Should I change the pickups on my guitar?
Hi, so I have this Fender American Standard Strat HSS, and the Humbucker is really good for harder rock as most humbuckers are, but as of recently, my musical tastes have changed to more calm blues. I want to get the Fender SCN Samarium Cobalts that came standard on the American Deluxes prior to 2010 where they replaced them with those N3s. The thing is, if I change them, that might decrease the resell value if I decide to resell it one day ( I don't know if I want to though because it's my first high-end guitar.) Speaking that its an HSS, I have to get another pickguard for SSS, plus the pickups, plus the labor for getting the store to do it. I really dont' want to do it myself because I love my guitar and I'm not very experienced. (I'm still only a teen.) I have the cash definitely and then some from my summer job, but again, the resell value. What do you think I should do? (don't say anything like "save for college" I've got that covered please!)
You're getting way too hung up on the pickups. Young players think there's going to be some magical combination of gear or stomp boxes that is going to radically change their sound. There's not. Pick any guitarist you like from Steve Vai to Eric Clapton to Willie Nelson... hand any of them just about any instrument and you'll still be able to recognize their playing -- because it's about their timing, feel, attack, etc. NOT their rig. When you read long articles about an artist's rig needing to be 'just so' - it's because those guys are so far advanced that tiny differences in their set-up mean a lot to them. Put your energy into developing your style and you'll thank me.
Back to your guitar - when I was your age I also tinkered all my axes - I think every young player does. That's fine - but here's a couple tips. 1) Keep every part you take off, right down to the screws. The best place is in your case, in a ziplock bag, so you never lose them and they're all there when you trade or sell.
2) Instead of changing pickups, if the humbucker is 4-wire (which I think it is) ... you can just split it so you have a single coil in the bridge whenever you want. You can also wire a switch position 2 so it's out of phase like a "regular" strat" to give you that "quack". Change the volume knob with a push-pull (in for humbucker - out for single coil) and you won't have to drill any new holes.
I used to do this with ALL my Gibson 2-humbucker guitars. Put in 4-wire h-buckers and set them up so I could have any combination of humbucker and single coil... in or out of phase. It's great to have an SG or Les Paul that can suddenly do a pretty good 'strat' impression.
There are all kinds of free wiring diagrams online that will show you how to make these changes and even tell you what you need to buy for replacement parts.
Make friends with the best technician in town - he/she is going to be working at the music store where all the 'pro' players in your area hang out and have their work done. Someone like that has probably made this mod 100 times and can do it in their sleep .
Good luck

How to Avoid the Top 5 Driving Errors That Most People Make
What are the top 5 driving errors that people make? And how can they be avoided?
One of the most common driving errors is turning on every other gadget in the car after it has hit the road. Some people compound the problem by activating their pagers and cell phones. Multi-tasking is something that cannot safely be done while negotiating a busy highway on your way to serious work. It might be excusable to fix your makeup if you are just casually driving round the next block in the suburban neighborhood to a friend's house (but even then, you have to think about children suddenly rushing in front of the car)...but that is certainly dangerous when speeding along a highway with tens of other speeding vehicles all around you.
To get around this, fix yourself up perfectly, make all the calls you need to make, send out all the text messages you need to send and be sure and finish your meal at the table before getting into your car.
Another common error that people are unaware that they are doing is tagging too close behind the next car. Your car needs ample time to stop itself after you slam on your brakes after seeing the brake lights of the car in front of you suddenly flash bright red.
If you are running at average speed, you need two or three seconds worth of allowance between your front and the but of the car you are following. Add some more allowance if you are speeding down the fast lane or traveling at night, through foggy weather or on a wet road.
The third common mistake people commit while driving is neglecting to check a corner before turning. People most often assume that because they are turning into a particular direction, no other cars or people are going in the opposite direction.
To avoid this mistake simply requires focusing on your driving and having the presence of mind to slow down when you get to a corner. Whether you are driving straight through or turning left/right, you should give yourself a few seconds to take in the situation in that corner before proceeding. People don't usually cross the street without checking if there are cars going through. The same goes if you are driving a car yourself.
The fourth common mistake that people commit while driving is taking medicines that will make them drowsy. It is not just alcohol that can make you sleepy, antihistaminic or anti-allergy drugs exert the same action. Do not take medicines to control allergies before driving you car.
If you need to take these medicines, take them early on, about an hour or so before hitting the road. Better still, postpone taking them until after your have reached your destination.
Another thing people do which leads to accidents on the road is to rely on their side or back mirrors when they are backing up the car. The spatial impression given by those mirrors are slightly distorted. Objects, including cars and people, that seem to be a safe distance removed from the back of your car may actually be near enough for you to hit. The best way to back up the car is to turn your head and look through the back window of the car. In this way the spatial impression you will be getting is accurate.
Along the same line, be sure to back up immediately if the coast at your back is clear. Don't wait for five minutes before doing that. Especially when he is engaged in an interesting conversation with a friend in his car, the temptation to pursue the topic of conversation after having checked the back window is great. If the driver waits several minutes to back up, a vehicle may have positioned itself at his back.
Just asking, but aside from the loudness, is it actually considered good that they show horrible distortion?
I live in a largely Hispanic neighborhood where people use the sound boxes as weapons - showing off and driving through with the intention of setting off car alarms. But I hear people who are obviously proud of their cars and even keep the windows up, but instead of listening to loud music, I hear speakers that are clearly being run to their limits and being producing distortion that bugs me even beyond the volume. Is this considered good in the mobile boom box culture?
No its not considered good in the Car Audio world. Just people that dont know what loud clean bass sounds like or just thought they knew what they were doing when they installed it.

Guitar Amp and Multi effects question?
i have a line 6 amplifier and a digitech rp 350. when i use both at the same time, it sounds kind of muddy, and not very clear and crisp..
i am using a gibson les pual vixen for a guitar.
You've probably got way to many effects going on at once.
Either use the effects in the Line 6 amp and loose the Digitech, or run the Line 6 amp (you didn't say what kind) clean and let the Digitech handle the effects.
Most of the Line 6 amps will respond well with one or two analog pedals in front of them, but using a multi-effects unit into an amp running multiple effects usually doesn't work well.

60 watt speakers 100 head?
i need a tube head, and im looking at buying a used carvin x100b 100watt head. i have a fender bandmaster 2x12 cab with two 60watt @8ohm each speakers. will this be ok for my cab? or do i have to have a head that is less than or equal to 60w?
also, what section would questions about guitar and amplifiers go in? i cant find an appropriate section.
Just divide the total wattage of the amp by the number of speakers.
100W @ 8ohm divided by 2 speakers equals 50W to each speaker @ 8ohms.
If your speakers are rated for 60W each then you're fine. If they were 30W speakers you would blow them out. They need to be rated at or above the wattage they are being driven at, so you're safe.
