• 1. FENDER SQUIER CLASSIC VIBE CUSTOM TELECASTER, 5 June 2012, 14:17, by BgvmxMoVh

  On the Strat, the position of the pickup is what makes the sound different. Two piukcps, made exactly the same, will sound different in different positions.On the 2nd part, the Jaguar uses 2 single coils, as does the Telecaster. On the Tele, however, the neck piukcp is covered and the bridge piukcp has a much higher output, giving you that Tele twang, whereas, in the Jag they are matched. There are many variations on the SGs and LPs. The current SG Standard and Les Paul Studio use the same piukcps (490R and 498T). The SG classic uses a P90, as do a lot of the Gibson Custom LP repros. The P-90 is actually a single coil.I hope that answered you question. There are hundreds of aftermarket options available, also, as well as options within brands (like the Fat Strat (HSS), dual humbucker or Deluxe Nashville Telecaster(3 single coils), or the Peter Frampton Les Paul Custom(3 humbuckers)).

  • 1. CASIO CTK 6000, 30 April 2011, 17:08, by RedEyeC

    Let me begin by saying I’ve played Rolands, Korgs, and Yamahas since the mid 80s. Never thought of touching a Casio until a friend said to give it try - I always looked at Casio as the cheap dollar wrist watches and calculators we used to buy years ago. I wanted a practice board at home so I would slow down the wear and tear on my Fantom X and Motif I now use at different gigs.

    I unboxed this keyboard this morning and hooked it up - I was absolutely floored at the piano patches I started playing right away! After some editing these piano patches are (I’m almost embarrassed to say) just as pronounced and refined as my Motif!
    A couple negatives: It only accepts MIDI files from the smart card, so this function is really useless; and the sequencer is realtime, not step. But for the amount paid and the quality of sounds, this keyboard is quite a bargain.
