Ah, okay. I knew something was ash. And I knew koa didn't sound right, but I do recall Ed talking about the Destroyer being korina now.

They called the finish "korina", but the actual wood was ash.I feel my soul go cold... only the dead are smiling.

OK,
So I picked up a set of EMG's over the weekend and put them in the Explorer. I put in a set of Zakk Wylde EMG's 81/85 and wired it up for Volume/Volume/Tone as per the instructions. I was very careful to follow the instructions. The EMG's sound OK... The only issue I have is that they just do not seem very hot? This is my first time with active pickups and I was expecting squealing feedback, pinch harmonics and super hot, high gain and the pickups are in the gain range of the 59/JB. I was expecting a lot more - like the 59/JB's with an TS808 or similar drive in front of the amp without needing the pedal. It is almost like the battery is dead or almost dead. I have changed out the battery to a brand new one. Slightly better but still a bit disappointing. Any thoughts? Am I just expecting too much from the EMGs' or is something wrong?
