP2C runs straight out to a cab dry. JP2C loop output ran into the MPX1...

    How do you like that Emperor cab? There's a 6x12 up for sale locally and I'm very tempted to try it out.

    Guitar upgrades and surprising shim results

    It's so hard to get neck pocket angles perfect, shims are essential. I've shimmed so many necks for people, most of the time without even mentioning it and they almost always mention how great the guitar plays now. I usually add a single strip of thin 3M Sandpaper either to the front or back of...

    Marshall JVM versus JCM800 video by Rabea Massaad

    digitaljams tried to tell everyone here way back in the day that the JVM was an all-in-one killer amp. Nails high gain, rock, clean and edge of break up, it's one of the few perfect Mashall amps right out of the box. He was right this whole time.

    Let’s Talk About Wizard Amps Gut Shots Modern Classic 50 Modded, Slightly

    I agree. With obscure amps like these, people want them exactly how the Wizard dude makes it. Doesn't matter if Joe Schmoe made it better, it's not a Wizard anymore. I feel that way about non-obscure amps too. I don't care who modded a 5150 or Dual Rec, I'm not paying extra money for a modded one.

    Les Paul '68 Custom vs. ESP Hanneman- Can you tell the difference?

    Could hear the difference big time in the palm mutes. The first guitar was tight and hits a little hard. Second guitar felt like it had a drop off in overall aggression, especially in the palm mutes. I guessed 1 ESP and 2 as the LPC. My LPC came with the 498t/480r set and I'm thinking about...

    Let’s Talk About Wizard Amps Gut Shots Modern Classic 50 Modded, Slightly

    Do Wizards come with a lifetime warranty or something? The gooping on every single turret, connection and component looks like straight ass. Huge turn off for future repairing because that shit is an absolute pain in the ass to get off.

    Who's the biggest pickup genius

    Tim Mills at BKP. All their pickups get my trousers moving.

    Burny Randy Rhoads Les Paul Update

    Burny LPCs are fucking killer. I had one in black. I reprofiled the fretboard to 16", dyed it black and put in jescar ss frets with ball ends. That guitar ripped really hard. I don't know why the hell I got rid of it. They're tone machines, especially with the stainless it's got a little more...

    This pickup is so tough, my wife has a restraining order on it. Part of the reason I need to get it out of the house.

    Is it finally time for a scalloped board?

    Get it refretted with stainless steel frets first, then scallop. I won't touch a scalloped board that needs a refret or fret level. A lot of my tech/luthier friends won't either. Especially if you've got a deep/aggressive scallop. It's not worth the risk of breaking off wood. If you've got...

    For Sale Seymour Duncan SH-6B Distortion Bridge GOLD - $67

    It's angrier than my dad when I didn't hold the flashlight right. It hits the front of the amp harder than my dad used to hit me. This pickup has bigger balls than most mortal men. It has distortion in the name so you know it's good. 13 inches of lead wire, just like me. $67 shipped. don't...

    I don't understand the high end Pickup Market

    I am a Bare Knuckle fanatic. I've been through tons of Seymour Duncans, Dimarzios and other random pickups. Bare Knuckle always knocks it out of the park and you get exactly what they describe. Although, I use the Ragnarok in everything now and it's really hard to justify $225/pickup or $434/set..

    How much do newer Gibson SG's with repaired headstocks go for?

    I threw it up for $850 local. Someone already lowballed me at $350. I told him $700 and it's his. Hoping folks will just shoot me an offer at $700 and take it off my hands. Previous owner didn't want a broken/repaired Gibson so I got it cheap because I could do the work. Even if I fixed the...
