I have been using EMG pickups in my Jackson and Gibson LP for years now and recently i plugged in my ibanez and discovered tones that i had all but forgotten exsisted. It was a revolation! However now im left with that question > to emg or not to emg? Im more and more tempted to rip them out and put something different in there. They just seem to do brute force but dont really produce half as much tone!

Is anyone else feeling the same? Or have i finally lost the plot?
