As far as budget I was thinking in the range of around $100 per pickup

I'm also into psychedelic rock if that helps, and the indie beach rock sort of tone, like mac demarco for instance

I'm trying to get into jazz and blues, and then branch my way out into more heavy rock and distortion based riffing, so I figure I need a set with a bouncy acoustic tone, than transitions well into distortion, for the bridge pickup I'm not really sure what I'm looking for to be honest, I just...

P.S. the neck humbucker doesn't sound too bad honestly, but I'd still like to get a better set.

It's been a year since I last messed with the electronics in my guitars (or even did anything with a soldering iron) and I'm looking to improve my eclipse over the summer. From what I remember I'm working with a pair of LH-150 pickups (cheapo pickups right out of the box) and a coil tapping...

I was thinking about going with the schaller trem, but from what I've seen and heard, the stability, tone and sustain on that one isn't great, also you sort of just leave your tail piece unused. The les trem seems just minimalistic enough, it doesn't change too much about the look of the les...

it seems like a rather unused tremolo so there's no one making a trem stabilizer for it, I'm just wondering if there's a way to keep the other strings from going out of tune during a bend, maybe some way to tighten the spring or something?

Thinking about buying a duesenberg les trem for my eclipse, there's not much info about it online it seems. I'm big on unison bends and double stops, and i'm wondering if anyone here has experience with the thing and can tell me whether that'll be an issue, If so, how could I possibly counteract...

I always WANTED to play left handed but then someone told me that it costs more for a lefty guitar and being that I knew nothing about guitar back then I went with it, not knowing that I could just flip the strings. I guess It's about learning to play differently? also I always find that I go to...

The stratocaster is the first guitar I had, when I'd gotten to play a little better I bought a JS King V with a floyd rose, so that It would be more easily flipped when I finally decided to learn to play left handed but that was stolen, so I ended up buying an ltd eclipse (forgetting about the...

just flipped the nut/strings on my plywood strat copy to start learning to play left handed, I'm a lefty and I wanted to play left handed but the first person to tell me about guitar told me it'd be an ordeal so I never did, but I got some strings and decided nows a good time, I figure it's...

Just bought a set of planet waves auto-trim locking tuners. They work great on my esp eclipse but I'm having trouble with the tuning buttons. I've never liked the tuning buttons that they come with from a visual perspective on a les paul style guitar, the eclipse originally came with tulip tuner...

Leaving for college in about a week and I've been wanting to buy an inexpensive multi-effects pedal for a while now (all I have is a fender m80 amp) I've had my eyes on the tonelab st for more than a month but just as of a couple of minutes ago I stumbled upon the G1Xon while I was looking for a...

thanks, I'll check out semi-flats on juststrings as soon as possible, string noise and the fact that they keep cleaner longer was the reason I wanted flatwounds but semis seem like a good idea

after a while of playing and after trying some different bends, I'm thinking I should drop down a gauge, so I'll be buying 10 gauge strings instead, more easy of playing and less fighting with the strings for bends
