The struggle is real. I stick with dimarzios for practical reasons too. Sticking to dimarzio, if I don't like one, its easier to get a baseline and choose another pretty easily. Trying to find an *insert pickup brand here* that is just a bit more XXXX than a Fred forvinstance is alot harder...

120 you say? Most i had the guts to actually install in a guitar was between 15 and 30 maybe in an hsh strat? I stopped there as there was redundancy and only slight variation in some sounds. My pet peeve is access. I HATE having to use more than 1 switch to get to any sounds. Maybe a...

Huge fan here. I currently have 1 duncan set, a pair of full shreds Dimarzios? Tried: Tone zone Steve's special evo own: 36ths Transitions Paf joe/mo'joe Satch track/mo'joe Breeds Norton Air norton Air norton s DActivator bridge I got a set of dark matter 2s this year. Still wanna try...

Glad you're taking one for the team. I havent been inside a music store in years, aside from replay every now and then.

I saw you a few times when I was there and didnt know it was you. Obviously that was before you were SD's now world famous (infamous?) Mincer.

Agreed on tones at least being somewhat close. RIP doesnt sound right if your sound isnt Marshall based or esque. I guess the idea is that I wont ever chase EVH's tone with a 9k pickup, a variac, a plexi, an mxr phaser, etc. not getting there 100% is ok with this guy. Mids forward you say...

I knew that. You used to teach in the music store on 19 just south of 52 I think? Im in spring hill for now, but intended to move a bit more north to citrus county. Im not a stalker I swear. I have a problem with remembering inane stuff from umpteen years ago. Lol. Probably posts from...

Can I pile on? Not only are they chasing tones from stock 80s "crap", they're chasing low budget, get in and get out recordings of said tones. I'm all about ball park. Eq and gain structure can do some of the heavy lifting here. If im playing someone else's music, I at least gotta put my own...

Pasco/hernando area.

Or you could just order dimarzios for 25% off. Think of all the double cream goodness you could enjoy this holiday season!!! Was that like rubbing salt in a wound? Lol.

I have a hardware store near me in the tampa bay area that has always had just about everything ive needed. Specialty stuff gets ordered in if I can't find it there

Exactly. I've seen my own forum words from 10 years ago pop up THEY make the money on US, or you guys rather. Aside from forums, I have a very small social footprint. I run ad blockers on everything.

Theyre not unpopular, people just started calling them SSH instead. Not sure where this reverse nomenclature started......

I really like schecter's necks.

This is not always true. You are looking at a ~2012-14 rg921. American basswood. They came in red and blue first, then a gray color with a dark wood neck in later versions. These were 900 bucks when introduced, but didn't sell well due to the first year premiums having qc issues, and it...
