Didn't think I'd like the EMG's but they sound pretty good. Think the neck has moved when it was flown over here last night because theres a big rattle on the first fret, hopefully it'll get aclimatised and sort it's self out; if not i'll take it to my local tech to get ajusted.

Really happy with it as you can imagine....

Wow Tivey... you are blessed with the Alpha and Omega parents.
They rule.

How many volts are you running?
Try 18 before you swap.
You'll dig it, or hate it, and it's cheap to try.

I'm guessing that'll make it sound more hot, not reli into loads of gain, like smooth midy type (like al di meola but bit more gain) lead sounds. I like the bridge pickup but think i wanna change the neck to a duncan, probably a jazz. It is possible to have one active and one passive pickup right? I'll give it a try anyway, kinda reluctant to change the pickups cos of how they look.

Toejam they got it from sam ash
