I currently have the stock MK2 pickups in my ES-130, and they sound nice... but as you know guitarists often just want more ! I was looking at high end PAF pickups and was wondering if they were that much better than the stock pickups... of course the best way would be to try them but since...

Well yes it's a pricey operation so I really want to make sure I will benefit from this. Problem is you never know if it's worth it or not unless you try, and trying this ain't free ! While we're at it, I need your help. My toggle switch is malfunctioning : the neck position is sometimes...

I'm thinking about upgrading the electronics of my es-130. Anybody knows if a switchcraft lp toggle switch will fit ? It seems very long Will I have to enlarge the holes a bit ? And finally, has anyone noticed a definite improvement when changing the stock mk2 pickups ? They sound nice but I...

Well that's the first time I hear that. CTS pots are used in very expensive instruments (high end tokai or navigator for example) and they are generally considered to be the best pots for electric guitars. Now those alessandro pots may be better but the prices are a joke. 50$ for one pot ? Very...

I mostly play jazz and classic rock, and I can get the sounds I want with them, so everything is fine :).

I like the mkII's so far so I don't want to change them. I did other mods : installing a tusc nut, and replacing the bridge with a tonepros.

They seem fine, but I wanted to put the best electronics available, just in case. I'm kind of a perfectionist, and I sometimes tend to be obsessed by very futile things :).

Very nice link, thanks. Do the jack and switch holes need to be enlarged too ?

I'm in france. Thank you for the link :)

What is the cheapest way to buy a gibson like cover for europeans ? I'm not willing to pay more than 10 euros shipping included for a piece of plastic...

I love watching skilled luthiers at work. But I'm wondering, what's the purpose of doing this by hand ? A machine does the job really well too. Maybe this is interesting only for people who don't want a standardized instrument, and prefer to have something unique. Other than that, I don't...

Hello, I would like to know if cts pots and switchcraft switches fit into a tokai Es-130 without any modification. Also, I'm a little afraid of doing the rewiring myself because of the difficulties related to the guitar construction. Do you have any advices for me ? Thanks

I'm confused : what does the term "faber kit" exactly designates ? The alu tail piece ? Another thing ? Also, what are those little studs for ? Why can't we just replace the tailpeice of our guitar without touching the big screws ? Last question : will changing the bridge also make a big...

Posting a simple list in plain text here would be a good place to start :)

They were this way on vintage les pauls ? Where can I find a list of all the stuff you sell (+ prices) ? I might order some things from you in the near future :)

Nothing really, I just want to be aware of all the options available to me before making a final choice.

I have no brand fidelity also, I just want the best strat I can get for under 1000$. The Frusciante relic model from Edwards seems really good : SD antiquity pickups, high quality electronics, nitro finish and it looks awesome too.

Would this tailpiece fit on an Edwards lp ?

Great, I can't wait to read the results :)

Edwards Fender copies and Fender Japan guitars have roughly the same price and the two brands have a good reputation, so I'm wondering : which one is of better quality ? Does fender Japan use nitro or poly on their guitars ? How do they compare to each other in terms of overall quality ?
