Members guitarbilly74 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 9, 2012 Dude. I want to mock you but it bugs me.too. This kind of {censored} keeps me up at night, dude. I am sure it would be the FIRST thing I notice every time I look at my guitar and it will bug me like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members madryan Posted March 9, 2012 Members Share Posted March 9, 2012 Your guitar is probably F-Spaced. Virtually all guitars now are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarbilly74 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 9, 2012 Your guitar is probably F-Spaced. Virtually all guitars now are. No, it has a standard Alt 8 in it right now (not F-spaced) and it lines up perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarbilly74 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 9, 2012 ROFL, yeah, most of the time the lead times were like 8-10 weeks. I lucked out with the painkillers, though, and got those 1 week after I ordered them. Too bad those didnt last. After that, I started trying to find used ones, but sometimes I just had to order them new, which meant 8-10 weeks lol. I would just forget about it...Im REALLY good at compartmentalizing and getting rid of things that I dont want in my head...so it worked well for me. But yeah. I get ancie waiting like 3 days for some one to ship me a {censored}ing pedal or some {censored} haha. Id rather have a long wait time, compartmentalize, delete, and then get a surprise, OR just go to GC and buy something....the in between stuff is what kills me haha. {censored}, I ordered some batman plugs for my ears last week that I cant even wear yet, and I was freaking out about them getting here, checking the tracking updates every 15 seconds and {censored} lol. I would need some different kind of painkillers if I had to wait 8-10 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarbilly74 Posted March 9, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 9, 2012 Anyway, I picked up the D-Activator during my lunch break, can't wait to get the guitar tomorrow and try it out, I hope it works for me And I already KNOW my OCD will not allow me to have a DiMarzio in the bridge and a SD in the neck. That's just not right. So I will probably be getting a neck pickup soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sound bad at all...but I rarely use the neck pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Murdoch Posted March 9, 2012 Members Share Posted March 9, 2012 So you bought the D-Activator KNOWING that it would cause your OCD to flare and go all FFFUUUUUUUUUUU, and that you would end up selling it anyway?You're either brave, sick, or really sick.

Members magh8 Posted March 9, 2012 Members Share Posted March 9, 2012 seriously just buy a set on emgs....if thats what you like do it and sell the 59http://acapella.harmony-central.com/showthread.php?2882649-FS-EMG-81-60-set-quick-connect-in-box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members duncan Posted March 9, 2012 Members Share Posted March 9, 2012 So I decided not to get the SG and buy a MIK Hamer Vector my buddy is selling, mostly because he's one of my best friends and I am trying to help him to get $ to go to school. Also, I love the Hamer imports, so it's a win-win.I played the guitar last night and it plays really well, same exact neck as my Studios, which is great. The guitar will come with a Seymour Duncan Alternative 8 in the bridge, which I think sounded WAY too hot and fat for my taste. The neck pickup is a '59, which is good. So I need to decide on a bridge pickup before I get the guitar tomorrow. I am looking for something that is high output, sounds big and with tight low end. Basically my usual EMG tone but I want to stay with passives on this guitar if possible because I do like the '59 in the neck and don't want to buy a whole set of actives. What do you guys recommend? Keep in mind the Vector is a set-neck V with a maple top, alder body and maple neck. What did I say!? WHAT DID I SAY?!??! SH-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're either brave, sick, or really sick. Well, I figured it would be pretty easy to trade either the Alternative 8 or the '59 for a DiMarzio neck pickup and sell the other one to almost cover the costs of the D-Activator, so it will be a nearly free pickup swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
