    Pickups for Epiphone LP-7

    Been looking for a good set of pickups for the Les Paul 7 string. The stock pickups have made the guitar more of a ornament then anything in the passed while, procrastination rocks! Problem I am having is the 7th string sounds way too muddy and not enough crunch across all of the strings...

    P1 Blackout 7's for JB/59-7's + $

    hey guys, I would like to trade the blackouts and their parts (pots, stereo input jack) in my Carvin DC727 for a set of JB/59-7's with the pots and jack. Due to blackouts being worth more then the JB/59 set, I am asking for $20 paypal'd as well as the swap - a good deal if you ask me ;) I...

    From blackouts to JB/59 question

    Hey guys, I'm really hankering for the JB/59 combo into the Carvin. what I'd like to know is, would I have to change the output jack on the guitar as well? apparently the blackouts came with a stereo input jack, wondering if i'd have to get a new input jack as well or something of the...

    New Pickup Day! 56K = Patience Young Grasshopper

    Disclaimer: This is not nor does it claim to be a pic story. It is merely my new toys. Which Leon will soon be helping me install. In guitar tech work Leon is to Eric as Drew is to Chris. :leon: And way we go. Here's the bridge humbucker-sized P-90 I got from Vintage Vibe...

    Almost there... (Picstory in progress)(56k... at your own risk)

    My aging RG7420's finish was a bit worse for the wear... so I decided to get it some new duds. Picstory in progress. It's not too late to turn back now... First, we gotta take out the electronics and trem. This doesn't look like a good idea. but, BEHOLD! Decisions, decisions...

    Ok, so i have the screws, the knobs, and im just waiting on the backplate for the electronics cavity. but the tech who replaced the pot ziptied all the wires, so everything is tidy - i was jamming with it on friday :). so without further ado (and this is my buddy's house after we jammed -...

    Recording test clips of pickups, blackout vs full shred

    Hey guys, I just sold my set of blackouts (7 string version) and thought I would record a clip to have for future comparisons. I also wanted to compare it directly to a full shred with an alnico 8 magnet thats currently in my Jackson SLSMG. The pickup to replace the blackouts will be a BKP...

    Refinishing complete, picstory! (el 56k no bueno)

    With the combined forces of MrRedRaider and the sevenstring.org minions, the ugly and decrepit black flake finish on my Fernandes 7 string has been defeated and a new satin black finish has been crowned. Bow to me! :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown: Haha, ok, seriously now. I appreciate all the...

    I need help spending my money...on me (sorry)

    So I'm getting my tax return and need some help in decision making (i'm not that good with choices see), so i'm asking someone, anyone for help... Do I buy a Jeff Loomis Signature w/emg the stock 707s or a C7 Hellraiser with some blackouts? I know they're one in the same, but I've read so...

Ill be getting my set of Blackouts (stock permitting) next week and was wondering what everyones choice is...

    Few active pup questions

    well, im going to get some blackouts (cheap, :woohoo:) for my s7320. yeah yeah, emg 60 yeah, blah blah. still prefer the 60, but not enough to warrant routing. so, anyways blackouts. Anybody install these in their S? Stitchy? how did that go for you? IIRC daybean had to route for depth a wee...

    Here's a new song I wrote today. Hopefully I don't wake up in the morning and realize it sucks - spent waaay too much time on this today. For those of you interested in hearing some other stuff, refer back to this thread. I'm using the same setup as with the other clips in that thread, only...

    Blackouts in a 2027

    Now, I am actually wondering if this is possible going on the amount of electronics in the 2027. Plus I know that the push button and all that routes things differently and all that and that there's a shared volume for the piezo and magnetics. Hence, how easy/bastard hard is the wiring going to...

    Time to modify the 7

    So I've had my RG7420 for about a month and so far I've been able to resist the urge to rip it apart and replace everything on it. I decided I want to replace the pickups and all of the electrical components in the guitar because: A) The guitar plays world better than my Burstbucker equipped...

This isn't our 'real' demo, but just something I put together at home for the purpose of sharing with some friends. No vocal tracks yet. I am...

    Blackouts with the 18volt mod?

    So, has anyone tried the blackouts 18v-modded yet? I'd love to hear how they compare to 18v EMGs and the Classic/Metal Livewires. I heard some pretty old clips of 18v 81-7s that Soldierkahn made and I was really impressed by the sound, great headroom, fuller sound. :metal: I'm thinking...

    The aesthetic impact of BLACKOUTS

    well the blackouts are well and truly here and as we all know one of the plusses of the things is that they don't require routing as they come in the standard size as well as the size of "the other brand" as they like to call it (that still gives me a chuckle). So I ask the SS members...
