Also, the trem appears to be a licensed, not original floyd. |

ok... I'll change what I said. EMG's have pretty much no "substance." I've had 707's and I'm using Blaze's right now. I prefer the Blazes, becuase they give me that substance, but I think I could get a good chunky metal tone with the 707's and my POD Xt Live.
And dude, don't try and replicate ze masters.... try to be a master... that's just my 1/50th of a dollar though. Make music your own journey rather than follow someone else's. ![]() ![]() |

The music I make up isn't like theirs but it is still shred, I just can't make up a song with 7 minutes plus of shred like they can. My signature sound is kind of the best of both worlds thing, so it's different from them.......kinda. |

![]() There's only one Rusty. Not that I'm assuming that's what he's going for, but just don't go too far after someone else's tone. As for EMG's, they do have less color than passives, but it gives you greater tone control and fidelity. But for an active pickup, they color the sound quite a bit. They're kind of like the middle ground. I've played some jazz boxes with Bartolinis and tried Shadow actives, and all I can say is that they offer a very clear, almost acoustic tone. |

I originally wanted the EMG's because they the best for harmonics and artificial harmonics from what I hear, but the idea of carving up my new guitars flame maple makes me cringe a bit, so I actually might end up going for Dimarzio's.

As for the neck it is very similar to the ibanez 7620 or Prestige 1527, exept that those 2 have necks with 17 inch radius, and this neck has 16, so its a bit flatter, but still amazing I can shred on it so its good enough for that. And it doesent feel like a baseball bat. |

The EMG's are very articulate. Thats why rusty likes them. The notes standout individualy very well and stay focused in high gain situations. I dont understand why people say EMG's have no tone. Its just that they have one tone "rip your face off distortion" and no other pickups IMO do it better than EMG's. Listen to rusty's new tracks with outworld. His 707's and 81-7s scream!
People who balk at the EMG's are typically those who are more versatility oriented and want pickups that can do many things decently. Rather then a pickup that is best suited to Molten Metal only for the most part. You can see this in who those who play EMG's, Metallica, slayer, Deftones, fear factory, Zakk Wylde, Judas priest, Nevermore, These guys are looking for this one tone that EMG does well. PS. I know some of these guys dont use EMG's at all times. |

![]() EMG's have no tone. EMG's plus some good settings, or a nice amp, sound amazing. Rusty doesn't get his incredible tone from them EMG's, he gets his punctuality from them, but not the majority of his tone. And to "yngwie," I was just looking at your gear... and seeing that you're not really finding yourself there, more or so finding the signature models and what others "play" (even though they don't use those guitars). I myself, once dug myself into an area like that, and I ended up wasting a lot of money. Whenever I have the chance to tell someone to think otherwise, I will, becuase that was one mistake I will never live down. Gibson LP + lots of boss pedals = lots of wasted money. I'm harsh and to the point because I care.![]() |

Because like I said before I don't like the idea of cutting up my flame maple top on my new guitar, and having to replace batteries for the P/U's. |

Nice axe, but let me say that EMG's are known for their tone. You say they are known for their clarity and harmonics, but these are characteristics of tone.
You are all welcome to dislike the tone of an EMG pickup through a solid state amp, but I tell you, it's tight and brutal like no other pickup + amp combo. I dare you to get as tight or brutal a sound with a Seymore Duncan through a Vox or even a Dimarzio through a Marshall. ![]() |
