    Suggestion to replace SD Distortion

    I currently have a Jackson RR24Q (mahogany with maple neck 25'5) with SD Distortion in it. I like the tight lows but i find highs a bit harsh and mid lacking a bit. I'm thinking about switching the Distortion for either a Nazgul or a Black Winter. I don't know which one to choose. I'd like some...

    EMG 57 vs EMG 81 comparison (high gain)

    I'm quite a fan of active pickups, especially for high gain. Love both EMG's and Fishmans, but I always felt they aren't that different. So that's why I started creating some demo's to hear the actual difference (and I think it's subtle) This is the first one, the EMG 57 vs EMG 81. What do you...

    FT Jeff Loomis Blackouts 6 string set

    Looking to trade for a set of EMG brushed black chrome 81/85, no other offers. Pickups will include electronics, pickup rings and springs, they fit the quick connect cables of EMGs. Nothing wrong with these I'm just not crazy on the clean tone. Just purchased, PM me if interested.

    Problem with an EMG 81 pickup

    Hi! I would very much appreciate your help to find an issue with the electronics on my Epiphone Les Paul Standard with an EMG 81 in the bridge position. The EMG 89 in the neck positions works fine. The problem is that it's either very noisy, or very weak sounding. It's changing from one state...

    Groovish Metal tone - Need critique

    Hey guys, this is my first post! I’ve been trying to create a good tone for rhythm stuff, and I wanted to see how it worked together with bass and drums. So I just wrote this little piece of generic metal to test it. I improvised a few pieces of lead stuff because it sounded a little boring...

Found this LPJ that playted like butter and sounded great (has the 490/498 pickups). Got it from GC using the 15%...
