Hi I just joined a new band and I need some pickup advice. Our influences are: Type O engative, The Mission< Danzig, Sisters of Mercy, Etc.... Playing a mix of covers/originals I'll be using my Schecter Kenny Hickey Sig for the Type O stuff (it would be rude not to) But for a lot fo the other...

Hi I'm due to get this guitar on Tuesday It's a 91 American standard, andf it's supposed to have YJM Fury pickups My concern is that there is no YJM stamp on the pickups. I spoke to the seller and has reassured me that some of the early run YJms had no markings on them. Is her telling the...
