I had a few extra minutes to kill this afternoon, so I stopped in Guitar Center to see what they had. Every guitar I picked up was nowhere near being set up properly... and they all were either tuned to drop D or way down three or four steps. I wonder why I don't buy anything at these places? I'm so...

This is getting old without any direct participation from the Violet one. Can someone go undercover and ask him for a trial "rock" lesson? Can you view this board without registration? He's had the link to this thread in some facebook messages for some time. He, unlike HOTT, may be aware ...

Reason why I'm asking about the Strat pickups is because I have an American Series Strat from about seven years ago, and I've never found the right pickups for it. I tend to use noiseless pickups but if a standard single coil is REALLY cool I'll go for that. It's recently got Lace Sensor Golds in i...

Anyone use Duncan Strat pickups? Which ones did you like? I am looking at the Classic Stack Plus and Vintage Hot Stack Plus. Yes. Been using Duncan's for +/- 30 years. I tend to stay more towards the vintage stuff than the hot rods but they make very good pickups. Either of the ones you mentioned w...

Would you guys put GFS pickups in an American Strat if you were me? Reason why I'm asking is that I've always felt that American/Japanese guitars deserved higher end pickups, but I'm really liking what I hear of a few sets of Guitarfetish Strat pickups. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogKniT42thI Sh...

It'll be interesting to see where he goes from here. I'm really hoping that TNA will pick him up. Jeff has enough pull to get in Shannon Moore and Hurricane Helms if he wants to. TNA will gladly sign Matt Hardy just to market their version of Hardy Boyz merch. And then they just need to lure Lita b...

Just wanna thin the herd.. plus, it's cool not to be a Strat for once... I'm kinda the reverse. I need a strat, but have teles. If you have Tele's then you really don't need a Strat! If you bought El Toro's, you wouldn't have a true Tele. You'd have the shape , but the pup/bridge arrangement is all...

Warmoth is moving to Spain! Really? Was there a news story somewhere about it? Hehehehe, my heart jumped too.

I'm not sure if Strats are USA or metric, but you can go to Home Depot and get the hex sets that are like a Swiss Army knife style for $5-6 each. I have a metric and a USA and they are a lot easier to find in an accessory case on a dark stage than individual ones are. The key ring type are even che...
