dupli-color clear is less than $5 at just about any car parts store.

the apostrophe implies an additional syllable. if it's not "DEE adareeo" then I think it would be "DUH adareeo" but it's obviously not english so what the hell do I know. This brings me back to the days of my youth when Mortal Kombat was the king of the arcades and kids would pro...

String brand and gauge is a lot like toilet paper brand and roll size: It only matters how you use it! like for your ass or your gyne? girls like all that fluffy shit. me, I gotta have some TP with some goddamn traction. you can't really go wrong with d'addario xl electrics. just don't pronounce it...

oh so it's like a buffer, neat.

they're not like GFS. GFS are humbucker shape. these are gretsch or tv jones shape with the gibson style humbucker mount. also, the details of the magnet composition are slightly confusing based on this flyer thing. The top says "ceramic bar" right, and then if you look at the details for ...

Anyone know anything about these pickups? like, what the hell they sound like?



$16.99 BIN on teh bay. It might be worth that much just to find out if they sound any good.

what's with the 1meg resistor

like the fact that he claims it's a 1972...

'72 Duo Sonic?

I'm doing a strat body with the dupli-color desert sand right meow. I'll show you some pics when I'm done.

I think pictures would help us figure out what is going on here. also, how many springs are you using and what size strings are you using? You have to balance the pull between the springs and strings. I usually have the trem claw way loose. 3 springs for size 9 strings, 4 springs for size 10 strings...

yea I know, aren't strat pickups usually about 5k and p90s about 8k? what are PAFs, like 8-10k? I understand that they wanted to make it more usable than your average coil-cut humby but it's still a bit much on the hot side.

I'd trade a cool color for a much better guitar. so you agree with fender's thinking then? No, you're taking what I said completely out of context. . Your response makes no sense at all. This isn't AV vs. CIJ. If I found a Custom Shop Jazzmaster for the same price as an AVRI, I'd buy it...Even if t...

so. fucking. ill.

I love dano u-1s. it would be awesome to have an actual nicely made one. I'm sure rob(og) would love a project like that. on some parts site I've seen the necks for sale before. actually, I've seen lots of parts around for danos. It would really be very possible to put one together. you'd just have ...

its just a buzz stop

also helps the strings from popping out of the shitty jazzmaster saddles.

it might cover the pickup cavities, but it definitely wouldn't cover the bottom horn and control cavity. you should ask rob(og) to make you something.

I think their thought process is along the lines of, "beginner guitars (squier) should be lots of different colors to attract new players but serious musicians/collectors aren't worried about the color too much." which is crap because really, if I'm paying around a grand for a guitar I sho...

yea but shell pink?
