    Pickup wiring question

    I am getting ready to solder up an HSS pickguard using a Dimarzio AT-1, Cruiser, and Pro Track. The Dimarzio diagram shows the tone cap soldered to the right lug of the tone pot (Dimarzio EP1201 pot) while the Seymour Duncan diagrams show the tone cap is soldered to the middle lug of the tone...

    How many of you are Strat guys?

    Yep, love Strats. They are the Legos of guitars. Build them however you like them

    Is Randall Smith no longer with Mesa?

    Imo, there should have been an announcement about his retirement. I feel that level of respect is due.

    I made an awesome Strat parts guitar

    The 59 profile is great , IMO. I have average size hands and the 59 fits the curve of my hand in a very natural feeling. It is not a thin neck but does not feel super fat. It just rests naturally in my hand with a just right thickness feel.

    I made an awesome Strat parts guitar

    I will see what I can do. First, I still need to do a total setup. I basically eyeballed intonation and saddle height with the bridge. Thew bridge and body were brand new. So I need to adjust all that and fine tune the action and stuff like that. But, I will try to do something even though it is...

    I made an awesome Strat parts guitar

    The body is really light. I did not weigh it but seller stated 3 pounds and 7 ounces. Sustains great, very, very resonant.

    I made an awesome Strat parts guitar

    I recently picked up a pine strat body so I put this together with parts I had. I think it turned out great. You can see in one of the pics that I added some Wago connectors and a grounding lug so I can change pickguards without soldering. Here are the specs: Body - Fender American Pro II...

    Neck humbucker (SC size) recommendations for Kramer SM-1

    I have an Injector bridge in the neck paired with a Super D in the bridge and it matches up well and sounds great with 500k pot like the Super Distortion.

    Maybe i need a modeler and SS power amp?

    I use a KSR Ceres for my preamp with a Duncan Powerstage 170 poweramp. Sounds amazing to me but, I just play at home so take that for what it's worth.

    Master Effects PMEQ...Master of Puppets studio EQ pedal

    I would also recommend the GUP Tech PPTSD Parametric EQ. It's a full parametric 3 band EQ for about $150. I bought one to try and it replaced my MXR 10 band, something I thought would never happen. I just ordered another for my other board. https://guptech.ca/products/pptsd-parametric-eq

    Given the current tube situation, what's your fav solid state power amp these days?

    KSR Ceres into a Seymour Duncan Power Stage 170 sounds great to me and fits on a pedal board.

    Looking for a new Noise Gate to replace ISP Decimator II pedal

    I picked up a Pylon and was extremely disappointed. Seemed cool so I gave it a shot. When it arrived I first tried it straight in last in line before my amp except for an original Decimator right after it so I could compare the two. There was a Maxon OD808 and tuner before the gates and also my...
