Members Fret22 Posted December 1, 2004 Members Share Posted December 1, 2004 So who sells more Artcores, Ibanez advertising or the Harmony Central BBS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rocknrao Posted December 1, 2004 Members Share Posted December 1, 2004 Originally posted by made of stone' upgrading the pu's really depends on what amp you have, and what kind of music you're going to play. my vintage club didn't like my artcore's pickups, so i had to change them. either that or i'd have to get a new amp, which would be considerably more expensive. however, if i played with some distortion or overdrive, or other effects, i'd probably have kept the stock pickups, as it was cool that way, but i need good sparkly clean sounds, so a new pu set was in order. How much were the retrotrons? Are those Gretsch/DeArmond pu's, or copies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members made of stone' Posted December 1, 2004 Members Share Posted December 1, 2004 retrotons are gretsch copies made in asia by a company called gfs. look for a seller called guitarfetish on ebay. there are a bunch of cool budget pickups there.

Members heavyles99 Posted December 3, 2004 Members Share Posted December 3, 2004 As long as you got it into the right thread, that is that matters. At least that is what she said. Innuendo is dead as of this reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members made of stone' Posted December 3, 2004 Members Share Posted December 3, 2004 seriously, if i come upon one of those, i'll certainly give in to gas. i'd trade its pu's for p-90s, as i don't have a p-90 guitar yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members made of stone' Posted December 4, 2004 Members Share Posted December 4, 2004 that baby would be a serious p-90 candidate if it was mine, though it looks pretty good with the chrome hb's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That gives me GAS bad good thing I'll be getting money for Christmas Hell yeah it sounds as good as it looks! I have flatwound 11-50's with pretty low action, and I play it through the the Fender twin model on my PodXT. Great jazzbox. Even Gibby snobs are surprised at how close it comes ...

Members Bmajor Posted December 6, 2004 Members Share Posted December 6, 2004 Bump for Moonlight Blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rocknrao Posted December 6, 2004 Members Share Posted December 6, 2004 The good news is that its set up nice, right out of the box, no crackling in the pots, neck is straight, frets smooth. Sounds more or less like I thought it'd sound through my amp. bigsby works alright. It sure is pretty too (seafoam green). The bad news is that there's some noticeable discolorations in the binding, and the "artcore crevice" (behind the neck pup) seems to have a layer of what appears to be glue on it. Its rough and unfinished looking, and when I swabbed it with a cotton swab, it tore the cotton right off! You can't see it unless you're examining the instrument up close, but since I know its there... I suppose its what you'd expect for a $290 guitar bought sight unseen. Well...I'm going to go get a sandwich and think this over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
