    Grunge Pickups

    Cool guitar. I would echo previous sentiments, the stock pops are already aimed at high-gain, at least by Fender's standards. $150 gives you lots of options when it comes to distortion pedals. I'd also hold-off on replacing the pickups until you're sure they wont work for you - if you're...

    Annual Humidity post - SUPER IMPORTANT - READ THIS!!!!!!! (long, but worth it)

    Ah I was just joshing you mate, I've recently picked up an electric with sperzels and it's clear they add nothing to tuning stability. Feel free to remove my posts as applicable.

    Annual Humidity post - SUPER IMPORTANT - READ THIS!!!!!!! (long, but worth it)

    You need to shut up with your science and recognise the engineering marvel that is locking tuners.

    Guitar shops and cluelessness

    Happens a bit here, or at least it used to before I get some educating from Homerec and Muttley! I find it more of an issue when buying though, as I'll usually let one of the staff make whatever sales pitch they've been working on. If they bandy about generic terms or get something wrong (like...

    Budget Tele

    Pretty sure Zaphod plays a GF Strat and Anfontan has a good bit of experience with their Teles. You might also consider some of the vintage vibe Squier Teles, though the prices tend to be a little less wallet-friendly. Rest assured that you are buying the best designed electric guitar of all time :D

    Question I should know the answer to...

    Sure I get that single coils are prone to 50/60 cycle hum, it's the nature of the beast and all that. What I'm curious about is the ground hum that I associate almost exclusively with Teles...I say ground hum because I'm sure that touching the strings/ridge/body of the guitar is acting as some...

    Gibson Firebird X....why, oh why?

    I think you have to applaud Gibson for trying to innovate. Their attempts have been way off the mark in the last few years (Robot guitar, Dusk Tiger, Ethernet guitar) but I find this approach preferable to releasing a '59 re-issue every couple of years or going down the 'road-worn' route. I hope...

    To split or not to split?

    Wait, twice as many people would prefer to keep things in one place but you go ahead and split anyway? Sorry, but this is beyond stupid. You could just as easily count those 'No preference' votes as 'No' votes, in which case those voting against the split would outnumber those voting for it on a...

    Neck Question for Muttley

    Mate, you're gonna rip the piss out of me, but I've recently set-up half my guitars with tens and I'm finding the jump from 9's is tough on the fingers. I reach for bends that aren't there and choke out with slides. They do seem to be easier to dial in a nice action with - not sure if that's...

    Question I should know the answer to...

    This has been discussed before, but why do Teles hum when you don't touch the body/strings/bridge? I know that this suggests an earthing issue, but in my experience S-type guitars don't hum anywhere near as much as a Tele. I've played a variety of Teles at various price points and they all seem...

    Neck Question for Muttley

    Y'all need to SRV that shit up Zaph, pay tribute to a fellow Texan who liked his strings heavy and detuned! Word!

    To split or not to split?

    Careful now! When I said that it didn't go down too well! But then again, you are way more awesome than me. The poll says 2:1 in favour of keeping things in one place, can we change things back yet?

    Guitar Tuning and Temperament Primer (revised)

    Doesn't he have a lever that'll drop to drop D with the flick of a switch? I could swear he did at one point.

    I need a new vocal mic

    You wont go wrong with a SE 2200A - think they list for $300 new and they're a very neutral mic. If you're open to dynamics, an SM7B might be a good choice for more aggressive male vocals. Same with EV RE20
