Title. I've been looking to try something new in terms of both sound and aesthetic. I haven't seen a whole lot of convincing videos on the matter and there aren't a whole lot of threads here about it either. So, does anybody have anything to say about them?

Hey all. One of my guitars was destroyed, the one I used for drop B. I view it as fate, I guess, because I wasn't particularly digging the tones from the EMGs in it. However, I need to replace my guitar. It was the one I use for gigs and my other guitar is set up for a higher tuning and I...

Got a new Ibanez RG 7 string and I'm looking to throw some new pups in it. Ran across the Ionizers, but there's a lack of info about it on here. Anybody have any experience?

Hi again. I've recently become dissatisfied with the Distortion neck pup I have in an SE Custom 24 of mine. I like the DDb just fine, but the neck has started to seem a bit thin as of late. So, hit me with your recommendations. I want a warmer sound, more of a bluesy tone than a cutting...

Title says it all; please go into detail. I'm trying to expand my horizons, so to speak, and everyone's input is welcome.

Hey guys. I'm getting one of my buddies a new set of pickups for his Epiphone Explorer for Christmas. He doesn't like the Burstbuckers that came with it, so I thought it'd be a good present to swap out his pups. He wants to be able to sound like Mark Tremonti and Brendan Small with this...
