And how is its character? Agressive? I'm looking for new pups for my baby and I am not sure if buying Lace-bars or Lundgren M8... looking for an agressive sounding pup like the SH6 Distortion but ERG designed.
And...any of you tried to put a 1 MOhm volume knob and disable tone?.
I disabled mine and now sounds fuller when playing cleans....huge difference. When playing distortion didn't noticed any change...but today I thought about the 1 Mohm pot in order to increase output signal and give more clarity to the sound with stock PU's, so my wallet won't suffer with the Laces. What do you think guys?
I've been trying and trying with lots of different gear and tricks to get a better tone from the RG8 stock pups. Now my guitar sounds amazing. I really like how it sounds. Powerfull, punchy, aggressive but... no enough definition.
I think you can try changing the pot as it is very cheap, but you will finally need to change the pups if you want a correct tone, a quality tone.
Mine sounds great but like a cheap guitar. I think a pup swap is a must if you want to keep this guitar and use it as a main guitar or a backup for live. If you just want to play in your bedroom you can have a very very nice tone with stock pups.
Don't do the one meg pot... It'll be way too bright... I put a 500k pot with my Xbars and they're QUITE bright that way...
At the same time... I think that as a result of some extra electronics in his circuit, Rook is running his at roughly 750k or something close to that and his sound amazing, but perhaps his EQ and bass tone make up for some of that...
Any1 doing custom pickguards already? Arrghhh.. :-/
