    I'm thinking you should go with the $200 cheap model...

    It looks cool and has very good reviews...

    I'm sure it needs new pups though...

        I dunno right off the bat...

        Maybe just a good PAF copy unless you want more gain...

        I wonder what Gibson USA Tony Iommi pups would do in that thing...

        Those are my favorite humbucker, especially for the neck position, not muddy at all...


        I'll look into it...

            I have an 85 in a Strat and I rarely touch it...

            To me the EMG's sound sterile or something and I can't stand messing with a battery in a guitar...

            A good pickup wont feedback uncontrollably...

            Are you going for really a heavy slightly mid scooped sound ??

            maybe a dimebucker...

                        It is an Active pickup...

                        Active pickups incorporate electronic circuitry to modify the signal, thus the need for an external power source.

                        Typically designed for high-gain amps.
                        23. That's the number of people Mr. T has pitied in the time it has taken you to read this sentence.

                          No. Unless you get a good one, it will only kill your dynamics...the pickups you have are more than likely microphonic, start there....

                          I am officially OVER my EMGs, by the way....
