    Need Pup Suggestions

    I hand drew mine and it's very messy! I'll have a look-see. The way to work it is with a lot of "jump" cables between contacts on a superswitch, so each point of each pickup can be earthed or go to hot. With Dimarzios in "standard polarity" from earth to hot in series operation it goes...

    Is there a pickup out there with mixed magnets?

    The strings wouldn't like it!

    With a "single coil" on a 500k the vol doesn't drop. It makes it louder and brighter, a 250k suits the sound better (hence strats and teles have 250ks) Whenever I have coils out of phase to me it sounds terrible, some like it though. Wouldn't bother with it as a wiring option. To do that...

    DiMarzio Area 58. I have it in the middle of my strat and it does that clangy in pos 3, quacky in pos 4 thing a treat, added bonus of being hum-cancelling. If you want it to deal with being on 500k controls, stick a 500k metal film resistor between your switch contact (the bit you'd solder the...

    NGD: Ibanez Prestige 1570

    Yeah I was about to say similar but if it does the business for you then who am I t complain.

    Anyone played on a Premium RG920?

    I've been wondering about these, whether they're a half-arsed pretend prestige or a genuine step between the indo/korea/whatevers and jap models. Good to see such praise.

    Mick Thompson using the new Ibanez X Series

    Nope still hate it. I miss the VBT. Had I had a job that wasn't minimum wage at the time I probably would've snapped one of those up.

    Am I a bad puppy (LP GAS content)

    Ibanez fanboy agrees. If I could find one in the UK, I would. By golly I would.

    ESP Vintage Plus - wanna change the pickups

    I would say for the chopper and FT2 go with 500k volume. A nice little wiring trick I recently learnt (and performed on my strat) is to get a fixed metal film resistor as close as you can to 500k and put it between your middle pickup's switch contact and ground. It makes it so that your...

    NGD charvel so-cal snow white and some issues....help

    Gutted man. Just remember righty tighty, lefty loosy. So as you're looking at the truss rod nut, clockwise'll tighten it, anti-clockwise'll loosen it (you should be able to feel from the tension as you go). If it's bowing back you'll need to loosen it so the strings win the tug of war a bit more!

    PRS Lovefest

    Love 'em. Got a purple CE22 second hand. I don't think I'd buy one new and I don't rate really tight figured maple (so cheaper tops actually look better to me - convenient) just because the pricing's crazy, but they're seriously, SERIOUSLY good guitars. Got serious lust for CU24 in Angry Larry...

    Am I a bad puppy (LP GAS content)

    I did some reading up on mylespaul.com last night and many of the folk on there rate them alongside several gibbos (and some of the spec is actually better!)

    Oh I'm not a mad Twisted Sister fan but a pinkburst LP....... I might well be in love. Can't find them for love nor money, however.

    Am I a bad puppy (LP GAS content)

    Okay so as a backstory, I've never liked LPs lookwise and couldn't see myself wanting one..... http://static.music123.com/derivates/19/001/296/231/DV020_Jpg_Jumbo_518078.jpg I *REALLY* want one of these. Should I worry? I hear the build quality of the Elitists was superb, it's got no...

    Ibanez Jem Design Contest loser.

    This is superb, man. I personally prefer the original design with the vine but still.... DAT BODY DESIGN.

    Almost certainly by the sounds of it mate. Don't go too drastic with the truss rod. Little increments, leave it to rest, little increments.... and so on.
