J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. is putting out some of the best work of his career these days.

The Vintera 50s pickups are some of the best strat pickups I've heard. I was sold as soon as I heard the demos. I absolutely love them.

Please do! I went with the Custom Shop 69s. Looking forward to jamming out "Velvet Waltz"

I've been going through the same dilemna. Decided to go with the 69 prewired pickguard thinking I could sell the MIM pickguard and offset some of the cost. The guard didn't cost that much more than buying the pickups and having a tech install them. I'm nervous about the soldering but how hard...

That's exactly the kind of strat sound I'm going for too (love Built to Spill) and I'm thinking of the 57/62's. Now I'm considering the CS 69s.

I have the Seafoam 50's. Just an amazing guitar. I never thought I would like the soft V neck as much as I do, and now I want to put the same pickups into my other strat.

The Ditto has a huge following but there's also lots of people who hate it. I had one and didn't like it. Found it hard to get the timing right. For the looper-challenged the looper on the cheap Zoom units like the G1xon, with it's count in, being synced to the drums, and being able to just...

Well it was good but I was expecting a cover of a song by the band, The Church!

It's an interesting question because I don't consider myself to be a good guitar player. Part of the reason why is that I find it so hard to learn songs and riffs by ear (or 'mimic') but it's very easy for me to just sit down and spontaneously create music on the guitar. I've always been able to...

I have one in seafoam. Fantastic guitar. Bit on the heavy side but the nicest sounding strat I've ever played. Only QC issue was the high e string saddle was slightly low.

Wow, now I really want one of these again! :D

The Vibro Champ. I'll bet they'd sell a ton.

I had one for a while. It was a nice little amp. A bit dark for my taste. Girls seemed to love it. It was my living room amp and I got many comments on how nice it looked. Sold it when I bought an old Vibro Champ. Sometimes I miss having it around.

The Azor cheap mini pedals are made by Caline, who are one of the better budget makers. I just got their blue Overdrive pedal, which is the same circuit as their Blue Sky overdrive - a Timmy clone. It sounds great.

I've got one, I like it quite a bit. I especially like the Church setting.

Low build quality. I had a Golden Horse that lasted about a week before dying. My Silver Horse is still going. Also have their EP Booster and Dod250 clones. And their tap tempo switch, which is actually pretty good!

I'm not sure about that particular one but Joyo make some pretty good delay pedals. The Aquarius, the Quattro and the D-Seed are all excellent.

The Zoom MS-50G/MS-70CDR has a nice Detune effect in it.

You can stack something like a Big Muff into a Tubescreamer to add mids and cut through a bit better for solos.

Very nice. I had one of these in the same colour that I gave to a friend's daughter. I miss it! If I ever find another I'm snapping it up.

One of the reasons I gravitate towards my strat is because they're not as "cool" as telecasters and offsets. That and they're just amazing guitars that sound and feel right.

I have the same wireless unit, under a different brand name though. It works quite well! Better than I expected.

I'd love to see a Vibro Champ reissue.

I'm nuts for blue guitars too, all mine are blue with a couple of greens in there. Shame you missed out on the Adorama Lake Placid Player sale. I'm still kicking myself for missing out.

I saw one of these at the shop today. Looked a lot better in person than the photos do.
