I'm considering upgrading my Ibanez Super 58 humbuckers to Fralins or Lollars and just thought that since the Euro-Pound exchange rate is still quite good, I could maybe order the pups from UK. Could someone please help me find some shops that deliver to EU that might carry these boutique pups...

What do you think about this one? It looks like it needs some work (frets, tuners), but the starting price is just 100 ?, don't know about the reserve thought. It is in the northern Finland, so no possiblity to go and check it first. http://picasaweb.google.fi/ganesrocker/EpiphoneMIJ98#

I spent a nice week in London with my girlfriend, sights, museums, theatre, nice food and ales, and three afternoons on Denmark street playing all the steelstring acoustics I could get my hands on. Finally found what I was looking for, a beautiful Lakewood M-14 CP with B-Band system on it at...

Anyone else wondering what's the real reason for Gibson to post an ad on this forum? And look at the thing, how much more scarier could it be? :o

There's a 1978 Greco Les Paul for sale on a finnish auction site. Never seen anything like it before, it's not a Super Real. The price is now little over 200 ? and there are lot's of bidders. The auction closes 25th february so I could image it will sell for maybe 500? or so. I think I'll pass...

I've had this bridge pup for a couple of months now and I was just wondering if someone could tell me something about it. I bought it from the net and the seller said it was from an 80's Tokai. It's about 11 kOhms.

Does anyone have an opinion of these pickups. There's one for sale on a finnish auction site starting at 33 euros. Worth a try?

Does anyone else have the same problem as I have, that it's almost impossible to play decently in guitarshops? I consider myself to be a solid player (19 years playing behind me), but everytime I go to try out some gear, I sound like a righty with two left hands. Usually I relax after five or so...

Am I the only one who thinks it's a bit odd to call one's guitars "she"? I know the sailors used to call their ships "she", but does it really work with guitars? I mean, you almost have to use the expression "I want to buy her". Hmm. I'm not really a feminist but still it sounds weird to me. And...

I've been planning to make another short notice trip to Japan before christmas, this time to Nagoya (my girlfirend flies there as a crew member). If I get the ticket and some cheap accomodation, I'm sure I will travel. Does any of you nice collagues here know anything about Nagoya, especially...

Have to ask your opinion on compressors. I've recently started to play in a funky soul band and I thought that maybe a nice compressor would make it easier to make my clean rhythm-licks more even. I have very little experience on compressors, so please share your wisdom. It doesn't have to be...

First! I picked up a second-hand Ibanez Soundtank Tremolo yesterday for 25 euros. I read some encouraging reviews from harmony-central, and since I've been looking for a affordable tremolo-pedal for some time now, I decided to give it a change. The pedal is made from plastic and it's not the...

This is what I got from my trip to Osaka a couple of weeks ago. Check the link to my myspace: http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=143525492&albumId=986858 I've been playing it for about two weeks now, worn out the first set of D'addario 011's. The...

Me and my girlfriend decided to take a short notice trip to Osaka. Does anyone here know any good guitarshops with new and especially second-hand guitar gear in Osaka? I heard that used stuff is really cheap in Japan, is this true? Any help is appreciated. Also any general travelin tips are...

Got some smoke out of the tubes on my last gig and I figured that it's time to chang the tubes, even though the amp still works. It's a Crate V3112 combo, nice sounding amp with four EL-84's in the power section and three ECC83's in the preamp. I thought it's best to change the preamp tubes as...

Hello! I sold my Tele yesterday and now I'm ready to go test a second hand LS-85 F from 2005. If it's as good as the new ones I've tested in shops I'll probably buy it. Of course I want to make it as good as possible, so what are the essential modifications for this guitar? The faber kit...

Hello everybody! Greetings from Helsinki. My first post here. I'm currently playing a Telecaster 52 AVRI but I've been thinking about switching back to a Paul-type guitar, my very first electric was a Maison-brand Paul copy. We have quite a good shop here in Helsinki that sells Tokai's, so that...
