I sold my Stef 8 years ago exactly because of the neck pickup position. It comes down to either hitting the thing with your pick -every- time or leaving a big hole in your guitar. Regarding the Ionizers, if you have the ability, try both the neck and bridge models in the bridge position, and...

I swapped out the D-Activators in my DKA8 and am not disappointed with the results. I found the Ionizers to have better definition and dynamics than D-Activators, although the neck was a little thin to my ears. The split mode is great though, and they also have a terrific clean with the volume...

I felt the same way when I first tried Juggernauts compared to Aftermaths. It may well be as others have said, that it might not be for you. My problem, though, was the pickup height - I've always found that BKPs seem to be quite sensitive to that. I know you've tried it, but you might want...

I am really into them - I put them in a BFR JP that had the old D-Sonic/JP Custom combo, and I've also played them against the Crunch Lab/LiquiFire. So far, the Illuminators are definitely my favourite of his signature sets. To my ears, the bridge is rounder than the Crunch Lab was, and the...

I installed a set of Black Winters last night, and they're definitely a great sound - but at the same time, they seem to me to be kind of like Distortions 2.0. So if you want something different, they may not be far enough away. The SLS's I've had all sounded pretty thin naturally to me, so...

Welcome to the ESP Family :) Those USA ESPs are great guitars. Do you know what year yours is from? I have an MH Custom from 2000, but it doesn't have the abalone binding and it says Custom instead of USA MH. I haven't seen one exactly like yours yet. I've attached a picture if you want...

That's definitely the game of the season for the Oilers so far. It'll be interesting to see if either of the Oiler goalies stay beyond this year. Scrivens certainly made a good case for himself. Then again, Bryzgalov saluting an arena full of catcalling Jets fans during play was pretty good...

Man, I really dig that Floyd Custom 24 - lack of Floyd is one of the things that's always prevented me from buying a PRS. It's cool, until someone asks what the pickups are called...:lol:

I remember watching that Detroit/Chicago game and thinking there's no way that's going to work...right up until they scored.

Man, wacky one in Anaheim tonight. 9-1....that's a -thrashing- on Vancouver. I've never, ever seen a 7 minute 5-on-3. The best part was that the Ducks fans STILL booed the power play even after it went 6 for 7 :lol: I'd give up one of my guitars to be in the room during Tortorella's...

I really dig those Mystique shapes, although the headstock puts me off - a little too jagged for my tastes. Those ST-2's are pretty cool too. If they ever make an ESP version of those flat black teles, I'm in. Interested to see how the new divisions within the ESP tiers pan out.

It was a pretty well played game, though. And a pretty exciting finish. Maybe it's the just the spark Edmonton needs to finish 27th instead of 28th :lol: As an Oilers fan, I gotta have a sense of humour...

I like that the Ken Susi 7 has passive sized EMGs and rings. Looks aside, at least it's easier to retrofit than 707 style housing, provided they drilled a bridge ground. I hope it's the start of a trend in ESP using passive sized actives. It's always been a barrier to me for buying some of...

And the 8th was waved off on a really questionable goalie interference call. That's an embarrassing game for Toronto for sure. Bad day to be a Leafer! Don Cherry really went off on van Riemsdyk after the game. Kind of disappointing - I think out of all the Leafs, JVR is probably the guy...

Edmonton is doomed against anyone these days. I'm just glad Minnesota is out of the division. I've seen the Oilers win exactly once in almost 3 years against the Wild, either at Xcel or Rexall. There's a few teams that are hitting a make or break kind of stretch right now - Vancouver has...

Oh, I know. It's brutal - I think more people than ever were thinking this would be the turnaround year. There was a point last year fairly late in the season where the Oilers were still in 8th and we were all optimistic. It just hasn't carried over. I am hoping MacTavish will eventually...

The Oilers are losing again - although I don't know if anyone really expected them to beat San Jose. 9 shots through almost 2 periods...that's ugly. Good thing they're not at Rexall. Don Cherry says Edmonton fans are the best in the league, but the past couple years there's been a LOT more...

It was a pretty cool game - I'm hoping to go to the one in Vancouver in March, although I do think that the NHL could ruin the magic/marketability of outdoor games by doing too many. We'll see if they run to the well too much and it goes dry next year. Was surprised to see a trade happen...

What happened to Chara tonight? The Bruin D looks really odd without him. Too bad for Dupuis. I'm no Pens fan but their lineup is taking a unreal beating this year. All that's missing is for the Croz to have a recurrence of concussion-like symptoms and that'd be just about everyone.

Yeah, it's one of those that looks okay on the scoresheet but is a lot different during the game. A couple of really ugly rebounds, trouble freezing the puck, and a lot of bad positioning during the first - although he wasn't getting any help from defence. The whole team really turned it...
