    Pickups don't matter?

    In short I strongly disagree. Even something as simple as changing the thickness of your pick can cause an audible difference in tone. Pickups, unless you pick several that are voiced incredibly similarly, will definitely have a major impact on tone

    ODs-extended range low tunings/TC Preamp?

    I have a few go to pedals that I use regularly Boss EQ 200: clean boost, customized to your personal taste with a bonus of being able to run it in a 4 cable method so I can boost the front end and then do some tone sculpting in the loop Pepers Dirty Tree: most pissed off sounding boost I've...

    Strap locks - preferences?

    I've use the the Schaller S locks/and the older version of them for almost 10 years without issue. I chose them because if for some reason the lock mechanism broke, the "U" shaped groove the strap pin sits in would still hold the guitar safely

    HS with a 5 way wiring

    I've looked and couldn't really find a diagram for the configuration I'm after. I'm fairly new to wiring my guitars and I need help trying to figure out how to wire up my HS combo to a 5 way switch with 2 volume knobs (1 regular, 1 P/P for bridge coil split) for the following configuration: 1...

    Your reason/justification for owning more guitars? Help!

    I pretty much either play in standard or drop the lowest string but I have several guitars because they all do something different. One has a trem, the other a piezo, Humbucker, single coils, actives, passives, different woods, etc Basically I went the multiple guitars for specific uses instead...

    How do you afford guitars from custom shops and high end instruments?

    I'm in the military, so I'm definitely not rich I tend to not really spend money on things that aren't food, fuel, or bills too often, and I live well below my means so I normally have a fair amount savings that every now and then I'll use a little of for a guitar.

    LTD MH-400B - EMGs: keep or replace?

    Honestly a lot of people have other preferences but EMG 81 and 85 are solid pick ups They sound clear, have a fairly flat EQ curve, and depending on what you like the standard EMGs are a little compressed so that can be a benefit. I Prefer the X series by emg because they're less compressed...

    To BOOST or not to BOOST?

    I absolutely love using a clean boost/preamp/EQ pedal Infront of my amp to help tighten things up and give the perception of more gain. So something like a Pepers Pedals dirty tree, Fortin Blade, Boss 10 band EQ. But I generally do not like putting overdrives in front of an amp because they...

    Nolly signature "Polymath" BKPs

    More pickup options is always a good thing, but no single pickup is worth paying that price in my opinion

    Amps that sound good....when someone else is playing it?

    I got the life of me have never gotten a 5150 to sound good. Like I just can't get it to sound good

    So this is a thing, apparently.

    Like a lot of people have said not a fan of his but I like this guitar. My only complaint is the 5 black lines under the strings.

    (your opinion needed) Optimum Scale Length for Low F#

    I voted 28, but I honestly think that this is very player specific. I personally use a 9-80 set on both my 8s (one is 27.5" the other is 28") and it works great for me.

    Will a .090 fit through a string through on an 8 string with a hipshot?

    I can tell you that a hipshot will take a .090 with no issue (I use one on my 8) but like max said the body might not be able to without a little drilling first. I didn't need too with my DC800 but I have no idea if your SC model will. If memory serves right steph uses a really light guage so...
