I'll keep an eye out ,give a call to pickers exchange on Brainerd road near the tunnel.

yep its by comedy catch. Humbuckers are decent folks too. I got my Cab from them. Cost alot less than others plus they have cool stuff to play with in that place.

I just love to go to loud music stores.
  It doesn't matter if you have 2 - 50 kids wailing away with different heavy metal noises.  It all sounds like a car crusher/ shedder that need a lot of TLC. I have always wondered why a person would spend a ton of money for really nice "Axe" only to add "stuff" to make it sound like "Playtime in Iraq"
  Rap stuff is not as easy as you think . You need a 2x4 with 1 string and a pick-up, LP turn table that doesn't make one revolution and be able to hold a mic in one hand, "Do the Walk" from one side of the stage to the other, Speak in a monotone voice for 5 min. without taking a breath, speak in a unknown tonque and all the while fondling your crotch. Now there is real talent and you could get most of your equipment at Home Depot and not the "High price" music store.
   Anthony, What would a lead sheet look like for Rap Crap ?

So Bugtech,  I can see you more into Tupac and ICE-T  than de MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice scene.  But Super Freak be my motto..
  Word! Dog!  that be the bugshizzel,  my dubfizzel.

I hate strats they sound then but heh I'm spoiled. And oh yeah We made you say pot. :lol:

Maybe ,maybe not. I agree the quality of the electronics gives you most of your sound But show me a strat that has the sustain of a Les Paul. :shock:  Ain't gonna happen. And on top of the thin bodied sound of a Fender the single coils just sound plain twangy.  :oops:

Take away all the elctronics and get down to acoustics and I think you know better to say that what kind of wood it's made of has no difference in the sound. Then theres the bracing and so forth all effect sound on an acoustic. Say the x bracing of your dear old Martin that gives it that punch versus Gibson bracing that lacks that punch but has a little more on the bottom end.

So if you think about it yeah electronics make a difference but the wood and construction do have an effect even on even an electric. I'm pretty up to snuff on the workings/wiring of electrics.I'm sure you can chicken pick circles around my novice playing .But I'm pretty sure I can wire Two  4 conductor humbuckers with coil taps,and reverse phasing ala Jimmy Page pretty dang fast.

Yeah I know pots, like 500k cts pots?Or maybe them 250k Fender type?Long shaft or short how do you want em? Wants some tone caps with em?Bumble bee's,white tigers,black beuties,Hovlands?

My luck you probably know as much about guitars as you do volks wagens. I know a little mostly what I've learned being around the club,don't amount to much. But I'm more than educated on electric guitars and I even know a little about them big wooden ones too.

well enough harrassment for now I'm sure this will get you going. :lol:

I knew you would bring up the touch/style thing. And as usuall you are 100% correct. I read some music and when I try to play it it doesn't sound right. It does come down to the way you note it or mute the srtings,how you pick etc.... And just for support Edwards is now making a darn good Les Paul for a fraction of the cost alot of big name have started using them onstage so that'll tell you there pretty good.
