Yeah, in the studio he used a Jem for ALL the solo's, he just doesn't use them on stage. And like i said, i know i'm not going to achieve his tone, and i don't want, i want my own tone, i just really like his and want something to point me in that direction, ya know?
I know he's using D-Activators now... maybe i should check those out. I've heard lots of good things about the Air Norton, i'm definately going to look into one of those, cause i love Petrucci's tone as well.
Hell, i bet about any new pickups would make me happy, it's sad to say, every guitar i've ever owned has had the stock pickups in it. And i've never really felt a need to get new ones untill now.
I love this guitar, everything about it is absolutely perfect for me, except the way it sounds
i can hardly do a pinch harmonic to save my life, yet i can get my bone stock RG7321 and do them anywhere on the neck.
Thanks for the replys everyone, you've givin me some good ideas so far... although a few more opinons wouldn't hurt, hahaha.
And thanks Ryan for suggesting the Evo, i hadn't thought of that one.
