mmm...yeah :confused:

In this case it was definitely the pups though. Once the new Fokin's went in it sounded totally different/way better. The guitar was pretty much perfect otherwise, fretwork was incredible, nut was cut/installed great etc..

When I first got my "Grote" semi-hollow from China ($210 shipped) the pickup's were actually more 'unique-sounding' than my playing :p. So dry/grainy/choppy & honky that they kinda made the axe sound like a trumpet. While it was kinda cool for a while I swapped them out with a pair of...

This.

And last but not least.... TONE: (without forgetting unforgettable melodies + shred-0-rama/tap-0-rama) In conclusion: Being unique is tough ...but nice 😎

Tap-o-rama: Stunning Visualizations: Tap-o-rama + Stunning visualizations: Shredelicious robot/random notes which drive DoT (Dork's Of Theory) nuts: East meets west:

Nice colour! Wonder if the active thing with the dummy coil is similar to the simulated "neck pickup" circuit I have in my 30 Fret Ibanez RG550XH.

My Jackson DK2 has a SSL1 in the neck, lil Screaming Demon the middle and a Lace Alumitone Deathbucker in the bridge. So technically HHS (if you count the lil Screamin Demon as a humbucker ....which it is). I love that axe, but unfortunately I need to fix or replace the Floyd which has some...

hha..that will have to wait...can't find my screwdriver atm.. But here's another one of that voluptuous top... (up real close) :D

Why not? And the side too... :D

My Indo Ibanez Saber Premium with a Dmz Tone Zone bridge pup, True Velvet single coil in the middle & Air Norton in the neck...it has a slightly darker, warmer/deeper tone than my other S Series axes... Playing-wise ...eh it's a Saber. What do you expect?? Needed a string change badly.....but...

Played this one for a while...my Sire Larry Carlton something... It's a sweet SSH axe that plays like butter...

I have'nt had any fretboards really dry out like that. The weather here is hot but humid so...stuff like strings rusting is more what I have to deal with. Gorgomyte puts the richness back in my fretboards & keeps my frets shiny. If it ain't broke....

I use Gorgomyte & have used it for decades. Not messy, cleans/conditions your fretboard & polishes your frets (with dramatic results) in one go!

I have been playing a bunch of my Cort's after swapping strings on them.. (y) If you want a sweet shredstick for under $500 (like me :p) nothing beats a Cort imo. The Maroon X700 w/ the white Fishman pups is the only one I paid a bit more for..
