New Guitar! New pickups!

[crwnedblasphemy]

Picked it up about a month ago, and swapped out the pickups last week. Turned out to look pretty cool.

I don't think I'd head a Steve's Special until now, sounded pretty dang good, maybe a little middy? Nice guitar.

Cool

Cool guitar! The way you have it set up reminds me of the old petrucci signature series guitar. Probably sound killer through one of those Mark IVs too.

Yeah, it's a mid-heavy pickup. Petrucci was the notable user of it. He had a mid heavy pickup to balance out the scooping of his Marks.

Actually it isn't. It has less mids than most dimarzios. The guitar has some mids to it. My other axe has the same pickups and sounds totally different. It is because these are direct mount to maple strip, and not mahogany.

You know your metal.....good man!

Sounds good man! How is the neck on your Ibanez? Is it super thin like the RG550s?? I've never played a neck through Ibanez.

It's something like that. He has thing x which he pairs with thing y and that levels his mids or something. I read it in an interview a while ago
