I’ve been playing all 25 times of my guitars regularly and came to a conclusion. I really like my EMG 81’s and 707’s, though the bare knuckle blackhawks are great. I was surprised how much I liked the Dimebucker once I adjusted the EQ. I’ve got a set of SD jupiters I want to try out, and some SD...
I just wanted to chime in about theft on the retail level. Where I live it is not just people stealing food, one of the areas I frequent on my walks is littered with the safety seals meant to keep people from stealing bottles of hard alcohol. I also routinely deal with people stealing expensive...

Not suhr about that. But I think you should put whatever pickups in it you want. You can always keep them that way your have the originals if you want to sell it later on. Let other people get suhrley if they want. It’s your guitar.
Holy fuck, are those ever ugly. Diablo has some cool stuff for sure, but then they have some stuff that looks like some of those Kiesel flavored sins against lumber.
Given a choice of those two I would go with the Ibanez, I think the fretwork is better on Prestige. Granted I’ve played tons of prestige and only one Virtuoso.

Pre prestige Japanese made is the the way I go more often than not, though I have 4 ESP original series that I play too. Plugged into my 5153 50 watt.
Though I do enjoy my Peavey Supreme160 and Crate GX130C when I want to go full old school or just create something filthy and different.
