How I rung in the New Year and my *silent* night.
With my new EMG's I had installed in my USA Jackson Rhoads. I had this guitar for awhile but it had Seymour Duncans. I then switched them out to Dimarzios but they just dont push like EMG's do. So, I went to Sam Ash and these pickups are about 95.00 before taxes or so a piece. Well I got them 64.50 a piece and COULDN'T pass up that deal!

Good choice! I hated the Duncans that came with my old KV2 and eventually went with dual 81's.
The Rhoads looks killer! :gj:

Yeah, the Duncans just didn't cut it. Plus my Alexi V has an 81 in it so going back and forth and having to readjust the EQ got really annoying.

81 in the bridge and 85 in the neck.
Re: How I rung in the New Year and my *silent* night.
Yeah, that's the combo. I dunno why anyone would use 2 81's or 2 85's. I have the 81/85 combo in my Schecter and I love it. I have Dimarzio's in my les paul. Little more bluesy sounding. Not as much crunch.

Great looking stuff! I bet that baby tares it up!

It's an amazing player. The neck is dead straight and the EQ of the guitar is pretty much dead on with my Alexi so no real worry about 1 guitar sounding better then the other.

Yeah the Dimarzios are great with a super diode out high gain amp like the 5150 series or the Marshall JVM's. But I agree, great blues sounds. Actually I got a video with the Jackson with the Dimarzios. Check it out.

Definitely some good sound. I'm waiting on gettin' the internals on the Les Paul fixed... something bad happened... haha

Yeah, not bad for not even using a real guitar amp haha. It sounds killer thru my Marshall though. What happened with your LP? Did a pot go bad?
