no no, the bar's wiring was JUNK! I kept getting the **** shocked out of me on the mic.... I finally gave up on it and sang a bit back and louder for this song. Well, it was fine till we plugged in the other amp for the last guitarist, and that just screwed it ALL up. I've realy never had a problem with hum anywhere else, even with more gain than that. I'm impressed with these pickups. Plus, I had my tech install the pickups, but the switch crapped out and I decided to learn how to install my own and learn to solder. Turned out well, I have a switch and it still sounds fine!

I say blah to expensive guitars. Listen to this video of me playing "Texas Flood". This is a Stagg Jazzmaster, which is about 150 USD new (got it for 100 on a clearance), with a set of $50 "GFS 60's repro" pickups, and D'Addario .011 gauge strings. This is all played through the house amp, which was a fender DRRI I believe, either that or a super reverb. Can't remember, it's been a year. Not too bad for at total of $170.

I don't post here much, but definitely go with a sunburst finish on this one to show the crazy grain on that one, and hide the lighter outside wood! But natural would also look damn good as well.

go to http://www.thefenderforum.com/forum/index.php and search hot rod delux problems or repairs in the amp forum, the amps are notorious for frying resistors on the circuit board thanks to overheating, and also the tubes are attached right to the board so if you bump one, you break a solder and bye bye amp. Also, the older models were riddles with cold solder joints. For the money, you can do MUCH better.

haha WAY before Rhodes or Van Halen even thought about it!

Single coils are my pickup of choice for the neck, and low resistance humbuckers for the bridge. I've never tried a P90 guitar though, so I might be in love with a new bridge pickup. Singles in the bridge sound too thin and wimpy for me.

I'm gonna say strat. but I'm going to build a les paul with the strat arm and belly contour so I'll see how that feels!

Do you have it wired to cut out the POS (+) signal chain or short out the POS to the ground (-) ??

either the action is too low or the relief isn't set right. Go to the project guitar homepage and look at their setup guide, it'll tell you how to get your guitar playing perfectly!

hey guys maybe we can do this for a guitar of the year (GOTY) thing or something, I'm in the planning/ gathering parts stage in my build, not sure on the final shape yet, so this would be sweet.

Dragonforce is a fine example of mediocre speed metal. Good STUDIO band, but they're so drunk and high on stage they cant do ****! Herman li has some talent, but he thinks he's better than he is and throws in stuff even he cant play right.

if you're going for blues/darker tones, you more or less want it in the middle-neck positions. Go check out some guitars as xanthus said, and see what you prefer yourself, as what we like might not be what you like.

plastic bin from walmart and an exacto knife. Have fun.

lets see his left hand now! lol he cant

THAT is a cool guitar! Interesting pickup choices too. It's vintage with the hint of modern, very nice!
