Hi,

It depends what type of tone you are looking for. The Duncans are good pickups but are hotter than your average pickup. The hotrail and duckbucker are also humbucking pickups that fit in a single coil space.
If you want the traditional Strat sound you may want to put actual single coil pickups. If you want a hotter more modern sound stick with the Duncans.

IT'S AN EXCELENT GUITAR

I need a new pick guard for a YAMAHA aes800.I NEED ONE!

1. Pickups: Changing pickups will change the tone of the amplified guitar. I'm guessing you play rock, so I'm saying a Seymour Duncan JB, Seymour Duncan Invader, Dimarzio Super Distortion or a Seymour Duncan Distortion. There are many more types of pickups, check www.seymourduncan.com for more info. If you look around on the internet, you should be able to find some good pickups for around $40-$80.

2. Tuners: These are the most underrated part of a guitar. The keep the guitar in tune, and on most cheaper guitars, they don't work so good. If tuning is a problem, better tuners would be wise. www.stewmac.com carries a large selection of tuners from most of the best makers. About $25-$70

3. Saddles: These things are the little metal things that hold the strings up at the bridge(where the strings go through the body) try www.stewmac.com about $10-$20

: I have a fender squire electric guitar (pretty cheap I know) and a pro 185 fender amp, I have only been playing the electric for about 4 months and was hoping someone could explain some modifications that could improve the quality of the guitar...... any help will be greatly apprectiated.

: Thanks

can I add a tone capacitor between my pickups and the active electronics in my bass to match up the input and hold down the noise? Or do I have to change the pickups?

Don't let anybody shoot down your rig.As long as you get a sound you want, play it. I have seen alot of great players with Squires/Epiphones/Danelectros/Kays,etc. because they don't want to ( or can't afford to ) alter a "real" Fender. Make sure you have the action set up for your style, if you don't know much about that, read a little in Guitar Mag's. Ask your local techs. Do a little experimenting with the height of your strings and position of your pickups. Then, look into different kinds of strings, they make a big difference in your sound, (gage,make of string)A cool strat mod is the addition of a fat Gibson style humbucker. You'll need help with the set-up of that, but it really gives you alot more options in your sound. Play it hard! The guy that told you to get rid of your guitar is a dick.

: Could you please recommend a guitar repair in nyc for a neck set on a 1935 national trojan...ps NOT bob jones in bklyn thx

: I have learned all the boxes or positions in the minor and major keys except when I solo, I am still confined to the boxes and feel that I just jump from box to box instead of smoothly incorperating one to the next. Are there any exercises that I can do to make it look as though I am playing around the neck smoothly without it looking like I am useing box forms? Are there any bridging exercises?

Evening, You say you can play the box forms of scales in both major and minor keys. The trick is now to play these scales throughout the neck. Here is something to think about. Lets just use the 5th fret on the E-string. Play the major scale of 'A' in that position.
Now there are 6 different places (standard size neck)
in which to play this 'A' major scale. Find the starting point of where the 'A' major scale begins and ends in these positions. In other words start thinking side to side motions instead of up and down motions.
The more you work through playing these scales this way the more fluent (sorry spelling) you will become in playing throughtout the neck. This way to you will be able to play anywhere without thinking about where your fingers have to be for the next motion. I'm telling you though, start slow and work into it. The speed will come with time and some will the motion. It will get to a point that you will hear something and be able to play it without guessing. Take Care Hope this helps some.. PEACE R.D.
