Wonderful stuff, Bryan! Was it hard to take out the pots and replace the pickups? I am about to do the very same :) It was actually very easy! There was enough wire attached to the switch tags to allow the pots to come out of the F-holes. The pots were hardwired to each other by those huge caps whi...

1981 ES150...the journey begins!
Well, the autopsy begins! I really like this guitar. It has a big round neck and it sounds wonderful acoustically. The wood has really dried out over the years and it has a very sharp snap when you tap it.....like a really nicely tuned snare drum. The only let down is that the pickups have weakened ...

Brian, I have a Deacci set now in my LS320CS, I gladly would send to you for trying them .... Wow Luis that's a great offer and very kind of you! Really appreciate it. What do you think of them? I go for lowish PAF type output and if they are the same you can perhaps offer your thoughts on them. If...

Hi Emiel.......I seem to have got the collector bug! Yes, I mean Spence from Shed Pickups. I have quite a few sets of humbuckers, single coils and P90's of his. They are great pickups and they can be quite loud. Although I always go for around 7.5k neck and 8k bridge they are quite strong in output....

Now that I've had these semi's for a while it's easier to hear their own different voices in an objective way. The ES135 is the one I've been picking up the most. It has what I would call a traditional semi voice and has 3 good sounds. It's kind of not vintage voiced but not modern either and I just...

Sorry to read this. At least the guitar you have is a good one and you want to keep it. I don't know why companies would do that. They only get away with it once and they have lost a potential future customer in yourself and not only that, in the age of the Internet they have accrued a bad reputatio...
