I think part of the reason those are not super expensive for being Japanese made is because they don't really have brand-name pckups. I don't know if they're still the same, but I've had the V7 and V8 pickups before, and they're alright. The V8 is kind of a generic-y medium hot pickup. I read...

I hope you enjoy the 'Winters! It's one of my favorite Duncan pickups. Right now, I'm enojoying the Custom (I have it in a guitar in Drop C), so I was going to recommend it as well. But the Winter is another great choice. It does have the rasp in the high-end that you mention, though. I love it...

I've had the NOS Russian wafer base tubes as well as the new Sovteks, and I didn't find the old were "better" to me. The old ones were very slightly darker. That's it. I kinda liked the newer ones because they were more aggressive. That's kinda the point of those wafer base 5881's to begin with...

I liked the first clip a little better. Second clip was a bit over-the-top sizzly for my taste, but the first clip sounded nice and chunky while still being aggressive!

I personally don't like the the squelchy/scratchy attack of a traditional single coil for metal. It's a bit much for me. I did have a Squier Esquire which was pretty good for the money, and I had a bunch of different pickups in it to get it to sound how I wanted for t3h chuggz. I had a DiMarzio...

I dunno... "Telecaster" decals don't automatically erase off the headstock once you install humbuckers in them. :p Fender did label those stock humbucker Teles as "Teles" too.

:D

Great playing! :D

Thank you! Honestly, 1 is my favorite too, but I like 3 and 2 as well.

I think it's a cool pickup that has a JB vibe if you're into your JB's., but that's not a 1:1 clone. To me, it almost sounded like you took elements from an A2 JB and a stock A5 JB. The Dominion might be worth a try too if you want something like a tighter, more modern JB with a twist of...

Thank you!

Oh, man. I ADORE that model. I had a 50W, an LBX 1 and 2, and this model 100% has the vibe.

Thank you! Not sure if you mean a lead guitar by 2nd guitar, but on my clip, it's 4 guitar tracks playing at all times. :D

3 is definitely the tightest, I feel. However, 2 has less low-end. Not sure if 1 is actually the tightest, now that I think about it, but I feel the low-end is the fastest-tracking. Thanks for listening. :)

Thank you!

I love LTD's. Regarding mid-priced instruments, I've had the best luck with them. Way more consistent than PRS SE, Epiphone, etc. All of the ones I've had have been solid at the very least. I've had a couple that could rival much more expensive guitars.

Thank you!

The riff is not mine. I wished it was, but nah. I heard it some time ago at the Sneap forum. Not sure, but I believe it's by a band called Machinate? Don't quote me on that, but yeah. It's got groooooove. Thanks! Yeah, 3 has some aggression going on. I like it... but at the same time, I'm not...

I love my JB's, but I'm not sure it's the right pickup for this guitar at this point. Sometimes I love it, though. But other times, yeah, it's a bit much. I've kinda wanted to try a Tone Zone for a while. I'm just not sure it'd be the right pickup for a Les Paul in Drop C, though. Then again...

Thank you! That's the Strat. :D Thank you! 1 is the LTD with the Ant JB, 2 is the Strat with the AT-1. I think what you're hearing with 3 is that the bridge pickup is closer to the bridge itself than on the other 2 guitars. I kinda like it, but it does have a way more aggressive attack than...
