So, are you going to make one with "HIP" instead of "OAK"?

Totally legit with mostly wrong hardware and pickups, and cost almost twice as much as a Squier.

That Mustang with the Jag tailpiece is really nice though, nicer than the Jay Turser.

They have a couple for sale at Thomann. They come with a very nice set of tools, a good cable, and an expensive strap which probably slides off your shoulder. red sherwood sea-foam Although I 'm not sure why they include tools for something that has a great chance of ending up in a glass case. Curio...

Needs Mastery trem. EDIT: Wait, is it just me or does the trem look like it's mounted really crooked? I was thinking the same thing. It has to be some sort of optical illusion. Right? :? I think the bridge is a little closer to the tailpiece on the bass side, as should be. In any case, it's actuall...

I have that cab. The Greenback is not a very loud speaker though. The Vintage 30 is much louder, but I don't like how it sounds in that cab (I've tried it).

Another problem, although not in danger of breaking anything, is that if you do hook up a bass speaker, the amp might still not produce quite the same frequencies in the low end. Although some people might like the sound anyways. For example in this video (not mine), he has the bass in the "nor...

Actually I played a Nano Small Stone and also thought it had a boost. I haven't tried any other Small Stone though. Also have a Boss PH2. I used to get some o.k. sounds with it, but I changed my setup and find it very thin. I've even tried adjusting the trim pots to no avail. And the bypass is horri...

When I first saw the pics of that Mustang I got all excited because I thought it was a dark blue metallic finish. Still I find it intriguing in boring black. Although the Indonesian and Chinese Mustangs are more interesting, not only the price but the finish options too. But the American one is not ...

Why would they? it's just a guitar. I don't think Fender have image rights over every photograph of a Strat. No, Fender don't, but Rickenbacker claim to have rights over every guitar they ever made and every guitar that looks vaguely like one they made. If you made a t-shirt with a line drawing of ...

LOVE THIS. All of my HEVVY METUL friends say that the HH jag is the only fender they'd buy, NOW I KNOW WHY I bet the single coils are much better for black metal though, you need mostly eardrum-piercing highs for that style. But they could also get this pedal: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Yes, a Telecaster bass pickup fits in the cavity with no routing, but it's not exactly the same size through the pickguard, although you might be able to squeeze it though without sanding the pickguard. Mine came with one already installed, I think the owner before me might have taken a bit off the ...

The problem with phasers is that most have a really annoying volume boost, the Phase 90 especially. It's an easy fix on the Phase 90, just swap a resistor with another resistor or a trim pot, but it's not true bypass, so that's another problem with this pedal. If you don't mind the volume boost, the...

I don't think he was asking about parallel/series, but if one of the pickups is reverse wound/reverse polarity.
