Jan 20, 2012 - I have watched tons of people learn to solder. Biggest Tip... heat up the part, not the solder. In other words hold the soldering iron on the part you want to solder something to,,,, and then flow the solder onto the part. Tin the wire, and as soon as you touch the two things together, it bonds immediately. ......I can't believe that was actually Seymour Duncan, he is the coolest man alive!

Feb 5, 2012 - I have a set of seymour duncan california 50s in my usa std strat, they are very vintage sounding pups and I can recommend them to anyone, they have lots of chime and sparkle like the old 50s strats and they also have balls,

UKToneKing Says:

Feb 5, 2012 - SEYMOUR DUNCAN RULES BIG TIME, THEY ARE THE BEST PICKUPS ON THE PLANET AND THEY DON'T COST THE EARTH LIKE SOME OF THE OTHER ONES THAT ARE HANDWOUND OR WHATEVER, WHAT PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE IS THE HAND WOUND ONES ARE STILL WOUND BY A MACHINE JUST SOME ONE SPINS THE WIRE WHEEL ON A MACHINE, A BIT LIKE A SOWING MACHINE, TRUST ME IT DON'T MAKE THEM SOUND ANY BETTER

Feb 6, 2012 - Looking for a versatile set for my mim strat. I want something that has great bell like glassy tones ala SRV clean/Gilmour clean and something that can get down and dirty ala Hendrix/assorted classic rock bands. Doesn't have to be fender sets, just something under $200. I was really looking into the DiMarzio area p'ups. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
