Some songs are soooo simple but so fun to play just to kill time (like All Apologies - Nirvana).

Damn straight Bro

Yeah, it relieves stress...

...and sometimes I played guitar in front of my homework at home if I get stumbled. It might give me ideas.

I sometimes play it right here thats why I have 2 computer chairs one has no arms on it so I can play

Hehe...

Pickup replacement for electric guitar is really exciting job as well. My bro got himself these Seymour Duncans for his Samick Les Paul clone and it sounded well and good! The only worrying thing is, the wiring task is very tricky and some of the shielding paint has been peeled off.

Next thing is, he put only one new batch of another Seymor Duncan (this time it is more vintagey) into another of his guitar. I wish he could complete the whole 2 pickup collection, but he preferred staggered upgrades.

I still want a tube amp but all these are too expensive. And having very curious mind in myself, I will do a lot to experiment on how to build those nifty stuff.

Other stuff worth upgrading will be the capacitor, the pots, and even the wires. They give clarity and reliability too.

Changing pickups aren't too bad. LOL!

A nub like me managed to get it alright (with some good help that is...

).

Hey, so what type/brand of pickups you have changed? Allow yourself to show us your gears, once again!

My bro bought these in Singapore when he was working there, it seems that the music stuff there are cheaper!

Couldn't have done it without Mac Daddy.

And man I just love the way it sounds now. Sh-4 is crazy powerful.
