    I think I should stick to six strings on guitar. So what about the others?

    Anyone else wonder how much pickups actually matter?

    The Carvin / Kiesel thread

    The "NAMM 2021" Thread

    I just bought a Kiesel JB100X , Jason Becker Signature model (advice needed)

    The Lithiums have almost no lower mids. Very scooped somewhere in the 200-600 Hz range (if I had to guess). They have a bit of bass, but they're...
