You're just rehashing what A¶de (or however you spell it said, and I believe he said it) in the other thread. And to further his analogy rather than yours -

I'm at a party where people are free to come and go as they please. I insult someone without really meaning to, people get upset, so I decide to go to another party. Then some of the people from that first party are there and are still upset and the rest of the people at the second party are trying to figure out what the hell is this, now.

I don't like drama. I'm doing my best to avoid it by ducking out of there, but you're not making me leave here no matter how long and hard you yell. To misquote a dumbass, if you don't like it, then ban me.

@ Duke - guitars will never beat INTERWEB DRAMAZ. D:D:D:D:D:

So... guitars...

The neck is so long it almost feels like I'm playing a bass. The sound is so twangy and full, though. Plus, it is probably the lightest guitar I've played in a long time. The tremolo bar makes me feel like I'm going to snap the entire bridge off, but I don't plan on using it too much anyway.

So exactly 78billions years ago I ordered a replacement tremelo bar for Musty my USAMERICAN S8 Fender Mustang. The lady on the phone, (back in those days you ordered on what we called the telephone. It is like your iPhone, with out the 'i'). The nice lady said they had two versions one would fit and one would not. The one they sent does not. So on the 78billionth anniversary I am contemplating on using this internet to find one that fits. GFS has one saying it is a 10/32 or some such. Does anyone know that if there is a chance it would fit? Because I might order one with the tele bridge replacement. Or maybe just tie and onion to my belt...

The SE Torero offers many "firsts" for PRS Guitars, and is dubbed by Paul Reed Smith himself as "a shredder's dream." Features unique to the new SE Torero and first ever for PRS are the use of a Floyd Rose bridge, EMG pickups, and neck-through body construction.

Quote

Wayne Johnson, PRS Amp team member and a 2008 recipient of "The Ten Hottest New Guitarists of the Month" by Guitar Player magazine forum members describes this new model as "sonically devastating," and PRS's SE Inspector Dong Chang also offered, "This guitar makes you play harder."

Hi, we're PRS and we're trying to copy ESP and Schecter.

Man, you know those "sterling by Music man ax40" guitars would not be so bad if they took a clue from the V and just made it a normal color and got away from the flamey flamey flame veneer.

See that would look ok in White or Black.

So hey are the pickups available from guitarfetish any good? I've heard some good things about some, but really know very little. I'm working on a weirdass esquire based guitar thingy and need a tele bridge pickup. I also made a mockup body out of scrap pine for ergonomics and appearance testing and when I find a camera would like some aesthetic feedback.

Christophe · « **Reply #1169 on:** 14 Jan 2010, 18:23 »

Those Brighton Rocks from GFS are supposed to come on the 19th. As soon as I get that, get my guitar back from the shop and find a soldering gun, I'll let you know.

GFS pickups are good for what you pay for. I built a tele-partscaster with a mini humbucker and their repro-60's tele bridge. Pretty nice, and unlike higher end pups, if you don't like it at least you didn't spend $100+ on it. I like 'em pleanty good.

Also, very interested about those Brighton Rock pickups. Any chance of a video or audio demo after you get them?

P.S. The Brighton Rock pickups definitely should have been named Fat Bottom Girls. Just saying.

I'm planning on doing before-after recordings. Hopefully they will turn out well.

A Wet Helmet · « **Reply #1174 on:** 15 Jan 2010, 03:16 »

Given that you've mentioned soldering gun instead of iron, I'm going to assume you haven't done a whole lot of soldering. Based on that assumption, my free advice to you is to do some practicing before doing a pickup swap. Not only can you cook components if you leave the heat on there too long, but (far more likely) the giant ass blobs of solder that you're going to get on everything can really affect tone. Soldering isn't hard, but it does take a little bit of practice.

In other news, you can pick up a soldering iron for about $15 at Radio Shack or Home Depot that will work just fine.

I'm not trying to be a pompous ass here, so if I'm coming off as one I apologize. I've done a lot of soldering over the years though, and the results haven't always been pretty. I just wanted to throw a caveat out there for anyone considering doing their first pickup swap. My other advice is do it. So much fun tearing your shit apart to modify/fix/break/whatever it. Just be aware that you can fuck stuff up, but it's almost always fixable.

edit: Correcting a mis-statement

doombilly · « **Reply #1175 on:** 15 Jan 2010, 06:14 »

Speaking of GFS, what's the deal on the Xaviere Guit-fiddles? They seem too inexpensive to be of serious value.
No reviews on the Offsets yet on Harm Central neither.
But BONER!

Orange guitar would look nice with the orange tolex Avatar and Tiny Terror. (And my Aqua Suit!)

I have made that mistake way too many times (saying gun when I mean iron) but yeah, I've not done very much soldering, at all. Thanks for the advice though, it is appreciated.

'tis cool man. Because I love building and modding my guitars I'm always excited to see someone else with a little DIY spirit in them. Read (watch?) a tutorial or two on the 'net and get a little practice before going live on your guitar, because it sucks not being happy with the results, you know?

Unless it's a classic player, which, as far as I know has a threaded trem arm and socket.

The one I just posted is a Classic Player, and it isn't threaded.

It is not a Classic Player. That's either a CIJ or MIJ. Know how I can tell? Because the Classic Player series doesn't have year-specific reissues, and as you said in the original post, it's a "66 Classic Player Jaguar". That is the name of a guitar that does not exist. Classic Player Jaguars also do not have blocks or binding, and the trem arm is threaded. Your Jag has blocks, binding, and your trem arm is not threaded.

Prove me wrong, and I will give you my AVRI.

I have a 1x15 and a 4x10 in my rig. Mostly, the difference I notice is that the 15 gives me a more well-rounded tone. The 4x10 is all whump whump bling bling, whereas the 15 is most sprang sprum sprung. AMIRITE?

How much would you want for the 4x10 + shipping, and how long would you be willing to wait for me to give you exactly that amount? 'Cause I would really really really like a 4x10 cab to attach to my Marshall. The sonic assfuckery...

Call me a WHAMbulance. I've ordered another tremelo bar that doesn't screw in to the mustang bridge. <sigh> Oh well, gotta practice tonight otherwise I'd be pulling the tele bridge off STAT.

Bearer · « **Reply #1186 on:** 19 Jan 2010, 16:33 »

Just remember to mark off where the back of the old bridge sits on the body so you can line the new one up. Screw in middle hole, string high and low E's, screw down the rest, and you should be set. If any old holes are visible, then fuck it, your guitar has character!.

Fuck that, you totally need to shoplift it.

Heyo fixed the improper fitting Mustang whammy bar with some teflon tape. Played the lat two sets (1 gig, 1 practice) with my 70's single coil guitars. Such a different sound.

Also Jesus Judas Jackolantern. My Mustang is crazy heavy. I will take some pics that are detailed. Maybe one of you wood nerds, sprites or other sylvan folk can i.d. the grain and make a guess at what the body is made of. It aint Alder. Honestly it is nearly as heavy as the wife's 60's/70's franken P-bass. And all the pics of sunburst 'stangs I've seen SUCK by comparison. If I could get this burst repro'd I'd have it on every guitar. You know, when I become ridiculously wealthy and what not. (Can you shoplift a paint job?).

Oh dude, totally sweet! Thing is, I don't have a job yet. But after I am employed and once I've got all my other important ducks in a row, I'll certainly get back to you. It's good to know that you'd be willing to part with it. And I don't expect you to hang onto it forever for me, if you wind up having to flip it then I don't care if you flip it to somebody else. Just, if you don't HAVE to part with it yet, I wanna get my name in the hat. Thanks!
