Members conman02 Posted June 13, 2012 Members Share Posted June 13, 2012 ...........and you know what that means! Another guitar project! This year I am going for a 80's hair metal guitar. SO I was wondering what pick up I should get for the hairiest of the hair metal songs? Also I will be creating a thread once i start the build! Thanks!Connor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ej Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 What's the reason for the hate!? It just doesn't fit my style or the tone I'm after. Too much and too loose lowend, not as much note separation and clarity as I'm used to with my Hellabucker, and just not punchy enough. Really really shines for mid-high gain crunch though. If I was in an 80's cover band I'd be rocking one happily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 I agree that a JB can do "80s" tone well. They're easy to find used on eBay, since they're popular, and they are reasonably priced if you're buying new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
