    Why Line6 Sucks!!!

    My Experience I have to admit you guys almost had me worked into a frenzy fearing the kind of support I would get from Line 6 - but it really could not have gone ANY better. I just got off the phone with Neil (tech support). I hava a Variax acoustic 300 steel string (yes, I've heard the put...

    Telecaster Wiring Issues (lots of detail)

    Light, I'm not saving any money either way. I had access to the Fender single coil so that's what's in the bridge position now. I'll eventually replace it with a hotrail or mini-humbucker because that is what the bridge can accomodate. Going with a full size humbucker means a new bridge.:) ~B

The first is a 62 (year I was born) Stratocaster I put together with vintage correct pickups, bridge etc. in Surf Green. The next two are of my most recent project which was a 52 Hot-rod telecaster. Vintage 5 hole...

    Telecaster Wiring Issues (lots of detail)

    JCH, In all honesty my number one guitar is an American Strat which I love. I used to have a Telecaster Flame Maple Top with two humbuckers that covered the rest of the spectrum. Unfortunately, it had a 15" neck radius which I found I didn't like so I sold it. I decided to build my own tele...

    Hey Light, Thanks for the help on my Tele being wired out of phase. I was wondering if you might be willing to re-visit the post...I had a question about using 250 vs. 500k pots. If you can - thanks in advance, Bob

    Telecaster Wiring Issues (lots of detail)

    Thanks to the advice given here I fixed my last wiring problem (pickups out of phase). That being the case I was wondering if some of you experts could look at the schematic below and tell me if I can use my two existing 250K pots to install the bridge hotrail (currently have the one...

    Thank you JCH - swapping the green and black wires did the trick!!! I was hesitant to try because of the wiring diagram I got from Duncan Seymour - but you were right! ~Bob

    Opinions on Purchases ...PLEASE!!!

    Ahhhh, Flames!!! T-Dick, I didn't imply...you inferred. Webster makes a nice litle book that explains the difference. :D Truth of the matter is you are correct. I figured the best way to get people to help me out with their opinions was to be arrogant, snarky, and belittling to them...who'd...

    New amp time! (I hope)

    Just went through the same process and really loved the Superchamp. I went with a bigger Fender Deluxe, but may still buy the Superchamp for a practice/backup amp.:cool:

    Benatar Guitar?

    Hey everyone, I just saw a CMT Crossroads concert featuring Pat Benatar with Martina McBride...and it was pretty darn good. I've always liked Benatar's guitarist (husband) Neil "Spyder" Giraldo and wondered if anyone out there knows what guitar he's playing these days (looks custom?). Don't...

    Removing Glossy Nitro?

    Thanks guys - but I bought this on black Friday for $589.00 before a $400.00 trade-in. It was either this one or a cream colored one. No matter of selling and/or buying is going to top that deal anytime soon. I guess I'll just leave it the way it is...

    Removing Glossy Nitro?

    Hey everyone, I recently bought a 2006 American Stratocaster, three-tone Sunburst glossy nitro. I've seen several other similar guitars that have a more subdued/satin finish and I simply love it! I asked the Luthier at Guitar Center if I could softly 0000 steel wool the gloss off my guitar and...
