They sound like money leaving my account...although I'm in agreement with some of the folks here that the demo doesn't wow me, but the neck could be great. Either way, I'll pick a set up to see what the next genesis of JP is. And, they also have an option for rosewood covers. That's new!

That's a solid choice. I've had Painkillers in 6, 7, and 8 string varieties and they deliver. They've got a definitive British tone that has a lot of thickness and mids if that's what you're looking for. Personally, I prefer Aftermaths a little more over Painkillers in mahogany because I find...

It's a little hard to compare the two since I haven't tried them in identical positions - I've never had a Chisel bridge. I'm not great at quantitative tone chart style descriptions, but I will say that the Anvil has more power, and the bladed side sounds more like a blade than in the Chisel...

Railhammers are excellent. I've got an Anvil and a Chisel and I love them to death. The half blade/half polepiece look scares some people off, but I dig the effect. I'm guilty of changing pickups like I change socks, but Railhammers have found a permanent home in one of my guitars. Other...

I came across an ad for Gelvin guitars randomly one day on the bottom of a Kijiji page, and decided to visit the site for the hell of it - anything that says "THE WORLD'S GREATEST GUITARS" has to be good, or good for a laugh, right? I decided to buy their Demonic Punch pickup set for the hell...

I love it. I have both it and the Herman Li neck, which is supposed to be an even hotter Evo. That being said - it is quite the unforgiving pickup, and kind of demands precision. Like the DiMarzio description says, it cuts through easily, it's loud, and full of overtones. I didn't find it as...

These are a little more unlikely, but just to cover everything... Did you readjust which way the pot was oriented? I see from the picture that the pot lugs are pretty close to the cavity paint. If they're touching, that can cause things to short out and might produce the problem you're...

Another awesome PRS with another strange name for the colour. Those guys do finishes right. After seeing that case I didn't expect that to be inside! Happy new guitar day.

For me, it was the little-known backing band from the improvisational comedy show Whose Line is it Anyway? from the early 2000s. I was always amazed at how Laura Hall & Linda Taylor could instantly make up something catchy and appropriate to back up Wayne Brady's singing. Now, of course, I...

Of course - but you have to do it in the most unrealistic, stereotypical French accent you can come up with. Then there's also this: I'm sure people laughed...until he became a Hall of Famer.

They do sound REALLY good for the price. I bought screamers one day for fun along with their 81C 85A set and they were both impressive. For 25-50 bucks, I would take them over EMG Selects any day.

Ever thought about Duncan Distortions? I've always liked them, but once I tried them in my own all mahogany Jackson they've become something I love. Could be a winner for you, too.

That's interesting - we had the same issue where I lived a few years ago, and the name Ima was thrown out for exactly that reason. The worst I've come across was in an old company database - Real Dumas. We thought it was a joke for awhile but a coworker called the guy up and it was legit.

Wowee...that's really impressive. And I dig the white EMGs. Cool stuff, man. Enjoy it!

I don't believe DiMarzio offers any different spacings for 7 strings. So you should be fine - the default DiMarzio spacing for 7s is F-spaced.

The black Duncan wires go to the hot on the jack - the red and white wires are soldered together, and the green goes to the jack ground. I've toasted a couple of those Ibanez switches with too much heat before and they produced the same issue you're having - it's unlikely but possible. Put...

I'm pretty sure that counts as an import 3 way, so I'll bet it's wired similar. I don't have anything to draw diagrams with, but I found something simple that might work. Try this one: That's how a lot of imports are done, although there's more than one way to do it. The bridge and...

I don't know much about the materials or science behind swirls, but the RG20051 was swirled without a pickguard. It was a limited production model, but it wasn't fancy - just an RG1570 with a swirl job. I've seen 2 of them up close. They were both played heavily, but the swirl showed no...

That is awesome. Jackson's pink is killer. Although it looks like they could've stuffed ONE more dot in to the left of the trem - it seems like empty space to me.

Damn, someone beat me to it. My friend used to do that while we were ordering at drive thru windows. So I guess I'll go for this. @ 6:27
