One of my friends just got 2 sets of Faron Collins pickups for $82.96 per set, they advertise as hand wound USA made. Does anyone know anything about them? They look decent & I haven't installed them in anything for him yet, they will be going in a couple Firefly 335s. I'm just looking to know...
Hey guys, a few years ago one of my friends bought a lot of 10-12 guitars of Craigslist. He gave me an Aria SG. It had a cracked body so I took it apart to repair it & found both pickups were non original. The one in the neck ended up being a transitional Shaw which is really cool, it sounds...
My band is G.E. Sassani & the Sonic Brotherhood & this is Wings. We are getting ready to record Gino's 8th album & this is one of the tracks, hope you like it. I'm playing my Kiesel on this one but my R9 got equal time at this gig.
I found this at my local Sam Ash, it plays & sounds great & massively inspires to be played. The neck feels great, comfortable & fast. The pickups are outstanding, full & very aggressive with a little vintage sneaking through.
Added coolness bonus is its the guitar they used for the online...
I posted this in the other guitars forum a couple weeks ago & am thinking it would be more appreciated here. It's sort a of NGD, I just finished the rebuild.
I got this in the early 90's when I was doing the vintage guitar show circuit with my bro Rockin Ronny under the name Turtle Hurd Music. I...
Sort of NGD, I just finished the rebuild today. I got this in the early 90's when I was doing the vintage guitar show circuit with my bro Rockin Ronny under the name Turtle Hurd Music. I think it's a Teisco but not sure. Some dude was trying to sell it & no one wanted it, he came to our booth &...
I just picked up this 2004 PRS custom 22 10 top.It has the wide fat neck & the color is Mateo blue, it looks more like a deep teal than the blue in the pictures. This is definitely a sweet addition to the stable
I have been wanting a blue BFG for a long time & the last couple years I have been searching but the blue ones seem to be the hardest to find. This one is in unplayed condition & unmodded when I got it yesterday. I added the pickup ring this morning, the pickup is not pitched with the strings...
We went on vacation last week to Cincinnati & I was surfing the local Craigslist. A set of Rio Grande pickups was listed for $60, a BBQ & TX, I didn't hesitate. Yesterday I put them in my 13 SG standard. Holy crap do they sound good. Perfect match for the guitar, the BBQ has lots of sizzle &...

I got a $100 gift card for Christmas for GC. After church today we stopped at GC to look at some used pedals then started looking at guitars. Then she says, do you want a guitar, your birthday is next weekend & I'll split the cost. I started looking around for something different from what I...
Has anyone here tried an A4 magnet in a Duncan Jazz pickup? One of my friends is sending me a stock jazz & I'm thinking of trying it with the A4. Just curious how it sounded compared to the stock A5.
Today I made a stop at Sam Ash & got myself a new 2013 SG standard. Nice chunky for an SG neck. I have been without one for a few years now & have always wanted a white one so I had to pull the trigger, also being an Iommi fan didn't help either. The tag says it has 490r & 498t pickups but when...
I got an early Christmas present from my folks in the mail today, a set of Skatterbrane Earthbranes with raw nickel covers. My first impression when I opened the box was of very high quality, they look good. I put them in my R8 which already had CTS 500k super pots, PIO caps & 50's wired. They...
Yep it's routed in back for some extra switches, no picture with the large cover off. It's a nice looking guitar just too bad for the routing.
1953 Les Paul gold top Gibson guitar
A couple weeks ago I was surfin Craigslist & found this LTD Tele, he was asking $100 for it. I shot him an offer of $50 & he took it. It needed a small bit of work as it was missing tuners & needed to be wired up. I got a set of mini Grovers for it, took out the stock pickups & put a BB1 in the...
Today my friend Pat & I gave a guitar & amp to Andrew Jones. He is an old school player who doesn't have much & his only electric guitar was stolen a while back. He is a very nice guy & it was really good to do something nice for him.
This is Andrew & his new guitar
This is Pat, Andrew & I
I gave it about 45 minutes through a Fender super sonic which is the amp I gig with. First my favorite Les Pauls are the 56 - 59 historics of which I have 2 & I have had les Pauls from the 70's through the current ones. I also have large hands & prefer a large to huge neck.
It was a tobacco...
