Members takedeepbreaths Posted September 14, 2005 Members Share Posted September 14, 2005 Honestly, I am a bit disappointed at the moment. These pickups are sounding a bit muddy for my taste, but it might just be a bad match for this guitar. I'm going to experiment some more with the pickup height and my EQ though. EMGs might be going back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it works out with the tone though dude, keep us updated on your progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members takedeepbreaths Posted September 14, 2005 Author Members Share Posted September 14, 2005 The EMGs definitely look better, but I'm more concerned with the tone. At this point though, I prefer EMGs to these. It sucks because I heard so many good things about these pickups. I guess this guitar is just too dark for them. I'll probably put the 81 back in the bridge and a 60 at the neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Romanian Reaper Posted September 14, 2005 Members Share Posted September 14, 2005 Why not get the Miracle Man pickups or whatever they are called? Those are supposed to be like the EMG-81 pickups except warmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just the way he makes them and I wanted them asap b/c I'm impatient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
