The guitar is an all mahogany les paul style guitar with a rosewood fretboard and a 24.75'' scale set neck. The stock pickups are open coil alnico pickups which sound really dull and lack output. The guitar itself is very middy sounding and it's lacking in the treble (All mahogany...) . I'm...

I have been using DD's now for around six months now, and I just think I just got bored of the sound. I thought that I was a ceramic guy but after all the ceramic pickups I tried (X2N,DA,DD,Emg81) I just started to hate the "ceramic" sound. I've been listening to a few clips lately and I've...

In my opinion, Schecter necks are the WORST necks I have ever played. Just unbearable to play on. I can't remember a time when I haven't gotten cramps on my thumb from playing a Schecter. The necks are Small (42mm nut), Thick (but not comfortable), and the fretboard just feels plain wrong! I'm...

I just recently got this bass from a friend, it has a jackson logo on the headstock but it's not listed on the jackson site. I'm starting to suspect that its a fake....nonetheless it was extremely cheap(120$) and it came with a guitar stand, strap, tuner, and amp. Took these photos with my...

I know that most 80's death metal bands used dimarzio's (Death=X2N),(Morbid Angel=Paf Pro) so, i've been thinking of swapping out my DD's for dimarzio's, but im not sure which model to choose. I'm looking for something darker,bassier, and more "evil" than the DD but still retaining the clarity...

Recently, I have been experimenting with different pickup heights. Usually, i keep the pickups real close to the strings for maximum output, but decided today to lower it. I turned both screws counter-clockwise twice to lower it (I left the bass side a little higher), and when i plugged in my...

DD gets my vote.

What are the tonal differences? output,brightness, etc.... + which would be better suited for chunky metal rhythms? My guitar has a mahogany/maple body,maple neck,and rosewood fretboard. I have the DD and i just love it but i've always thought of trying the x2n because of Chuck Schuldiner(my fav...

How high am i supposed to keep the pickup for maximum output? and how could i measure the height? right now, i have the pickup (duncan distortion) really close to the strings and i have the bass side tilted abit higher than the treble side to get a really chunky tone, the pickup is maybe like...

i recently got the duncan mayhem set installed on my guitar, but im having alot of feedback problems coming from the bridge pickup, it's like a very high pitched screech which i haven't experienced before with my stock bridge pickup. I took the guitar to a local shop for them to install the...

i just had my schecter (mahogany/maple) installed with the distortion pickup and it sounds phenomenal!! crystal clear under high-gain and sounds very chunky and thick. Alot of people say that this pickup has crazy harmonics, but the truth is that all the pickups are the same when it comes to...

I currently have duncan designed hb-102b (jb) on my Shecter c-1 standard that comes with a flamed maple top,mahogany body,maple neck,and rosewood fingerboard. The tone im getting now is pretty dark and it just doesn't sound thick enough. I play anywhere from saxon to deicide to marduk so i want...
