The blue Super-Sonic looks gorgeous! Looks kind of small in that 60cycle guys video though, for some reason I thought Super-Sonics were flipped Jaguar bodies? I don't own any humbucker guitars anymore, I'm not sure how that happened, but I'm really tempted to pick one of these up and put in some cra...

FYI Chromes are way smoother than the fancy Thomastik, the chromes make thomastik feel like something in-between round and flat

That's an obscene amount of money for a Musicmaster. I've been watching this on Reverb, but I think £800 is too much??

Bloody hell 10 years is impressive! The new set is only a few quid more than the Chromes, so I'll just go at it I think
I've never been unsatisfied with the chromes to be honest, so I don't know why I'm fretting about it so much. Thanks for the inspiration to not worry about it too much

Question regarding flat wound strings

Photo of D'Addario Chrome Low E I've been using D'Addario Chromes for a couple of years on my Jaguars, but I have recently purchased some Thomastik JS110 to try out for a change after hearing great things about them. I'm a little concerned as I have read that they can be quite fragile when restring...

That’s pretty much how much a US made offset will cost you now. Guitar prices have shot up (in UK prices at least) over the last few years. The JM Jaguars are now about £500 more than I paid for mine four years ago. I was looking for a J Mascis just the other day, I cannot believe they ar...

I have a spare GT2 knocking about but I don’t think it’ll ever be needed cause they seem to be indestructible? I’m happy to let it move on for £90 as that’s what I paid for it. PM if you fancy :)

I successfully achieved a clean Fender DeVille by swapping the preamp tubes to 12AY7s, but I think what made the biggest difference was biasing the tubes to a lower voltage. I don't think this is possible on all amps, but is pretty simple on amps that you can. On the DeVille I measured the voltage o...

Good score.
It's got some metallic sparkle to it that I forgot to mention. I got the blue purely on robroe's comment saying that it's a proper squier colour. Black's fine, but full, right?

Just had a quick play on the Bullet Mustang. First thoughts are; it is really light, the fretboard is very flat, fit and finish is fine, toploading bridge is an interesting surprise. It feels good to play. I can't help but compare it to my first electric, an affinity strat. The minimal varnish on th...

Also, Mustang body is too thin to put a Jag tremolo I could be wrong but mustangs are 1 1/2" thick and the route for the trem wants to be 1 3/8", so I should have 1/8" or 3mm to play with. If not I may just go through and put a plate on the back or sumthin. Looking at the pickguard a...

Has anyone tried one of the Mustangs yet? The spec is a bit vague, is this true short scale, or does it use a conversion neck? Worth knowing for future mods. I picked up a couple of Gibson mini humbuckers and thought this could be the ideal guitar for them, considering £115. I have ordered one fro...

I got one a couple of weeks ago for a quick and easy reverb for when I'm at home. Its ok, but having to change the settings with your phone gets tiresome once you've got over the 'Cool!' factor. Also not being able to tweak and change settings means that you're 'verb will be close enough, but never ...

Thanks, totally forgot about the ol' washer/spacer trick.

I'm thinking this will make pickup changes by feel easier as...
