    Electrical question-dead pickup?

    Well, I just spent the last 45 minutes on the girls with SG's topic. I thought, "what a great idea for a post!", but 90 some pages?! Talk about a hot topic. Does that win the record for most posts? My problem is that the neck pickup is not working. I can't imagine anything busting the...

    Pickup covers off?

    I have a SGS that has a 490R and a 498T w/ the silver covers. How would it change the sound if I remove the covers? Thanks.

    Vox AC30s - good times, bad times

    I bought a Vox in 2002 from a store here in Pgh, PA. I had a few problems with it. I can't remember what, now. It was a floor model. I don't know how long it was there, plus...I think their amp guy at this store is an idiot. I took it in several times, then complained...and the Vox guy sent...

    What's up Gibson?!

    My beef is with the corporate management. By dropping smaller dealers (if you want to call 2.2 million a small dealer), you ultimately put most of the control in the hands of the distributor. Down the road, if Guitar Center wants to make **** guitars in China and sell them as Gibson's they...

    What's up Gibson?!

    I thought this was in interesting quote: BTW....Guitar Center=Wall Mart "Perhaps ... until it became "Rubbermaid Part 2"....do you know the story of Rubbermaid's relationship with Wal-Mart and the result of that relationship? Short version: Wal-Mart bought a ton of their...

    Have you heard about this new dealer policy? http://forums.birdsandmoons.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11209&page=1&pp=10 I couldn't believe this when I read it! Gibson is going from legend to LAME!

    Sticky subject

    The only instrument your hands should be on is the guitar....spend less time looking at porn on the interweb and more time playing guitar.

    Jeff Beck Duncans?

    Anyone ever try the Seymour Duncan Jeff Beck Model pickups? My guitar tech suggested a JB model in the bridge and a Jazz Model in the neck. Anyone ever try that combo in the SG, or anything else?

    PAF pickups?

    Well, my guitar tech is installing the electronics upgrade right now. He's also installing the Buzz Feiten Tuning System. Anyone use that? He also suggested trying my pickups w/o the covers. Anyone do that?

    Badcat's Tonecat

    I just played this amp today...it's very cool! 2 power sections EL84 and EL34, you can blend them too. Lot's of cool tones, huge bottom end. Didn't play it with SG but...? I might have to start saving.

    Peavey Classic 30

    I have a Peavey Classic 30. It's a good amp. I never had a problem with it being noisey. For the money, I don't know what else there is out there...? I used it for gigs at first, and I don't ever remember being real mad at it for anything. It sounded pretty good. One gig (in a dive bar)...

    Adjusting Volume on SG

    Call me stupid, but I just realized that top volume knob kind of controls both pickup's vol (in middle position), but not exactly. If I move the bridge vol a little (in middle position), it doesn't seem to effect volume but seems to deaden the sound a bit(less brite). I don't know if I'm...

    PAF pickups?

    OK, this might be a dumb one, but..... What's the story on PAF's? I got...Patent Applied For. Are these like the pickup equivalent of NOS tubes? I'm a big fan of NOS tubes....is this going to be another thing I'll need to spend money on? Do they only refer to Gibson's, or are there...

    Electronics kit upgrade

    I read a big post about this, from Voxman. I think I will probably do the upgrade. I was wondering if anyone had any comments or suggestions about it. (Which kit to go with, wiring, other options, etc.)? Anyone done this? Thanks.
