Alright. I'll cut straight to the problem guys. Noticed that the audio output from my Formula FA2 was weak/really buzzy. So I opened up the electronics, nothing looked wrong. However, I opened up the jack plate, and one of the wires was disattached. No problem there, but I accidently dettached the other wire as well. No problem there either, I can solder and such. But I need to ...

i'd get it if i were you...

Thanks Skeeter, That's a start. I too had heard of the connection to the Bentley line but had never heard of the connection to Samick. Do you have any idea where those were manufactured?

Well, IMO, this is what a signature should be. There has been a lot of complains about signature guitars that are really production models with different paint and pickups but sell for 3 times the price... This guitar has a lot of cool modifications, and gadgets that make it really unique...even in you dont like Les Pauls, check it out! a pretty cool guitar. What really interests ...

I just wanna know where I am in the grand scale of pick sizes. I like to use a 3mm personally, but what abotu everybody else?

Hello again....It has been a while since I posted here. I have been playing again for a few months and find my self in the market for a new axe. I am looking at spending under $600.00. I have a MIM Strat that I have been playing. I am thinking about the Peavey Signature EPX in the Tiger Eye finish. Any thoughts. I have tossed around the idea of an Epi Les Paul, but I like the weight ...

I was wondering, how much does a Marshall Amp help the tone if your playing on a Gibson? Im thinking of trading in my starter Fender Frontman Amp for some kind of MG Marshall Combo Amp since im getting a Gibson. Thanks!

Just on the off-chance that you thought that your pickup swap made your guitar a "custom", you should check this from Arul Guitars http://arulguitars.com/custom_guitars.htm Classical on one side, steel string on the other with 20 sympathetic strings and 22 "harp" strings -- 54 strings in total, plus a turkish drum plus a tabla built in. Who needs that ditzy drummer, anyway?

I'm going to toss in the black horse, if you will...of RockMonkeyGuitars.com. I have a set from Chris, and I love it. A pair of Swingin' Cool's or '62 Smooth Smooth Grooves in the neck and middle, and a Smooth Groove CEW in the bridge would probably sound great for you. I have a 62 Smooth Groove in the neck, a custom wound Swingin' Hot in the middle position (with coil tap), and a CEW in ...

I can't decide between a Fender Stratocaster (probably Squier because i dont want to spend a LOT of money) or a Les Paul Epiphone. I want it for styles like rock, blues, well all of the non-heavy stuff! I played a ...

hi everyone I currently use an Epi Valve Junior, and it just doesn't have the clean headroom that im looking for. How much more headroom does a 15 watt amp add? ive been looking at amps like the Fender Blues jr. or the Blackheart Handsome devile, which are both 15 watts (15 or 7 for the blackheart). I've heard that a tube amp is 10 times as loud as a SS, so would 15 watts not be that much ...

Could just be typical single coil hum. What exact model guitar is it and which pups does it have? Does the noise get louder the closer you get to the amp and does it get noisy in every pup position?
