Very nice. I would have killed to have gotten either one of those or the 1527BLK. Was the D-activator easy to install? I'll probably just replace my stock bridge pickup with one of those. Great picture and congrats on the new Seven. Welcome to the forum, by the way.
Hard to say if it sounds like an EMG unless I were to play the same guitar with an EMG. There are some similarities...it definitely has an agressiveness to it.
