Fendbsonez asked: I just installed Fender Vintage Noiseless Pickups in my Stratocaster. I replaced the tone and volume pots and put in the capacitor in just as the blueprints said. My middle and neck pickups sound nice, bright, and loud whereas my bridge pickup sounds very faint and has very little sustain compared to the others, it’s as if I had the volume turned down on my guitar’s settings, that’s the best that I can describe it. I even tried turning the volume down in order to see if it might turn up but it stayed a basically the same volume. Please help!

*~Nadia~* asked: Ive always wondered why theres little lightbulbs in the back of my vintage fender amp. Can someone explain why?
Thanks Brian, that cleared things up.
I take care of it like a baby!
I havent gone to see how much its worth but for being that type of amp it must be worth a good amount!

Frodo asked: I have a vintage 1965 fury double cut guitar in almost mint cond. One owner sounds amazing been stored in original hard case since 1990. I also have a 45 watt tube fender super reverb amp. Both bought brand new same day in 1965. I heard it was one of the first models. Any ideas on the value of this set up? Thanks

kalebselby asked: I recently bought a vintage 335 copy bass guitar. it has a PHAT pickup right below the neck (it’s about the size of a boss pedal) and besides the 335 style body is one of the reasons I bought the guitar.
but after trying to play it during a gig, i noticed that only the A string and D string pick up at normal volume, the E and G strings are really quiet. I had to crank up the volume AND the the bass to get any reasonable level out of the E string and it just sounded horrible.
I’ve already spent a reasonable amount getting this old girl gig-ready (luthier, new flatwounds, mean vintage strap etc) so I dont want to spend too much more at my rip-off luthiers just for them to charge me and not actually do anything. I also really don’t want to have to replace the pickup (or at least not the outer shell, I could probably swap over some electrics underneath as long as it still provides a phat sound… i dunno much about this kinda stuff) so what do you thin kthe problem could be?
the strings are flat and the pickup is flat

Blahblah asked: I can’t find it anywheres, not even at fender.com
I’m aware that I will have to get it custom made, but I’d like it if someone could give me an educated guess on the average price an American Vintage 1965 Sunburst Fender Jaguar is.
Eh?
Please help.
Much appreciated.
