    Japanese Sen Ash as Tonewood and Pickup Combo's

    Hi Rick,I've messed around with different wiring and pickups on strats and came to the same conclusions as Lasher ,.022caps and 250k pots. I have one strat with Kinman and one with Fralin pickups, both totally different, but both sets have quality tone (worth checking out) pb

    Japanese vs. Korean build

    Hi Dr. Wu, I've got an ES120 which after a little TLC and a pro setup plays,sounds and feels great.A lot of owners have been putting aftermarket pickups on their guitars (ie Seth Lovers, Fralins etc) but I'm happy with the originals.Have a look on Harmony for reviews.Sorry I can't comment on the...
