To be fair, i love EMG pickups. Especially EMG 57/66 set and 81.
But 707 in bridge? Pure mud. More work to tame the low end, and less playing. It's very difficult just to get an usable tone.
However i do find liking to 707 set in neck. Less shrill because of similar reason as above.
However...
HNGD!
I've got used Jackson Slattxmg3-7 in Slime Green.
Love this guitar, but i want to replace EMG 707 ASAP. It's just not for me.
Any pickup recommendation other than EMGs or Fishman Fluence?
I just want another simple workhorse just like RG7620/21 type of guitar.
With reverse headstock
Or maybe RGA 7 with reverse headstock. Broderick's LA custom shop at the time is such a sick guitar.
Both feels good to me. I just using a bit smaller gauge for same tuning:
B standard
26.5: 9-46 + 60
25.5 : 10-46 + 60/62
I loved 26.5 because of less cramped space in high register
For lead stuff, 25.5" is good scale for ease of bending. For rhythm, either 26.5 or 27 works great. Most of the time i play in B standard - drop A anyway
Definitely! The only thing that i missed is a proper clean channel unfortunately. Bypassed clean tone isn't good enough to my ears.
I've plan to add AMT F1 for clean channel. Those built-in preamp switching system in F1 is fantastic IMO.
Is there any major difference between Mk II and Mk III beside pickups and looks?
Like neck shape or playability issue?
I might end up with MkII if local dealer don't have any plan to add MkIII to their inventory next year
Jackson Loomis? Or you might looking for old Schecter Loomis.
I love mine. This is the rare case when i actually don't want to mod any part in it.
Except strings ofc
Fishman, but not Moderns. I love my KM8 set. Unfortunately they have to discontinue that series because Keith decide to not to be endorsed by them anymore for whatever purposes.
This.
I love how small the size this TC does, but after using Mooer Radar for a while, i think that i don't need that much Cab Sim in the first place.
Lack of XLR output is also what makes me to sell my Radar last year. Sonicake can done it, why they can't?
Just curious. Why Ibanez is so obsessed with using Dimarzio Fusion Edge on almost all of their new guitars?
I'd happened to try them once in local store (RGIXL7), and it was meh. The guitar itself is fantastic thought, only if it has better pickups at that price point.
Even in J.custom they...
