    What pickups are you using in your Horizon 7-strings?

    I have an ESP Horizon with painkiller in the bridge. I can get pretty defined tones on the lower strings but it is a pain (no pun intended) to control the brittle/harsh highs that I need to dial in to get the chunk the way I like it with this thing. I am not the most savvy when it comes to...

    NGD Schecter Banshee 6

    Potato phone pics first and words later. As you saw from the title, this is the Schecter Banshee that came out about 9 years ago, in 2013 if I remember correctly. Let me preface that I had no plan of buying another guitar, as I recently acquired a Jackson DK7M. But as I was scrolling...

    Hi! I'm modding an old guitar of mine with an EMG 81/60 set. Layout is to be a 1 master vol, and a 3-way switch. I have an EMG PA2 boost (with switch) that I want to include. Ideally I would make the volume control a push pull pot, which would activate the boost if I pulled the pot up, and...

    Passive SD vs EMG vs Fishman Fluence

    Hey everyone, I've been wanting to make this comparison for a while. I recently rounded off my ESP LTD Phoenix collection so I now own 4 of the same model, each with different pickup configurations.

    Need help w/ tricky wiring on EMG solderless system

    So a friend of mine wanted me to install a het set into their guitar with an emg solderless system. The problem is they wanted each pickup (bridge and neck) to go to their own output, resulting in 2 separate outputs. They also wanted to use the 3-way toggle as a killswitch. I followed this...
