I really love it. Very very thick and aggressive. Obviously saturated af in a great way. Paired up with a 4x12 and good drums & bass in the room I think almost all of us could make some good tones and have fun. And it did not break the bank,...

the effortless wiring, the ease of switching pickups out on the fly to try new models from them, the fact that they offer open coil actives now in the retro series and a passive/active hybrid like the 57/66 etc Even their coil split pickups in the 89 and 81TW etc etc are a breeze to install and use and sound great.

Obviously Fishmans are also great pickups, but I feel the simplicity, price and tonal options EMG offer, is still...

Not too much depth on the quilt maple but the headstock laminate has good depth. The only real flaw I've noticed having it 12 hours is the painted a little bit over the nut on the bass side.

I had it set up at Sweetwater but the frets are pretty nice. Not as a nice as my SS Esp M1 but just that little much better. But I bought that used and...

I've been GAS-ing hard for one of those Japanese Schecters (the SD or NV series) for a long time, and someone in my country is selling this beautiful MIJ Schecter NV-24 for about $1600 (used):

I've been increasingly getting into old 80s guitars from the US. Reading brochures and reading about some of the motivations of those guys, I really appreciate what they were trying to do in setting up high quality guitar...

I have a Solar E1.6 Jensen with a TOM bridge and since I cannot afford an Evertune I am looking for an alternative to improve tuning stability and intonation.

Something in the likes of that schaller bridge with fine tuners (which I cannot find selling online in Europe, maybe it was discountinued?).

By this moment, I'm a father of one 13 years old boy and one 10 years old girl. I love them from top to bottom and I can say they love me back too, which makes me believe my work as a father so far isn't that bad. We live in the same household with their mother as well, so I can say we're a happy family of 4....
