Look at this beauty that jumped onto my table for some love
Kiesel, flamed maple/Cali burst. Zebra wood fretboard. She is getting deep clean and full set-up. Can't wait to hear this one when I'm done

@Tim Mugherini zebra wood abolone inlays. Dang it sounded so good. Played it for about an hour. I have a kiesel, I think it sounds better than mine. Just to make sure it doesn't taking mine to work tomorrow! 👀👀😩
Need ideas on distortion pedal
I have ds1w and proco rat 2, just looking for ideas on different pedals. Sound I'm looking for is more of a Zakk wylde. I do like the crunch channel on Marshall pushed by tube screamer. Was also wondering about the blues driver and boss super overdrive. (zakk uses) One can go broke just buying pedals. Inputs annnnndddd GO!

@Tim Mugherini I only spent 15 minutes with them last night. Very inpressed with Boss super overdrive, fx55b... It definitely has that 80's distortion. I love it. You don't get that warm distortion from Ds1 or Rat. Definitely a good addition to a pedal board. Sounded real good on low gain dirty channel

@Tim Mugherini yeah from reviews the c sucked bad. I found a couple on amazon genuine fx55 versions for 50 bucks. I almost pulled the trigger on one, but for once had some self control!
She's on the operating table
She will feel better and sound better. Definitely look better. I don't think I've ever spent more on pickups than I did the guitar.

She should scream. I have some Ibanez stock pickups if anyone wants them.

Never gave an update, that guitar sounds great. Has a good chug, and then nice highs. Love it
Cheap and effective way to change the tone
Guitars have a capacitor on tone pot going to ground. Every tone pot will have one. The reason for this is to send unwanted frequencies to ground. Basically a high pass filter. Single coils have 250k pots and . 047 uf (microferad) capacitor . If you had 500k pots on single coils tone is really bright. Humbuckers use 500k pots and. 022uf capacitor. You know when you roll back the tone how it get almost muffled, here why. A pot is just a variable resistor. Add a capacitor it's a variable resister with a high pass filter. Sending unwanted high frequencies to ground. So, you can change pots to alter your tone, that's to much change and allot of work, or change the capacitor which is easy and fast. Type of capacitor used also changes tone but not allot. Russian paper and oil work good but expensive. In guitar world cherry drops are most widely used. There is no formula, or hard and fast rules since tone is different person to person and Guitars. Type of pickups, high/low output ect. High output pickups will be effected more than low output pickups. It's just a trial thing. I've done it with all of my guitars. Some I've dropped the humbucker tone capacitance to . 015 uf, others took it up to. 033 uf capacitance. Lower capacitance lots more highs through. High output Humbuckers would quickly get to high lowering capacitance. Once you find the capacitance you like, then when you roll off tone pot it will be smoother and not so dark and muffled. Just a way you can alter your tone for a couple of bucks. Enjoy

@Rob Eisley also what all do you have plugged in? You said all pedals are battery powered. Just amp? Do you have laptop, TV fan anything near the amp. If so get any electronics away from amp. When running amps if you plug things into different plugs you are creating a ground loop. I have 2 amps, Marshall full stack, Randall 1/2 stack 2 different pedal boards all plugged into a power conditioner in one socket. Also do not use surge protectors not made for a studio for an amp. They are not isolated and can introduce that hum. Hope it helps.

@Rob Eisley no, that means it's grounded correctly.
Reinvigorating Practice
Well, I didn't go to the local guitar store to inspire my practice, but that was a side effect. Who knew that playing with different guitars would do that. LOL I tried a couple PRS's. I still can't get comfortable with their necks. I also played a Schecter that I liked quite a bit.

Love schector, I have 2 of them. Bodies are smaller. They are great guitars. They come standard with grover 18/1 tuners and we'll made guitars. I'm looking for a Reaper 6.
