Makes me feel silly for ever selling my Squier Deluxe Strat. Really digging the look of the new Squier CV 70s Strat, I'd like to pick one up in white when I can.

Now earlier today, I went to the post office to sign for and pick up my phaser, and I've found that it not only works really well in front of the Boneshaker, but just generally is really nice at making my guitar go swoosh swoosh swoooooooosh, especially in front of some delay, Boneshaker for extra s...

New Pedal Week

So I got a bunch of money for Christmas and my birthday and put some of it towards some new pedals, and I found some sweet deals on Reverb. I got myself a DOD Rubberneck, a DOD Boneshaker, and a Boss Phase Shifter. So I got the Boneshaker last friday, which gave me some time to work out the EQ, and ...

They came in yesterday, the tort backplate is a touch darker than the pickguard, but it doesnt really matter, since it'll be up against me anyways. All five springs are in, the tremolo is locked down tight. Oh, and the plate holes only matched up to two corners at a time, so i just put new holes in,...

the Lil Killer is nothing much to write home about i changed my mind, this pickup rules actually. it's nice and clear and not muddy at all, and even just down at 6k, it sounds great with dirt. really complements the 59 well. my only complaint is the weird ass fucking huge countersunk mounting screw...

If it's true, I hope that they will make the SH version of the Cyclone and not that piece of stratguar-trash with triple SSS coils And hopefully this time, with better pickups that are actually matched, since the 2011 Cyclone I had sounded so bad that even my dumb ass tore it apart to try improving...

It's finished! It took me a few hours of tweaking to get things right (and then play around with it for fun) but it's basically done. Really glad to have this done, it feels really nice to play, and the Vintage '59 humbucker sounds really nice. the Lil Killer is nothing much to write home about, but...

I wanted to get a good listen to what the pickups sound like, as well as figure out proper pickup heights, so i figured out a temporary solution http://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/537816189225664523/538905631331975169/IMG_20190126_181801.jpg I stuffed the pots in between the pickups and put the s...

No images today, nothing interesting yet, but I did come across some issues. Pickups and harness arrived today, so after a little difficulty installing the Lil Killer (which comes with the weirdest fucking choice of screws ive ever seen for a pickup, they look like theyre meant for a pickguard) i wa...

I know I've been posting a lot but I was putting on a new set of strings to get them stretched out and ready for playing once i install everything else when I remembered I have a cheap soundhole pickup i got from GFS a couple years ago, so I put it into the space i had cut out in the middle of my ol...

DOD Rubberneck on (clearance?) sale

Noticed that DOD Rubbernecks have gone down in price, they used to be $250 but I've been seeing tons of listings for them around $150 new on Reverb. Snagged an open box model at $100 shipped, if anyone is interested. I also heard about how the entire DOD/Digitech team had been laid off last year and...

i'm looking forward to someone still ditching those bridges for a mastery or something and reselling their stock bridge, ever since staytrem has kinda pulled out of international orders.

im really curious to know what the difference is going to be between the VM and CV offset models. that "fender designed" single coil stuff makes me wanna say theyre more vintage voice pickups rather than the modern duncan designed pickups? that would be fucking incredible if so. that would...

but without the stupid looking superfluous jazz trem plate on the back, i dig it a lot actually also just about NUTTED over those new 12 strings. I'm not too mad about that powercaster either, i like how it hits on classic fender offset style but at the same time, its something new and modern lookin...

The seller i ordered the pickguard from already printed out a shipping label, and the other seller messaged me to tell me that he'll be shipping the knobs out tomorrow! Love it when orders have a quick turnaround like that. I can't remember how long GFS takes to process their orders, but hopefully i...
