No ones mentioned lubing ? Try using pencil graphite in the nut grooves / string trees / and bridge saddles.... I bet that helps. The softer & darker the pencil the better and don't be shy. You can clean up around it afterwards. Give the strings another yank as well, make sure they're fully str...

before swapping tuners put some real strings on it. they ship it with .09's grab some .11s at the least and give it another shot. The first thing i did was take off the 9's when i got it and put some 10's on. Would moving up to 11s make that much of a difference? Some may disagree, but I always use...

I actually really like the pickups. That was my worry coming into it and they've actually surpassed any expectations i could have ever had

the tuning sucks and if you're a "tinkerer" you should replace the switch yourself. a 8 dollar soldering gun and a little patience will get you there and you'll learn how do it. (if you already know how to solder, ignore what I just said). The tuners on those guitars are quality. Everythi...

something just seems "off" about it. Ive never taken a guitar in to get it set up "properly" but maybe i will take it ot my buddy's guitar shop and have him give it a one over and set it up and see if that helps.

have you tried stretching the strings at all? make sure its properly set up before you drop coin on tuners that probably aren't as quality... thats just it. I resrung, and stretched the stings. and ive been jamming on it a few days and still notice that if i tug on a string, any string, it will go ...

I really doubt it's the tuners. Are you used to short scale guitars? The guitar is almost always going to go a little flat but if you're noticing a problem, I would really switching strings and see if that helps. what is wrong w/ the three way switch? I wouldn't even a very, very cheap switch shoul...

A good setup will fix a lot of tuning problems too. Try the easy things first. I went thru and set it up and adjusted the intonation etc. It just wont stay in tune. I've set up all my guitars and basses and they don't slip like this one does. After a bit i notice that G B and E are anywhere from 1/...

So after having it for a few days i've noticed a few things.... 1) The tuners suck. The tuning is constantly slipping. I'll tune, then play for 15 mins and i have to recheck my tuning cuz shit just sounds reckless. I really think if i bought some better tuners it would fix this. I doubt there are an...

I've never actually came across a Bugera amp in person, however I've been very interested in their clones of the Matchless DC-30 and the Mesa MkIV. Whats the build quality like on these? I've watched a lot of demos and reviews of the TriRec (Mesa Triple Rec clone) and for only $799 new it sounds am...

The 7 stringer? It's def not a high end guitar but i love that thing. Its simple, sounds good once you ditch the stock pups. Once i get the amp i'll try and set up some mics so i can get some samples.

Any thoughts? I've heard tons of good things about them. How are the stock tubes? any recommendations on better tubes/speaker etc to make it sound better?

if you decide to sell, i'm interested.

in the pups?

about the pickups, most companies make humbuckers that they call "f spaced" those will fit into the holes. the problem that you might run into is that most humbuckers have two mounting points, rather than three. the solution that im working on is getting a custom pickguard. i had an old m...

well i got it. this things is pretty legit. everything is perfect, except one thing. the damn toggle switch when set to just the bridge pickup will randomly switch to middle when its still selected in the bridge position. wtf? its really pissing me off. it will sometimes get halfway switched and mak...

I've not played one but they look damn nice. I'm in the same band-type situation but with a Jaguar, LP's aren't really my thing, so I just changed the pickup for a little 59' and it works and sounds great. I imagine swapping out the pickups in the mustang wouldn't be too much of an issue, but I was...

As the title says im new here. As I type this im waiting for my Pawn Shop Mustang in LPB to be delivered by fedex. I've always like the Mustang shape but wasnt a fan of the bridges personally and really never had that kinda cash to throw down on a guitar. I've always played guitar but somehow got in...
