Gibson Les Paul 69s Tribute Studio Honeyburst guitar. WOW

I had to sell this one for some budget money, but it sure was wonderful to own it!

Killer sound, excellent finish, and even some bird's eye in the maple top.

A custom marriage of a Fender Ash FSR Strat Stratocaster and a 50s Reissue V-shaped neck... Noiseless, too!

I gypsied the bridge pickup, put in a nice treble bleed circuit, put on a dreamy 50s tinted V neck, and voila! with a few upgraded plastics, it's a masterpiece. One of my best pieces yet. All parts but the caps and pickguard are original Fender...

Some first-shot pics of my blue Gibson Explorer Melody Maker

These pics aren't the quality that are going into my written reviews, but I thought I'd post the rough-idea shots so you could some some of the finer points of the guitar... The ones from the online stuff don't quite give this much angle...

Two Little Gibson 57 Gold Humbucker Neck Pickup Pics

Thought these were neat enough to share...

Don Lace HEMI Humbucker Chrome Humbucker Pickups! Neck and bridge with solder details in the pics

These are nice. Especially if you want to heat up a Stratocaster that's HH or HSS. They're a little biting for a Gibby or Jackson, but they DO work very well in a hollowbody!

So simple, yet very beautifully done: A PRS Chrome Tuner from a Paul Allender Signature Guitar

Ibanez Artcore AG75 Tailpiece, close up pictures Trapeze

Nice and chrome-y. It was a good thing. I ended up putting a Bigsby B5 on the guitar, so the tailpiece came free. These are HARD to find!

WOW! The new Gibson 491T Bridge Pickup! Like a smoother Explorer 500T...

A review on http://theguitarreview.com is coming on this pickup! Stay tuned!!!!!!!

A new pickup variety from Gibson! A ceramic bridge humbucker that's meant to crunch nicely, but not quite the out-and-out rawk of an Explorer 500T. It does a great job. You can play almost smoothly if you finger pick lightly, but the pickup is SUPER-responsive when you dig in to the strings. You can't quite get a clean tone out of these (like the 498T and 500T), but you sure can rock!

Gibson '57 Classic in Shiny GOLD! Neck Humbucker Pickup from my Reverse Flying V

This is the creamiest thing since the originals. Wow. Just love these. I have a few different vintages, so the newer ones are on their way to eBay... This particular neck pickup is the smoothest thing I've played in a LONG time!

Gibson '57 Classic in Shiny GOLD! Bridge Humbucker Pickup from my Reverse Flying V

This is the creamiest thing since the originals. Wow. Just love these. I have a few different vintages, so the newer ones are on their way to eBay...

GFS Lil Puncher Humbucking pickup for Telecaster or Stratocaster

This pickup did very nicely. Quiet, 7 kOhms or so, very clear voice. Nice and loud in a vintage sort of way. A great way to do some neat coil-tapping or parallel-voicing in Strat/Tele slots! Not my best pics, but hey, they work!

First (for me!) Fender Genuine Blacktop Jazzmaster Neck Pickup Pictures!

A black neck pickup from my Fender Blacktop Jazzmaster. I've dropped a USA Jazzmaster pickup in the neck, but to be honest, this one's really VERY good! Sounds just like the Jazzmasters I've played over the years. Very nice, maybe even a little hotter than usual, or at list a little crunchier on gain...

First (for me!) Fender Genuine Blacktop Jazzmaster Bridge Pickup Pictures!

This pickup sounds great! Very Fender-y and very nice both clean and dirty. Interesting, they could have used the splittable design, like they did in the Blacktop Strats with the nickel covers, but chose to make it simpler for the Jazzmaster...
Interesting: a new slant for Fender... these pickups are made by different companies than in the past? These look like the backs of some of the import pickups I've seen elsewhere, like those in Epiphones...

Some ESP LTD H301 Pickups, Very nice, EMG Designed, GB built Humbuckers

These are NICE. They rival EMG HZ pickups. I still like the smoothness and the growl of the EMGs much better, but these are made by a real pickup company, G&B... These also have the nice brass knurled main screw grommets. They sound great (heavy, too!)

An EMG SAV Active Stratocaster Pickup Set in a Black Moto Fender Strat Pickguard!

Not a genuine Fender pickguard, but a nice one, plus a real EMG assembly. Very nice! LOVE SAVs. I have another set (much older and in ivory) on one of my happiest strats

Some White-Button Gibson Deluxe (Kluson-like) Tuners

Note: for legal purposes, these are GIBSONS, done in the Kluson style. These are not made by Kluson. I had them in a Grover box (talk about brand confusion!) for safekeeping until they eBayed... Nice tuners, really!
