I had to come back here and revisit my own tutorial, because it's been so long since I've done a mag swap. Might do one with my new Vintage Peter Green/Gary Moore LP, since the pickups are A5 and I...

There's nothing that compares to jamming with a full band. Really glad to hear that you found some folks to jam with, Kat!
It will make you a better player, guaranteed. And you'll have a lot of fun...

I was using an MXR Smart Gate with the band for about a year when it just suddenly failed. I replaced it with a Boss NS-2, which does the job fine, although I did like the MXR better. I was actually...

This is still one of my all-time favorite pedals. I've tried a ton of OD and distortion pedals, but this one is still my number one. I have a Suhr Riot clone that is somewhat close, but I still like...

I'm a little late here, but glad to hear that things went well for you, Duffy.

Hi Jeff! Good to see you here as well as AGF.

Cancel that. I have the project finished.
:)

HNPD!

I'll use a Tube Screamer-type pedal in front of my other dirt pedals with the drive turned all the way down (or almost all the way) and the volume turned up. Seems to add some midrange and...

Hi Fretters!

I have a Fender Mustang I that I plan on adding an extension speaker out to. I already have the shorting jack (to switch off the internal speaker, once the external is plugged in),...

I'll try to remember to take a picture of one of them this weekend. I do this to all of my guitars. Appearance-wise, it doesn't look that much different than stock, especially on maple necks. It's...

I'm not big on black guitars, although I do have two of them. Maybe it's the "fingerprint magnet" factor.
I still need a purple guitar. Oh, and an orange one...

Perhaps this was made for mermaids?

Glad I could help, Doug!

I saw a post on another forum about World Music Supply blowing out their DBZ guitars at very low prices, and one particular model caught my eye for several reasons: It's a set neck...

I actually snagged this last summer. It was a Craigslist ad, and when I called the seller, he told me the guitar was out in his yard sale. I swung by after work, and talked him down from $70 to $60....

Maybe more of our members need to enhance their local economies by buying new gear, and then posting lots of luscious pictures here on The Fret. That sounds like a win/win situation!

Coolest looking pedal ever, for sure!

From what I've heard, these need more work than the original run. I'm sure that's not the case with every single one, but apparently the QC on these has been a bit lackadaisical.

There seems to be a ton of hype about the Soul Food. Do you have one, Doug? I have some pretty decent dirt pedals, but I sure don't want to miss anything stellar!

Yes, the DBZ is mine as well. I'll get some pics up here soon. I may end up sending that one back, as there may be a low-cut nut or high fret. It's not worth it to me to have to fix that when it's a...

I know exactly what you mean. Those pretty much set the standard for my tastes in sweet, woody goodness. I love turning the tone way down on the neck pickup and noodling around. It's almost hypnotic,...

Hey Eric!
I do seem to have a lot of red guitars; I think I'm up to nine now. I am honestly more likely to buy a guitar if it's red. If it's white, forget it. I'm not that much of a black guitar...

I've always wanted a reverse-headstock guitar, and some months ago I scored one on the cheap: An ESP LTD M-10. It was a blem, so the price was definitely right. And I really like LTDs, they're a heck...

Theoretical new guitar day?

I had a compressor for about 5 minutes. I don't think I really understood how to use it. And it hissed like a rabid viper, so I pretty much hated it anyway.
