If you're ever going to buy them and you're not sure which you want, email them with your guitars woods and the style you play and the guy who makes them will give you a recommendation, and he really knows his pickups. I'm getting rid of my current set because my guitar is being sold, but as soon as I buy a new guitar I'll be picking up another new set for sure.

Handen posted:Please elaborate? It's just the switch I think. I took it apart once and cleaned out the switch and it worked fine for a few months, but it's back to crackling/not properly switching at all (like the wah is engaged, but it's so quiet you can barely hear it). I guess I could fix it if I had a replacement switch. My cousin gave it to me and he said when he first opened it up it was filled with dead bugs from the 70s

mofmog posted:About as compelling as Dragonforce. Woah, low blow man. That stuff is toneless drivel. I like Vai because when he's not wanking live (which he is sometimes guilty of), his playing is less cliche than most other rock music. I don't know, maybe I like to hear more than the pentatonic scale once in a while. I've never understood the Satriani/Vai hate, since they are both very melodic players as compared to people like Dragonforce who mindlessly sweep arpeggios for five minutes and call it a piece of music. Thanks to people like Herman Li the attitude speed=bad is cropping up. Fast playing has its place, and can do wonders for building tension. Anyway, that is an interesting pedal. I like how in the video it makes the fuzz go insane.

Steve Vai is like a Kincaid. Technically it's pretty good I guess, but in the end it's pretty goddamn kitsch in the maddening, "JEOIFJE" kind of way.

Vai's not the best, but he's far from the worst. Also, the JEM's handle is useless, and I hate flowery inlays. But he's nowhere near as bad as most guitarists, and he does care a lot about his music, so v v.In other news, I loving love Zebrawood. Does anybody make a 7 string Zebrawood guitar that's decent?

You'd still need to take it somewhere to get it set up, but that shouldn't be more than a couple hundred dollars. Or an Upton Laminate would be a great bet, and that one shouldn't require too much work after the fact. Just don't screw up like I did and get a bass with a poly coated fingerboard (EM-1.)  I'm probably going to end up getting an Upton Standard Hybrid in a couple years DEUCE SLUICE fucked around with this message at 20:00 on Jan 7, 2009 |

While you're all ragging/loving on strats, tell me which one I should pull the trigger on (if any)? $1330 AUD shipped 2001 deluxe with SCNs (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280298015791) A 96 standard with EMG actives for $1250 (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Fender-strat...trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318) Or a brand new standard for $1600 shipped (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/FENDER-STRAT...trkparms=66%3A2|65%3A1|39%3A1|240%3A1318) All prices AUD. They all look pretty drat sexy, but I probably most like the look of the 2001 deluxe, and the SCN noiseless seem a good pickup choice to me. Just wondering if anyone thinks anything in particular about the years of manufacture deluxe vs. standard etc. that I should know.
