I have a Gibson USA Les Paul Studio 60's Tribute model that was made in 2011. The P90 in the bridge was swappped out and it's now setup with a GFS humbucker that is also tapped. The tone knob for the humbucker is wired to split it, so on "1" it's a single coil sound and on "10" it's the full...

I'm really tempted to make the cabinet an actual combo and put the amp in there as well, but I do like the portability of the small combo now.  I've googled a bunch and going 24"x21"x11"  I'm going to make to back panels, one closed and one open to see which one works the best.  I'll take some...

I picked up a 12" celestion cheap on ebay, trying to stay on a halfway cheapskate budget.  I'm going to build a cabinet tomorrow, trying to find plans, any suggestions on dimensions for a 1x12 cabinet, looking for good bottom end.

When I get some time I'll try and upload some clips to hear it.  With the volume dimed it has such a great old school marshall sound.  I never found a combination I liked in the 6505, but this thing has "it".  I did play an Egnater Tweaker and that had a really great crunch sound too.  The...

Started getting into blues and more classic rock so I sold my 6505+ and picked up a Marshall Class 5.  It's a fun little amp but has no bottom end with it turned up!  I have the high and mid knobs dimed and have the low on zero.  If I turn it past about 1 or 2 with the master volume all the way...

I know it's not Warmoth related but I bank on the knowledge around here since there is so much of it!  I'm thinking of picking up either a Melody Maker SG or Agile AL-3000 as a fun inexpensive traveling guitar.  I like the idea of buying a Gibson (I have an SG already) but I'm concerned about...

Looking at a good deal on a Gibson SG Classic which comes with the dual P90's.  I like the idea of the P90 in the neck but would like a little more thickness in the bridge.  The price is right on the guitar and I was wondering about the P90 size humbuckers?  I see Dimarzio makes the super...

What do you guys think about the "buzz stop" is that a solution to strings popping out?  It sounds like what I'm looking for, something different sounding but similar playing to a strat.  I'm looking for something to play some new genre's so this might be the ticket.  Thanks for all the replies...

I actually should have stated I thought it would sound more like a HSS strat in the bridge position.  It sounds like the neck specs are basically the same as the MIM strats?  Can you get a decent high gain sound out of the bridge pickup as well?  It seems like it would be a fairly versatile...

I'm in the mood for another guitar.  I really like my strat and they are my favorite necks.  I've been checking out the new MIM Jazzmaster Blacktop guitars.  Looks like the same neck as the strat.  I want something different and I like the combination p-90/Hum in the Blacktop guitar.  The bridge...

My EMG 81TW should be here tomorrow and I'm going to run a three way switch running a single coil in neck and the 81 in the bridge.  Can I wire it like the diagram below, minus the neck pickup for now (Waiting for the money to order one) and it work?  Obviously when the switch is in the neck...

Sweet thanks again!

Ok I thought I got it but just want clarify, can you tell me which color goes to which letter?  I couldn't find a diagram with the posts numbered?  Also I was hoping to wire just two volumes so which volume would go where?  Sorry for being confused :sad:

I have a CRL3 3-way switch I purchased on here a while ago.  My strat project is going to be a Dimarzio SDS-1 in the neck, no middle pickup, and humbucker in the bridge (Still deciding on which model).  I'm wiring a 500k volume knob in the standard volume position and in the first tone knob...

It's funny you said that I was just looking at all my crap and I'm pretty close!
