I bought a 2001 MG series Warrior about a year ago that was essentially new old stock, In other words it was new, but sat in a guitar shop for 5 years. Being a 01 model it came with EMG-HZs and the "Afterburner" 20db active gain boost push-pull pot VS. the active 81/85 combo they come with today. I cant find much info on older model Warriors but from what I can gather it has the EMG-HZ H4 at the bridge(as you may know there are several different HZ pickups). Is this correct? And what the hell is in the neck, its an HZ too but I cant figure out which one. This is just for the sake of knowing for sure, cuz I love how the guitar sounds for my style, just be nice to know.
Question 2: Like I said Ive had this guitar for about a year, and I play the hell out of it. Im wondering how long it will be before I need the frets leveled/re-shaped. I play anywhere from 1/2 hour to 2 hours a day on weekdays, and sometimes as much as 10 hours on weekends. I'm kinda heavy handed I'd say in that when Im rocking out rhythm low on the board or doing pinched harmonics w/ vibrato, I tend to give it hell, and it shows on the frets. About 6 months ago I taped off the board and with 1000 grit sand paper, sanded the frets till the divets where gone(which wasnt much really) then polished them up with ultra fine steel wool. Obviously I dont want to do that continually instead of getting the frets dressed since it will kill the crowns but how many times could I get away with that? Sorry for the long post, figured one instead of two....
Thanks.
