Interesting about the selects. waaaaay back didn't you mention some discontinued EMG humbuckers? I can't remember which ones at all.
and hopefully the selects (actually, they're unlabeled, so they could very well be something else) won't be too bad.

Hey Impulse,
I know you have some EMG loaded guitars, so I thought I'd ask for your opinion first. Do you know anything about the single coil sized ones? I'm asking because I'm picking up a guitar with what I believe are EMG selects. For $20 each, I'm not sure what to think. These are older ones, so they could be different.
I can't say I loved the EMGs I've used before, but hopefully these won't be too bad.

Hey... I know you use flickr, so I thought I'd ask...have you got a ton of views recently for no apparent reason? with the few pictures I have, I was getting a few views a day, and in the past hour, I've got 26 apparently and it's still going up. mostly the photostream, though (rather than the pictures themselves)

I must be cursed haha.
Sorted the neck out (mostly). took it off and tightened the truss rod slightly...a little tighter than I'm comfortable with though, but not to the point where...SNAP Looks better, BUT...another problem. the B string seems to be slipping out of the tuner. I don't understand that at all....going to try to do that thing with the knot when I (re)re-string it tomorrow.
gut pics are up if you didn't see them.
Also, the neck appears to be shimmed. Also has filled mounting holes from when it was on the Ibanez body

Hmm...just thought I'd ask. I sorted the issue with the strings flying out of the nut on that guitar (lowered the tuner poles - compared to the tele they were a LOT higher)...
might sound stupid, but would that add any tension to the neck? i had the strings off for a day, but the side where the tuners were adjusted has bowed somewhat. Other side is normal.

cool, just sent a message - and also, you probably don't want your phone number where everyone on here can see it, so i'll delete that last message. text me back if you got it.

What do you think of this one?
Not sure about the tuners...and the pickguard looks hideous! also the headstock shape...may have just been what he used back then (1998).

Hey
Here's something that might interest you.
You know the Manson/BKP humbucker?...was just playing the Custom T which has that pickup, and that pickup seems to have a LOT to do with Matt's sound..

Sounds exactly like that if dialed in properly...it has that b33fy mid tone to it. (which the nailbomb lacks).

ohai
the main problem for me was figuring how to take the thing apart i first ended up trying to take the chassis out by itself, but it requires sliding the board it's attached to out with it....even then it can't really come out that far because of the cables of the reverb tank and speakers. what a strange design...

Not sure if you picked it up yet, but let me know what happens - it SHOULD be in one piece still!
How are you liking the silverburst so far?

ok then, I went ahead and sent £10 because paypal would end up eating up some of the money with their fees anyway. Not sure if you'll have to go pick up the mic or if they'll try to deliver it though?
