    4ohm output into 8ohm cab

    I would like to try my Vibrolux into an isocab. But the amp is 4ohm out, & the isocab is 8ohm. Folks have told me that it would be fine. But, I'd rather tap into the wisdom of the forum. thanks

    Wood for Special

    I have a Faded Double-cut. They use a brass (?) grommet for the p90's to screw into. One of the neck ones has pulled loose again. Already glued it once or twice. Been searching for a plate for a while no luck. Thought about making one too. So now I'm thinking about glueing some wood in the...

    P90 mounts

    I've been trying to track down a source for the metal mount that I've seen some folks have that's screwed into the guitar & the p90's screw into. Anyone know where I can get a pair of these?

    Lose the plate?

    Got a loose nut in my 85 Custom between the guitar top & the plate. It's driving me crazy. Pretty much decided to ditch the metal control plate since I have to pull everything out to fix it. Such a pain to do. Besides having to run a ground wire, anything I need to be concerned about. Thanks

    Deal or no deal ?

    I have Duncan 59s in my custom. Have a chance to get a pair of Florence VooDoo 59s (neck pickup is Alnico 3 7.9 and the bridge pickup is Alnico 5 at 8.1) for $170 shipped. I've searched and found lots of threads on the VooDoos. So Deal or No Deal?

    pickup advice/comments?

    Since swapping out electronics is such a joy, I want to try & get it right the first time. Never have been real happy w/ the 57classics in my 01 335. Have adjusted height, polepieces etc. Either harsh or dull. Even put AIV mags in. Love the SD59s in my LPC & suspect they'll do well. So I'm...

    Professor, I'm calling your out!

    To thank you for recomending Steve D for a refret! :salude Just picked up my LPC, finally gave in & got real frets on it. Had the wide super low frets. Like getting a new guitar. He's got my 335 now for a new nut.

    Mayday- SS ABR stud mod 335 Mayday

    Didn't want to hijack This thread so... Picked up the proper stainless steel studs @ the Home Depot along w/ the nuts to remove the existing studs for my 335. Took a careful measurements & then removed them. Then I used a small allen wrench to see where the bottom of the holes were. It touched...

    57 vs 59

    Looking for comparisons from folks who've had 57 classics & SD 59s in the same guitar. *search function doens't like 2 word searches or anything under 3 characters, so I got nowhere.
