Everything about that guitar looks so right. Gorgeous.

The old girl is back a few days early, with Screamers: AMAZING. Clean tones really sparkle now, but I still get plenty of punch when I distort them. And I'm loving the coil taps. It's like having two guitars in one.

Wow. Mages, you have just made me much more excited about jumping through all the remaining hoops to get this thing up and running.

That is gorgeous. Love the tort on blue! Great job.

Revisions, Schemisions!

I've taken it to the shop to pop the Screamers in. They've got a lot of work piled up right now, though, so it's looking like the middle of next week.

It came bundled with my Digitech RP255, which works (or should eventually work) as a USB interface. What I can tell you at the moment about Cubase LE is that it has the most confusing, needlessly complicated installation process I've ever seen. Finally gave up last night and went to bed. Once I've f...

Awesome idea, well executed.

Screamers have arrived! But they're supposed to be my reward for getting this dissertation chapter turned in, so now I guess I have to finish these revisions before I can take the Super-Sonic to my guitar tech. Sigh. Stupid work.

YES. Learned about those the hard way.

I got a replacement guard for my Super-Sonic from Jeannie without any drama and it fits fine, but I can definitely see how things might have gotten out of hand if it didn't. Based on the experiences of most of the people on this board, you probably want to shop around.

You make a compelling argument. So does the $25 price tag. I talked to one of the guys at the shop where I've been taking my gear since forever about doing a coil tap, and I think I'm going to give the Screamers a try, unless someone here dissuades me. Thanks for all your advice, everyone.

Yeah, it's one of the eBay guards I've got on there, so it does have the rounded corners. I'm liking the sound of the SD Jazz in those samples singlepickup24 linked to, but I could also see going to another SH-1, and I won't rule out a P90. Amp is a Fender Princeton 112, and I use a Digitech RP255 a...

Can't possibly afford one, but now that I know they exist, I need one. The more posts I see about them, the more I can't stop thinking about them. Even that silly headstock is growing on me. It's like the Krusty's Clown College of guitars.

Yeah, the volume for the neck pickup is the problem pot on mine too. I gave it another critical listen this morning, compared it to the pups on the Mockingbird again, and lowered the neck pup a bit, which helped somewhat. It's really only the low E and A strings that get muddy, so I might also try a...

Hi everyone. I'm new; my Super Sonic is not. It's been my main guitar since 1998, but I'd never bothered to Google it until a couple months ago. Ever since then I've been all "Oh cool; I own a rare guitar." I've been lurking for a few weeks and finally decided to register. You seem like a ...
