I recently picked one up on ebay. Its a wonderful guitar. Mine is the WNF finish (dark walnut) - its a see through, the body wood is beautiful. It doesn't have the original pickups in it. The previous owner put a DiMarzio Evolution in the bridge and a SD'59 in the neck. It has excellent lead tones and playing "metal" with my band, it holds its own just fine. I think with EMGs you'd do great. They were only made for 2 years I think. I love the necks on the S series, they are very fast. When I got it, I just had to make some truss rod adjustments, lower the action a bit and tweak the pickup heights. Those older japanese ones are slowly starting to become popular.
