I have both... a ATX with Blackouts and my new Loomis with EMG's..... And I had a Hellraiser with EMGs... the guitar body and neck make a big difference to me... the EMGs did not sound so good in my Hellraiser but in this Loomis they Rock!!!! If I had to pick between those I would go with with the blackouts......
But Buy a Loomis!!!!
