Really? What didn't you like about the mean 90? I've got one in the neck position of my tele, and I'm loving it. Just curious.

Man, every morning I get up and see all the shit you have already done in the day. Makes me feel lazy somehow. Also your wiring makes my OCD hurt :wink: Seriously though, way to go Mr productivity.

It was just really muddy and didn't have the crunch i was looking for, this other guy said the same thing to me about them, maybe it was the individual pickup , because everyone really raves about them. I have had mixed luck with GFS , either love them or hate them, I had a Crunchy Pat, that I really didn't care for , but I also put a pair of those retrotron surf ones in for a friend of mine and they were SUPER cool. And I had a set of their singles in my strat for a while that were real decent too. Gonna try those dream 90's out , for the price u can't go wrong.

Ah, understood.. yeah, my mean 90 doesn't have much "crunch" to speak of. Thankfully, mine isn't muddy, pretty sparkly, actually. Might be the tone caps I'm using, or maybe there is some variation between the same model pickups. I bought one of their pre-loaded pickguards (HH Strat) - don't like them much at all.

Are those just regular old stick on labels?
If so, how do you keep your edges from fuzzing up?
Every time I've used them the edges look like shite!

I cut them with scissors and coat them instantly after attaching em.
If I use a knife the edges suck. SOunds contradictious but works for me!

Hey, I was wondering what program you used for your graphics, I always have aton of trouble shrinking images down, it looks blocky, like u can see the pixels and image gets distorted. Am I missing something? or do you just have to look for really high res images?

I convert all my images to vectors first, then I can scale it to whatever size I want without pixeltrouble.
I use illustrator, but I know people who got good results using inkscape!
