I recently traded my Ibanez RGT6EXFX for a LTD F250 that came with HZ in them, and that was the first time I got my hands on those since 2005-07.

I love the way the bridge one sound, you can hear a hint of 81 in it, and it's still tight at C#. I can't get the neck to not sound muddy though, I can get a good lead sound from it but rythm is no bueno. I'll tinker with it some more, but no success for far.

Also got a Jackson Rhoads (JS32l) as partof a trade, slapped a 85 in the bridge, single volume no tone. Which is absolutely fantastic and I wish EMG offered a 85/60 set.

What is the scale length? How many frets? Also, what height are the pickups at?
