Putting Gibson 57 pick ups into my epi dot

I wrote last week but my computer was down for a few days. I traded an Epiphone Dot for a fender squire tele.I got the Dot I have always wanted on for some reason or other. I play blues and Jazz and am thinking about putting two Gibson 57s in place of the Epiphone Humbuckers. Will I get a noticable change in tone? I was told the two pick ups are similar. I like the Epiphone, I also have a late 50's Fender Strat(the real deal,not a reissue) I have always played on Fenders. I play a lot of slide and slack key styles recntly. I want to get the best sound I can. So what do you folks suggest? Thanks for the input BG

Re: JERRY GARCIA GUITAR (S)

: If you want some good information on Doug Irwin, got to the Modulus Guitars site and click on artists, then click on Bob Weir's thumbnail pic, then click on "letter from the Grateful Dead". You will be surprised at the info on Doug Irwin (builder of Jerry Garcia's guitars) "The Wolf" and "The Tiger". Let me know what you think.

: Thanks,
: Tooltime Tim
: : : Does anyone know who manufactured Jerry Garcia's guitars? (The ones that look like a wolf's head with cropped ears as the cutaways). (Phil Lesh had a bass that looked similar).
: : : I know there were a few different ones he used. They all had 3 pickups and his 2-cable output jack set up.
: : : If anyone has any information, I would appreciate if they could e-mail it to me.
: : : Thanks.

: :
: : Actually I just built myself one cause one of the guys that built Jerry's is dead and the other noone ever hears from.

: : Steve Cripe built "lightning Bolt" and "Top Hat" for Garcia. He's dead.
: : Doug Irwin built the original ones "Rosebud " and " Tiger"

: : You can tell which is which by the cover plate that hides Jerry's midi controls.

: : And all you who say Garcia was crap FUCK OFF!!

Re: Who still builds JERRY GARCIA GUITAR (S)

phigaguitars.com built me an awsome Lightning Bolt for 1500.00 dollars.

Re: single coil or humbucker?

: : : I am planning on getting the fender strat (mexican) and was wondering if I should just get the plain strat with only single coil pickups or the fat strat with the humbucker and two single coils? I will be playing punk rock and rock. Which strat would you recommend? THANKS

: : That humbucker (in theory) should be quieter than a single coil, beefier, and give you a fuller distorted
: : sound. If you're playing punk rock or straight rock, you'll probalby want the humbucker. Just take
: : a look at other punk/rock guitarists... They either have humbucking guitars, or mini-humbuckers. Sure,
: : you can take a strat with 3 single coils and distort the hell out of it... but it won't sound as good as
: : that distorted humbucker. This may not be as obvious when you first start playing, but like most guitarists,
: : once you start to develope an ear for tone, you'll hear the difference.

: : --
: : Jeff

: Jeff's right man. people first starting out don't really have the ear, but you'll eventually learn that if you want a good heavy sound, humbuckers are a must. the strat w/single coils sounds pretty thin- which is appropriate for certain occasions- but not punk. i'd also recommend steering away from the mexican strat- the craftsmanship pretty much sucks. as far as budget goes, i'd recommend epiphone. i played a G-400 in a hardcore band for a few years, and it never let me down. a couple of the other guys had les pauls, and some guys i've played with in metal bands had ibanez, jackson, bc rich, whatever. when you're budget minded, like i assume you are, these brands make guitars and relatively low-cost that soar far above the quality of a mexican strat and will keep you a happy player for a long time(belive me, my first guitar was a cheap strat!)

I disagree with your epiphone suggestion. I bought an epi LP, and it didn't last a month WITHOUT BEING MISTREATED before it fell apart. If I were you, I'd get a single-coil Mexican Strat and upgrade to Vintage Noiseless pickups. You might want to look at the Mexican Powerhouse Strat if you are willing to spend a little more. It kicks ass and is only $500 ($700-something list price). For punk, i think Fender is the way to go.

Re: single coil or humbucker?

well my first guitar was a mexican and i found that with a bit of tweaking you could get better sounds than and similar priced epiphone, also i find that epiphones tend to mae a lot of noise, (as do single coils on a strat but not as much)
i would go for the strat with humbuckers and maybe new tuning heads and a floyd rose trem
you'd get that for about $350 all brand new and nice if yer lucky

Re: Charvel/Jackson Model number question?

Interesting... I just picked up a Jackson with the same description that I have been researching. It is a metal flake red color, the backplate does not have a serial number or stamp at all. The serial number is on the back of the neck, on a sticker rather than stamped. Someone said it might be a Model 3 or 4. What I am coming up with is a Fusion Pro or Dinky. Any clues?

: The Blue Book of Guitar Values and Identification for Dealers and Repairmen shows it to be a Model 3, mfd. 1986-1989. It's an up grade to the Model 1, it looks like the Model 4, except it had 2 single coil/one humbucker pickup configuration with a 5 position switch. The Model 4 has 2 humbuckers, standard vibrato, 5 way switch with active electronics and was mfd. 1986-1989 also. The blue metallic color was not available standard untill 1991, so it would be a custom color option. The standard neck was maple with 22 fret maple fingerboard. If it's rosewood then it's a custom option too. The color of the guitar shaped Charvel logo is a clue to where it was made. The Gold logos are USA made. White or Black logos are made overseas, Korea mostly. Last Mfr's Sug. Retail price for the Model 3 USA make was $650.00. If you can send me some pic's of it I may be able to tell you what it's valued at.
:

: : Take my word, its a charvel model four, sounds like an 84 model, i had one too, mine was red, sold it though, wish i hadnt

: : : I have a strat-style Charvel that I bought back in the late 80's from a friend. I am looking to find out what model it is and where it was made. I have a serial number 243373 and there is all Jackson hardware on the axe. It is a bridge humbucker and 2 forward singles configuration. It is a blue metal flake color, and has a bolt on neck that is maple (back) and rosewood (I THINK) fretboard. The headstock is painted top, and not overlaid. Can anyone help me find this information? I would really appreciate any help. Please mail me at [email protected] for a reply.

Re: who makes the best acoustic guitar amps

: who makes the best acoustic guitar amps
: I'd like to spend under $1000

Gents,
I just spent four months, with money no object, looking for the best acoustic guitar amp. I've played every thing, SWR California Blone, Fender Acoustisonic Jr. and SFX, Crate, Marshall, Peavey, Roland. But, I my opinion, I found the best acoustic amp on the market on the WEB. Check out www.ultrasoundamps.com! These are the best amps I could find for the best price with the best service. Because I don't have a local retail store that carries the amps, Dan Gore(Sale and Marketing) delt with me direct. Also, for pricing from a web based dealer, chech out www.fqms.com.

I purchased the AG-100. This amp has 4 8" coaxial speakers housed in a very light package. Also, it has plenty of power with great headroom.
They also make the AG-50. Check'm out. Currently, I play a Taylor 314CE, Ovaition Shallow bowl 12 string, and my new favorite a Fender Telecoustic.

If you have any questions, let me know.

Give them a try, you won't be sorry.

Regards,
C Pizani

: I bought an Rp7 last week and I also own a Korg ax1g
: and for my money there is no comparison.
: The Digitech RP7 VALVE with it's 12AX7 valve is light years ahead of the Korg.Sure it's more than double the price of the Korg but for the beautiful tone it puts out it's money well spent.

Re: BOSS, ZOOM, KORG

does any body know the components for a tremelo fx pedal?

Re: BOSS, ZOOM, KORG

: Hi,
: I'm thinking about buying a multi effect pedal, but as you all know it's almost impossible to compare them in the shops, what a jungle, could you give me some advise.
: What multi-fx-pedal did you buy and why,
: which would you buy if you had $200 to spend, and which if you had $500 to spend.

: Last question: is the Boss GT-3 really that much better than the ZOOM GFX-707 or KorgAX1G (and which one of the latter two, would you prefer?), they're trying to persuade me (they is the shops).

: THANKS

Re: Electric guitar size

: I am like 13 and want to get an electric guitar...but im like 4ft-11in so im scared that my guitar will be too big for me ..i just want to know is my guitar going to be too big for me or is any type of guitar is good for everyone in every size?

Reply, just to add to what's been said, when one of my daughter's was in her teens and in a similar situation, she had a collection of "short scale" guitars. They were a bit smaller, but still full fize, with a shorter distance from the bridge to the beginning of the headstock, or to the nut, of course. Of these various makes & models, the Fender Jagstang was the easiest to play - it also had a very narrow neck and the strings were close together. I don't recommend the Mustang, but the Fender Cyclone was terrific. Fender Toronado was too bulky, but the Epiphone SG's are nice & light.

For a bass, if & when desired, we had a Fender Mustang which was much better than it's guitar counterpart - short & easy like you wouldn't believe! Only thing shorter we used was the Danelectro Longhorn. Big name, nice little bass.
