    Replaced an EVH Wolfgang with a Jalen Origin

    I have an EVH Frankie Relic that I love, but it sounded about as VH as playing a Les Paul. It was thick, boomy, mushy etc. I wasn't sure but I thought it was probably the Wolfgang PU as it was super high output. I asked around online & decided on the Jalen Origin to try & get a more authentic...

    Need a pickup for an EVH Frankie Relic

    Thanks Al. I'm ordering an Origin tomorrow.

    Need a pickup for an EVH Frankie Relic

    Thanks Al. Do you think the Origin is more like the open PAF sound of the early VH album & the Pinnacle is the later Van Hagar / Wolfgang type sound?

    Need a pickup for an EVH Frankie Relic

    Has anyone put an SD 78 into their super strat? Just curious what it sounds like in a floyd equipped guitar. Also, does anyone know what was in Ed's 1984 Frankie? I love his tone on that almost as the 1st VH album.

    Need a pickup for an EVH Frankie Relic

    Lots: Marshalls, H&K, Mesa etc. The Wolfgang sounds really thick, compressed & dark.

    Need a pickup for an EVH Frankie Relic

    I just got a Frankie relic & although the guitar plays well, the Wolfgang PU is about as un-brown & un-VH sounding as can be. It's thick, compressed & boomy. I was thinking on a SD 78 but that's the original fender trem EVH white stripped guitar & it may be too low powered for a later day red...

    Guitar Decals for restoration

    I did a search for these guys & found scores of bad reviews. Defective orders, products never being sent & never any responses. Seems like they're running a scam site. You can see some of the reviews here: https://ca.trustpilot.com/review/luthierdecals.com

    Guitar Decals for restoration

    When you write a company twice to try & work something out & get no reply & then contact them pretending to be a customer wanting to order & they reply right away, you can be sure they're not on the up & up. Weird thing is that their site has bible quotes all over the place. Quite unchristian...

    Guitar Decals for restoration

    I ordered 2 ESP & 2 Charvel decals & all of them started to fall apart once they touched water. Could be a bad batch & I've e-mailed them 2x to try & work it out, but they do not respond at all. As much as I hate to do this, I will have to contact Visa & do a charge back.

    Guitar Decals for restoration

    I e-mailed them twice to see if we can work something out, but they never responded, so my guess is this is something they go through a lot & ignore. If they don't respond soon, I'm going to do a chargeback. Decals aren't supposed to dissolve as soon as they touch water.

    Guitar Decals for restoration

    I don't have the tools to make my own. Just looking for a site that sells quality water slide decals. The site I bought them from (luthierdecals.com) has dismal quality & the decals begin to dissolve as soon as they hit water. Anyone with info?????

    Guitar Decals for restoration

    I'm refinishing my headstock & need a new ESP headstock decal. I ordered from luthierdecals.com, but the quality is total garbage & all 3 decals melted & torn as soon as water hit them. Can anyone please direct me to a site that sells quality logo decals?

    Brand new Michael Schenker Group, HUH, I thought he was about to hang it up....

    Michael still has chops, but all of his music, & especially solos, now a days sound so generic & by the numbers. His old solos where so melodic, with a beginning, middle & end. Now they all sound like throw away solos & riffs.

    Synergy Amps

    I've been seriously looking into buying a Synergy power amp & module system. Although the preamps will probably be very accurate to the originals, I can't think that the issue will be with the power amp. The tubes, transformer, circuit etc play a huge role in the tone, & each company, from...

    Axe FX / Matrix rig problems

    I've been using my Axe FX with my monitors, headphones & for recording & it's sound great. I just bought a Matrix GT1000FX & a FR212 cab & unfortunately it sounds really bad. Bassy, loss of highs & really artificial sounding. Now, I know that the Matrix amp/cab combo is really popular for Axe...

    Axe FX & Pedals

    I was wondering if the Axe FX can take pedals well, in the same way an amp can. Is it possible to use my favorite pedals in the input & have it sound good?

    Best Matrix cab for Axe FX III

    I'm just about to purchase an Axe FX III & have settled on the Matrix GT1000FX for the amp, but torn between the FR212 & NL212. Does anyone here have experience with both cabs & which one would you recommend for the best tone & amp feel?

    Looking for Cab & power amp for Axe-FX

    I had a Kemper for a week or so a few years ago, but didn't like the tone & lack of real amp feel, but I want to take the plunge & set up an Axe-Fx rig. What do you Axe Fx guys suggest for a cab & power amp to simulate the feel of a real amp?

    Ceriatone 50w Yeti meets the Fryette PS2

    I just got a Fryette PS2 & this is what happened 10 mins out of the box. Suhr Modern + cable into Ceriatone 50w Yeti & the PS2 through a 2x12 cab with Celestion Heritage 65s. No effects or pedals & filmed with a cheap Logitech cam. I had no idea the Yeti sounded this ballsy & thick. :rock...
