Sorry for thread hijack. - I've recently began exploring EMGs lately with an Agile Interceptor 727 I owned last year with 707s. So good through the AxeFX II. I've been super tempted to try some more EMGs since, especially the Gilmour single coils.
My main concern, at least for the guitars that I have that do NOT have a battery cavity, is changing that battery during shows - If I just put the battery in the control cavity loose, I'd be pretty ....ed if the battery somehow died in the middle of a show, cause I'd have to unscrew the plate and all that, not as simple as just popping a battery in. Of course, could route a battery cavity but its not ideal in a new $2500 guitar.
Has battery life while touring ever been an issue for you guys? How long do you usually go before changing your battery? Has one ever died in the middle of a set for you?
I'm very tempted to try the EMG H4 pickups, because of that reason.. but I'm going to try one more set of BKP's first, I think.
