That is so killer dude! Love everything about the design, and the enhancements!
Sorry about your doggo, I'm glad he is recuperating. Also sorry about the stress of the divorce.

In my experience it depends on the guitar. My '91 Sunburst liked one thing, my '92 another and '93 FM yet another (and forget the '81!). My '92 is the LOUDEST natural guitar I own, it didn't matter what pickups I put in this thing, it is a radiant MONSTER. So, hot pickups just overwhelmed everything and made mud, poor EQ split, it was really hard to try and dial in, ugh. Pickups that worked in my '91 and '93 sounded like a$$ in the '92. I'm not 100% certain what I ended up doing with the neck on the '92, I think it's a Wolfetone Dr. Vintage but it could be a Fralin Pure PAF. The bridge is a Fralin Pure PAF, lower wind, and I swapped in an A5 magnet as the stock A2 didn't quite cut it. It took a LOT of solder and patience to dial this guitar in.
On the flipside, the '91 Factory Floyd Sunburst has Murkat's in it that he threw in there probably a decade ago when the previous owner had him do a complete rework. I've never felt the need to mess with it as it sounds fantastic (don't break what ain't broken!). The '93 had a set of lower wind Marshallhead's in it until I stole them for a LP Standard a few months ago.
I don't know some of the other manufacturers and I'm sure they make good stuff; just the combo's I've tried and experiences related. Don't be surprised if someone's PRIZED FAVORITE pickups just don't work for you or for that particular guitar. Then again, the tried and true Wolfetone Dr. Vintage neck and Marshallhead bridge are pretty hard to beat (for RAWK applications).
This is great advice! I would add that it also depends on the style, and the amp... I've found that I really like a bridge Pearly Gates and a 59 neck with high(er) gain amps/settings. When I'm able to really push some air I like a CRANKED low gain (think earlier Marshall/TopHat) and an SH6 Distortion bridge/59neck set up. This one really allows you to use the guitars volume knob to control the dynamics. If you ever try it you will be hooked.

I like him best in AC/DC.

If you do frets regularly it is not a problem. If you are doing a one time job just be patient.
I'll take that a step further... If you are doing a one time job just farm it out.

Glaswerks started out over 25 years ago as a hobby, but his work looked as pro as any name brand even then.

Glaswerks makes some kick ass amps in the ODS realm.

But back to your original post. No, I don't want to strangle a girl who stands up and speaks about what she believes in, even in jest, over and over... even if I disagreed with her.
Really? 'Nuff said. 😂

With a post title like that, I don't feel the need to read the article 🤣
You might want to go ahead and read it, it's not about Harold Ensley.

A Tweed, in my opinion, is not what you could call clean (except at lower volumes.) They tend to overdrive quickly, not a lot of headroom. Lot's of "organic" tone, if that makes sense. They also tend to be loose feeling (and sounding) compared to other designs. Black Faces have more headroom than tweeds do, and louder cleans comparatively. It's hard to describe, you need to spend a little time with them and get a feel.
What are you looking for, what type music do you play?

Just to the East of Las Cruces, NM. They are pretty spectacular.
They ARE spectacular! I have to admit that I thought I was making a friendly jab at the Oregon mountains when I typed that.
Again, congrats on the entire kaboodle! That's a lot of change!

Custom pick guards. Who makes them?
in Ask the HFC Experts
Posted
I got one from https://pickguardheaven.com/ for my Vector12 yrs or so ago, and was a perfect fit/lineup. They don't seem to carry Hamer guards anymore, not much demand I'm sure.
